How to make the most of community feedback. A discussion session with a very interactive setting where Maemo Devices product managers and top bugs.m.o and brainstorm.m.o contributors can understand better each other and set higher levels of collaboration.

1h in big room? Like a real pannel?

I think we need a "community" (i.e., maemo.org) oriented session for this too -- only 25-minutes, though.

I definitely would like to see a interactive panel at the summit, probably with some introductory topics, but after this totally open to the audience (with some moderation of course).

In terms of the composition of the panel, I would say:

* Maemo Devices PM
* Council member
* Developer
* Power User
* Moderator

Would there be a chance for the presentations to be streamed live using WebEx or a similar tool?

If wifi is available then we have the possibility of a live stream though stickam or qik. I have a nice 'HD' quality webcam (Logitech 9000 pro) that can sit on top of my laptop in front of the speaker although a more professional solution would be preferable.

I can't help dreaming... Wouldn't it be nice...

There would also be a need for either an alternate, dedicated Internet link for the presentations or a traffic shaping setup to protect the presentation streams' upstream bandwidth. There's likely few venues in the world that would find themselves with surplus bandwidth when invaded by 350+ geeks wielding at least one WiFi device each.

While I couldn't bring much of my webcasting gear were I sponsored again, a TVOne CS-320 scan converter is certainly small enough to pack along. It will convert VGA to composite, Y/C, and RGBS, should anyone have gear that will take matters from there.

EDIT: Beyond the scan converter, I may be able to help out by bringing other small gear. I have an assortment of converters, adapters, and the like at work, and I could probably get permission to bring some of it. Wireless mics might be a problem, as I suspect the permitted frequencies are quite different, but I'd have to check.

Anyway, I'd like to help out if I can. Further discussion of recording & streaming the presentations might be better as a separate thread though.

In light of recent developments, one more request: ConnMan.

Makes a lot of sense but this has to come from a Nokia employee. I feel this has a lot to do with Maemo.

Is the Content Committee going to decide which proposed sessions should go to the schedule (and get the speakers) or how should we proceed with the proposals in this thread?
