Yes, the Content Commitee has this mission, we already evaluated the first round of submissions, and added the proposals to the schedule. Right now we are waiting for more info about some of the proposal in the queue, but everybody can help us decide, just add your comments about the proposals in the queue to this page: http://wiki.maemo.org/Talk:Maemo_Summit_2009/Submissions

It's been touched on in this thread already, but I'd like to focus more specifically upon it as I feel it's quite important:

In addition to app and platform developer level talks on Mer, I'd like to see to see a user-level presentation. It would be nice to see how it compares to both the Diablo that owners of existing tablets know and that newfangled Fremantle.
  • How can it be installed?
  • Can exiting Diablo contacts, bookmarks, email, and other data be carried over by Backup/restore or other means?
  • How is the UI different?
  • Which Diablo and Fremantle technologies are in, and which have been left out?
  • What applications are already available for Mer? Which ones are coming? Which ones just won't work?
  • How will Mer evolve along side Fremantle? Harmattan?
  • Etc.

Are the Mer folks already planning such a talk? If not, would one or more of them be interested in doing so?

Failing that, I feel the need for such a presentation is great enough that I'd be willing to attempt it myself, if need be. Note though that as I'm no expert on Mer, I'd be pestering the developers frequently for information from now until the Summit, so they wouldn't be getting out easy.

A new device. Kinda obvious, isn't it?

I'd like to see a presentation about the status of Qt for Maemo.

I know it will be default in Harmattan, but developers in this moment are asking: "am I able to start developing in Qt for Freemantle too? I don't want to write my application in Gtk for this release and change the toolkit in the next release..."

We should really consider this.

Yes, it would be probably a good idea to have an official talk about that, preferably by a bona fide Troll or someone from Nokia.

As for side notes by users... You're good to go with Qt even in Diablo. In a couple of days there should be Qt packages (by yours truly) that reside on the internal SD (so ordinary users can use it without filling the flash space on the default/uncloned layout).

The actual change is that while you *can* code with Qt, many of your system interfaces will be based on non-Qt stuff (think address book, location & media framework, etc). As I understand it, with Qt being the real deal, these will become Qt-ized (or at least get a Qt style middleware) in Harmattan.

A Qt talk is a good idea. If a qualified speaker wants to submit a proposal to the wiki then the team will consider it.

Current state of the community days:

Track: Approved(in the queue)/slots available

Users: 5(1)/ 13
Application developers: 6(7) /13
Platform developers: 1(1) /13
Lighting talks: 1(1)/22

Note that some presentations are proposed for both application developers and platform developers tracks, so the number may vary a little bit.

Also remember that there's a special room for BOFs, hands on sessions or workgroup sessions.

More sessions suggestions are welcome, specially for the users track

Is it anticipated that "Mer: A year after" will cover the sorts of topics I mentioned earlier in this thread? To wit:

Or are those topics too user-specific for a general Mer session?

Is what I'm planning to have in my talk. Hoping to find a passionate user for the other.
