I added my name to the wiki but didn't say anything here - do I need to request an invitation here also?
I'm interested in attending for a number of reasons - a long-time interest in usability and design in the GNOME project, and through being Docmaster, an interest in improving UX docs for developers.
I've been doing some stuff for internet tablets since I've bought a 770 in 2006.
- The first project was a port of the Nethack game with a customized UI to be used in the tablets.
- The following was an attempt to port VLC and some libmpeg2 assembly optimizations as my university graduate project.
- The last one is the Tuner Tool that I wrote as introductory project into gstreamer.
As part of my work at Fluendo I've been involved on some of the codecs shipped by Nokia in the different devices.
I don't have any specific project in mind for the hackfest, maybe porting nethack to maemo 5 and improve the UI, or I could also join to the video edition project.
Hi, I'm a Symbian C++ developer, and I live in Barcelona. It would be a pleasure to take part in this project. I've only got end-user experience with Maemo platform, but it could be a great opportunity to start doing something more with it, since it's becoming a serious player in the mobile world.
I would only be able to attend the meetings on Friday. I hope it wouldn't be a problem.
We are hoping to open the formal registration and sponsorshipm requests as soon as we have the registration tool up and working (the same we used for the Summit). We will follow the same process with Kaleva Travel as we had in the Summit and I'm looking for a right hotel t have shared rooms for the sponsored participants, just like we did in the Summit.
Budget, travel agency, venue, UX specialists, almost the hotel rooms... all is prepared to start approving sponsorship requests and start booking flights BUT
day after day I'm waiting for some help to fine tune the registration page so we can start calling to the Maemo - Barcelona Long Weekend participants. In previous events it has been Niels the person creating the registration events but this time he is on holidays. But there must be someone elsem knowing how to do this...
I have asked for help first in the maemo-community list and now directly to Nemein, since it's a Midgard module and I don't know how to edit the form (we don't have shirts and the areas of focus are different than in the Summit, that's all). As soon as this is fixed we will be able to start processing your requests, and we will go fast.
If tomorrow morning this is not fixed then I will send an email with travel instructions to the people invited and the worst that will happen will be that you will need to register formally when the registration tool is up and running.
Btw, do you know that Dec 6th is a Bank holiday in Spain? Since you called the "other event" a "Long Weekend" I assume you know, but just to be on the safe side...
