Reckon you can manage "reverse engineering binary drivers" for this year's...?

Personally, as a developer, I would love to see more development talks. This is where the idea of separate streams comes in handy like last year. A developer stream, a familiar user stream and a newbie stream would work well.

Well, I've got the airline miles, so if I can wrangle a place to stay I just might go!

Very nice location with rich cultural background!!

To give some idea where its located

Any chance of a webcast? Even though I'm a noob I'd love to see what's cooking , and plane fares from brazil are just INSANE =(

I'm sure there will be videos after the summit, by either myself or others. Not sure about a live stream but videos last year started to be processed within a week or so after the event.

I just spotted this today, looks very interesting. One question for now, what language(s) will the summit be using?

English is the official language, although there shouldn't be anything against proposals for sessions in other languages.

Well, if anyone is interested, I can do a talk on emulator development, interfacing with various video/audio hardware and frameworks, and/or optimizing code for best performance (including ARM assembly and hardware considerations). None of these are Maemo-specific but they may be helpful to Maemo developers as well. Somebody has to be really interested though, as it makes no sense talking to an empty room. So, if you are interested, shout, and let me know what topic you would like best.

First (very rough) proposal about a schedule. Basically 1 Nokia driven day and 2 community driven days:

* Friday 9: Schedule coordinated by Peter @ Maemo Devices and contains all the sessions originated by Nokia in relation to Maemo 5 and Harmattan. Some keynotes and perhaps some simultaneous track sessions tbd. Audience: Maemo engaged users and developers, also open to newcomers. Friday night PARTY coordinated by Jussi @ Maemo Devices.

* Saturday 10: Community driven agenda TBD

* Sunday 11: Community driven agenda TBD

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.
