If you agree on the Nokia day then Peter is happy to start working on the agenda.

We need to discuss then the 2 community days scope, main tracks, audiences... It would be good to have purte community members driving that. I can help with my pure community shirt and also keeping the link with Maemo Devices if needed.

The objective would be to define the placeholders for the 3 days so people like fms can start filling it with proposed sessions.
This sounds great! A few questions that probably need resolving before we get started on community content are:
  • How do we select content? will the council do it, will there be some kind of Summit presentations committee? If so, how will it get chosen?
  • Timeline: Summer is almost upon us and with Summer holidays typically being in July in Finland, we will need to get a move-on with the call for papers.
  • Infrastructure: How will we manage collecting presentation proposals? A mailing list, submissions in the wiki, a Midgard module, or some other specialised solution? If we're going for the low-tech solution, the workload for the papers committee will be greater, and the risk of error (an overlooked proposal, or an error in transcribing) is higher, but if we go for some kind of conference infrastructure, it will take time to set up.
  • Talk formats: This will decide how many talk slots are available - how long will talks be? With what breaks? How many talk slots will there be in the day?

I mived the draft schedule and a bunch of other schedule related questions to http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo_Summit_2009/Schedule in the wiki to try to keep the main page cleaner.

Cheers,
Dave.
