Hi,

I don't mind a community engagement talk, but it would have to be framed right.

I don't want a presentation that can be summarised as:

• Here's all the stuff Nokia's doing wrong
• Here's all the stuff the community should be doing
• Here's how to make everything better

A good community engagement presentation for me grows out of action rather than reflection. Allow me to explain.

My 'Documentation co-creation" session will talk about the successes we've had with installing MediaWiki and using it pretty effectively, integrating tmo content into wiki.maemo.org, proof-reading official documentation like the HIG, and bringing Nokia produced documentation to a point where it will be in the wiki for Fremantle, and has been available as early pre-releases for quite some time.

I won't be talking about how life is all rosy, but I will be saying "we have the tools to make a difference, we have the people to make a difference, we have been making a difference, now let's hit the home run".

If there were an area where, through your work, you have perceptively improved the Maemo community, and you believe that there are (a) lessons to be learned from that and (b) more work to be done that you want to "sell" to people, that would be an interesting talk.

Cheers,
Dave.
