Maemo Summit 2009/Accommodation

2009-10-02T10:49:07Z

194.121.90.163: /* Shared Room Allocations */

We should offer people a range of accommodation options, from low-cost youth hostel beds to cheap hotels. Encourage people to stay close together.

== Checklist ==

* Draft recommended hotel & hostel list
** [http://www.hostelworld.com HostelWorld]: a reliable website where you can find cheap hostel. You can see on the map where they're placed so you can choose one close to the Summit.
**[http://www.ibishotel.com/gb/hotel-1556-ibis-amsterdam-centre/index.shtml Ibis Amsterdam Center Hotel]: for the sponsored participants and the big bunch of people happy with a price of ~146 €/night inc breakfast for a double room with twin beds (may be cheaper for single room).
**[http://www.westcordhotels.nl/hotels/Art-Hotel-Amsterdam**** Art Hotel Amsterdam]: recommended to those more interested in a 4 star hotel.
**[http://www.ibishotel.com/gb/hotel-5140-ibis-amsterdam-city-west/index.shtml Ibis Amsterdam City West Hotel]: A cheaper option, but further out. Price around 65€/night for a double room. I ordered via accorhotels.com and got the price 69/59/59 € for 3 nights starting at Thursday ([http://wiki.maemo.org/User:Asys3 asys3])

* Block book and/or obtain group rates
** Requires visiting hotel, asking for accommodation manager, and negotiating a group price.
** Sell the conference as important, high visibility, and argue that being a recommended hotel being a benefit for the hotel

* Put hotel list online
* Book hotel rooms pre-paid for sponsored attendees, maybe?

== Shared Room Allocations ==

* '''If you would like to share a double room with someone, please add your name to the table below.'''
* There are 29 rooms for 80 sponsored attendees. '''''Please do not alter.'''''
* If you find yourself rooming with someone whose not your best choice, just remove yourself from the room and add it somewhere else. '''''No hurt feelings please. This will all work out.'''''

== Proposals for Fremantle Stars ==
Nokia wants to support application developers having third party software ready for prime time by the day Maemo 5 is released. The first action is to select few projects to be supported since the day the first Fremantle SDK is released.

If your project hasn't been selected do not surrender. More actions will come with the beta SDK.

Above you have the applications that were proposd by the community. Nokia picked the projects to be supported from that list.

See also the [[Task:Remarkable_community_projects]] and [[Killer_Apps]].

=== Release quality ===

* [http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/mauku/ Mauku]: The micro-blogging client for Maemo devices
: Mauku was proposed earlier by someone, but was not available in Extras that time. Now it is, and thus, Mauku fulfills all requirements listed above.
* [http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/maemopadplus/ Maemopad+]: pressure-sensitive sketching, available in Extras, now in development again with focus on fixing Usability issues and finger-friendliness
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/maemo-mapper Maemo Mapper] [[Image:Star.png]]: Most downloaded application for Maemo. Best map application. Can interact with lots of different mapping sites, including OpenStreetmap.
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/numptyphysics Numpty Physics] [[Image:Star.png]]: This game is educational, hard, fun. Made for the stylus.
: Any ideas for features making the most from an Internet connection? Adding (optionally) the online dimension would be phantastic.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
:: High scores, level/content download, maybe co-op gameplay. —[[User:generalantilles|GeneralAntilles]] 08:48, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
: I've started working on online aspect for NP including level download and submission, demo recording and upload etc though obviously the amount of work to get this up and running, especially on the web side, is not insignificant. Need more levels too. In short, an injection of manpower could get NP polished and shiny but I personally am very short on spare time these days. —[[User:tim_edmonds|Tim]] 08:48, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
* [http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/scummvm/ ScummVM]: Point-and-click adventures are great for touchscreens, some free-as-in-beer games are available (Beneath a Steel Sky, etc..)
: This is an enabler. A user can't do much twith this alone. What about proposing a specific game (or set of games) using ScummVM? --[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
:: As mentioned above, Beneath a Steel Sky, Flight of the Amazon Queen, etc. —[[User:generalantilles|GeneralAntilles]] 08:50, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
::: The problem with those is that they don't fit well onto device rootfs. Much better would be a Hildonized ScummVM "Content frontend" that would depend from ScummVM, list freely available games/gamedemos (with screenshot etc) and allow user to to launch them with ScummVM. If the game/demo isn't yet in the device, the frontend would first automatically download the required files from the net to a external/internal memory card + setup them for ScummVM. Similar thing would be useful also for other things that have large data sets (like Wesnoth). [Eero Tamminen, 2009-06-11]
* [http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/gpodder/ gPodder]: Finger-friendly UI, highlights the Internet aspect of the tablets (download podcasts); regular releases, many Maemo-specific UI changes; performance issues are worked on; tablet-related podcasts exist (example: [http://www.talkshoe.com/talkshoe/web/talkCast.jsp?masterId=27204&cmd=tc]) - downloading podcasts directly on the mobile device is a thing that you can with Nokia's tablets and gPodder, but not with iPhone/iPod touch right now
: Needs a much better list of podcasts, possibly the list that the N95 podcast application uses if formats are compatible. I've also had issues with gpodder leaking memory, and making my N810 slow down.--[[User:alan_peery|alan_peery]] 18:09, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/xournal Xournal] [[Image:Star.png]]: A great notes/sketch utility. One of ''few'' apps that utilize the pressure sensitivity of the screen! Invaluable to create and annotate PDF documents on a pocket computer.
* [http://www.pimlico-project.org/index.html Pimlico]: PIM applications
* [http://clay.ll.pl/osmo Osmo]: PIM solution supporting open standards (SyncML, iCal)
* [http://tarot.freeshell.org/leafpad/ Leafpad]: for notes taking (and script programming)
: Too geeky for this call. --[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
* [http://www.gnome.org/projects/gnumeric/ Gnumeric]: spreadsheet application
: Impressing users with a spreadheet editor? Don't get me wrong, I see the usefulness of the application but we are looking for more shiny things in this call.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
* [http://www.abisource.com/ Abiword]: document editor
: Any thoughts on adding the real time collaborative editing feature? Still, perhaps this is another tool clearly useful but not really impressive for desktop users - nor seems to be taking many advantages of the Maemo 5 features.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
:: Perhaps it lacks glitz, but it seems to me that an Office-compatible text editor might mean quite a bit to a lot of users (heck, a decent word processor of ''any'' sort is likely to make a lot of people happy). —[[User:generalantilles|GeneralAntilles]] 08:52, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
* [http://pidgin.garage.maemo.org/ Pidgin]: for instant messaging
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/748 Greasemonkey] support?
: Another enabler. It would be better to have an impressing candidate based on Greasemonkey. --[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
:: [http://browser-extras.garage.maemo.org/downloads_os2008.html browser-extras for OS2008]

: PyMaemo is great, but it says nothing per se to users. --[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/maemo-wordpy Maemo WordPy] [[Image:Star.png]]: Blogging software that hooks to WordPress and Blogger accounts, allows image uploads, post creating and editing, tagging. Especially notable for its finger-friendly menu.
* [http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/quiver/ quiver]: image viewer
* [http://www.fbreader.org/ FBReader]: e-book reader. Great functionality, but the UI is a bit clunky (file dialogs are not Hildonized, preferences dialogs are overwhelmingly complicated, there's no smooth touch scrolling).
: Will need at least one book included, and preferably a link to where to download more. My recommendation for the latter is manybooks.net, where many of the Gutenberg Project books have been reformatted. --[[User:alan_peery|alan_peery]] 18:05, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
* [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Fennec Fennec]: Mozilla Firefox-based browser made specifically for mobile devices & touch screens. Currently (23 oct 2008) in Alpha phase.
* [http://www.v7f.eu/public/n800/chess/ Eboard and crafty chess engine] port of the [http://www.bergo.eng.br/eboard/ eboard] chess program. Main goal is playing on [http://www.freechess.org fics] or other online chess platforms against other human players. Analysis or games vs. engine are possible to. Can handle .pgn files and looks better than the chess "application" which is installed at the tablet after flashing the firmware.
* [http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/quickclip/ Quick Clip] A statusbar plugin that allows you to save text from any application (or input it directly) into categorized files; also comes with a fairly nifty viewer. Although relatively stable, still very much in active development.
*[http://garage.maemo.org/projects/bluemaemo/ BlueMaemo]: BlueMaemo is a remote controller program for the Maemo-powered devices. Accelerometer controls and a 3d/air mouse are planned for Fremantle.

=== Alpha/Beta quality ===
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/conboy/ conboy]: A port to Maemo of the Tomboy application, this personal wiki software is great for organizing notes, todos, etc.
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/osm2go/ osm2go]: This is a tool to '''create''' maps. It makes use of the hirez (touch) screen, a permanent internet connection for up- and download and the GPS of course. No such tool seems to exist for any other mobile plattform.
: Very interesting. Any way to make this a plugin of the very popular Maemo Mapper? Imagine that users would just use the maps, having the ability to go for an "editing mode" by pressing a key.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 08:14, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
::Sure, that's planned to happen soon. Currently not planned as a plugin (does MM support plugins?) but via dbus interaction to e.g. use the current Maemo-Mapper view as the area to work on. Pretty much like gpxview also interacts with Maemo-Mapper --[[User:harbaum|harbaum]] 12:50, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
::Done --[[User:harbaum|harbaum]] 22:50, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
::A freemantle release of osm2go could use the clutter canvas instead of goocanvas or gnomecanvas. This way it would immediately take advantage of the video accelerator.
*[http://garage.maemo.org/projects/maemo-barcode/ maemo-barcode]: Alpha quality, could be a very cool application with some integration and interface development.
: I've not used maemo-barcode but I see something like this could encompass much more than barcodes. From a hi-res picture you can also extract text and then cross reference it on google. Usually, even a short fragment of text can give a very specific match for example for article text, street signs, names numbers addresses etc, eg: similar to [http://exbiblio.com exbiblio]. Then you can log it and tag it with gps/cell-id and make it all searchable. Of course, this would require a high res camera that doesn't just point at your head. --[[User:tim_edmonds|Tim]]
*[http://garage.maemo.org/projects/liqbase liqbase]: Beta (now in extras) playground for sketching with kinetic graffiti with fullscreen tearfree refresh. finger friendly and FAST. shows off your tablet in the best light.
* Bring [http://garage.maemo.org/projects/gazpacho-maemo/ Gazpacho] back to life
: Developer tools are out of scope in this call.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
*[http://garage.maemo.org/projects/tear/ Tear]: Beta quality, a WebKit-based browser which aims for better tablet-oriented experience (and maybe cross-engine).
*[http://www.estamos.de/projects/SyncML/index.html syncevolution]: A very powerful application to synchronize the tablets with a SyncML Server. Actually working with the osso-addressbook and pimlico dates.
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/pwsafe/ PasswordSafe]: Password safe is a utility to keep a list of usernames and passwords encrypted with a single password by Peter Weston. Its file format is from Bruce Schneier's utility of the same name. the UI has been changed to a tree within a pannable area for Fremantle (that's why it's back to Beta in 1.5)

::: The problem with those is that they don't fit well onto device rootfs. Much better would be a Hildonized ScummVM "Content frontend" that would depend from ScummVM, list freely available games/gamedemos (with screenshot etc) and allow user to to launch them with ScummVM. If the game/demo isn't yet in the device, the frontend would first automatically download the required files from the net to a external/internal memory card + setup them for ScummVM. Similar thing would be useful also for other things that have large data sets (like Wesnoth). [Eero Tamminen, 2009-06-11]
* [http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/gpodder/ gPodder]: Finger-friendly UI, highlights the Internet aspect of the tablets (download podcasts); regular releases, many Maemo-specific UI changes; performance issues are worked on; tablet-related podcasts exist (example: [http://www.talkshoe.com/talkshoe/web/talkCast.jsp?masterId=27204&cmd=tc]) - downloading podcasts directly on the mobile device is a thing that you can with Nokia's tablets and gPodder, but not with iPhone/iPod touch right now
: Needs a much better list of podcasts, possibly the list that the N95 podcast application uses if formats are compatible. I've also had issues with gpodder leaking memory, and making my N810 slow down.--[[User:alan_peery|alan_peery]] 18:09, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/xournal Xournal] [[Image:Star.png]]: A great notes/sketch utility. One of ''few'' apps that utilize the pressure sensitivity of the screen! Invaluable to create and annotate PDF documents on a pocket computer.
* [http://www.pimlico-project.org/index.html Pimlico]: PIM applications
* [http://clay.ll.pl/osmo Osmo]: PIM solution supporting open standards (SyncML, iCal)
* [http://tarot.freeshell.org/leafpad/ Leafpad]: for notes taking (and script programming)
: Too geeky for this call. --[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
* [http://www.gnome.org/projects/gnumeric/ Gnumeric]: spreadsheet application
: Impressing users with a spreadheet editor? Don't get me wrong, I see the usefulness of the application but we are looking for more shiny things in this call.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
* [http://www.abisource.com/ Abiword]: document editor
: Any thoughts on adding the real time collaborative editing feature? Still, perhaps this is another tool clearly useful but not really impressive for desktop users - nor seems to be taking many advantages of the Maemo 5 features.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
:: Perhaps it lacks glitz, but it seems to me that an Office-compatible text editor might mean quite a bit to a lot of users (heck, a decent word processor of ''any'' sort is likely to make a lot of people happy). —[[User:generalantilles|GeneralAntilles]] 08:52, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
* [http://pidgin.garage.maemo.org/ Pidgin]: for instant messaging
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/748 Greasemonkey] support?
: Another enabler. It would be better to have an impressing candidate based on Greasemonkey. --[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

: PyMaemo is great, but it says nothing per se to users. --[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/maemo-wordpy Maemo WordPy] [[Image:Star.png]]: Blogging software that hooks to WordPress and Blogger accounts, allows image uploads, post creating and editing, tagging. Especially notable for its finger-friendly menu.
* [http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/quiver/ quiver]: image viewer
* [http://www.fbreader.org/ FBReader]: e-book reader. Great functionality, but the UI is a bit clunky (file dialogs are not Hildonized, preferences dialogs are overwhelmingly complicated, there's no smooth touch scrolling).
: Will need at least one book included, and preferably a link to where to download more. My recommendation for the latter is manybooks.net, where many of the Gutenberg Project books have been reformatted. --[[User:alan_peery|alan_peery]] 18:05, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
* [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Fennec Fennec]: Mozilla Firefox-based browser made specifically for mobile devices & touch screens. Currently (23 oct 2008) in Alpha phase.
* [http://www.v7f.eu/public/n800/chess/ Eboard and crafty chess engine] port of the [http://www.bergo.eng.br/eboard/ eboard] chess program. Main goal is playing on [http://www.freechess.org fics] or other online chess platforms against other human players. Analysis or games vs. engine are possible to. Can handle .pgn files and looks better than the chess "application" which is installed at the tablet after flashing the firmware.
* [http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/quickclip/ Quick Clip] A statusbar plugin that allows you to save text from any application (or input it directly) into categorized files; also comes with a fairly nifty viewer. Although relatively stable, still very much in active development.
*[http://garage.maemo.org/projects/bluemaemo/ BlueMaemo]: BlueMaemo is a remote controller program for the Maemo-powered devices. Accelerometer controls and a 3d/air mouse are planned for Fremantle.

=== Alpha/Beta quality ===
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/conboy/ conboy]: A port to Maemo of the Tomboy application, this personal wiki software is great for organizing notes, todos, etc.
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/osm2go/ osm2go]: This is a tool to '''create''' maps. It makes use of the hirez (touch) screen, a permanent internet connection for up- and download and the GPS of course. No such tool seems to exist for any other mobile plattform.
: Very interesting. Any way to make this a plugin of the very popular Maemo Mapper? Imagine that users would just use the maps, having the ability to go for an "editing mode" by pressing a key.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 08:14, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
::Sure, that's planned to happen soon. Currently not planned as a plugin (does MM support plugins?) but via dbus interaction to e.g. use the current Maemo-Mapper view as the area to work on. Pretty much like gpxview also interacts with Maemo-Mapper --[[User:harbaum|harbaum]] 12:50, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
::Done --[[User:harbaum|harbaum]] 22:50, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
::A freemantle release of osm2go could use the clutter canvas instead of goocanvas or gnomecanvas. This way it would immediately take advantage of the video accelerator.
*[http://garage.maemo.org/projects/maemo-barcode/ maemo-barcode]: Alpha quality, could be a very cool application with some integration and interface development.
: I've not used maemo-barcode but I see something like this could encompass much more than barcodes. From a hi-res picture you can also extract text and then cross reference it on google. Usually, even a short fragment of text can give a very specific match for example for article text, street signs, names numbers addresses etc, eg: similar to [http://exbiblio.com exbiblio]. Then you can log it and tag it with gps/cell-id and make it all searchable. Of course, this would require a high res camera that doesn't just point at your head. --[[User:tim_edmonds|Tim]]
*[http://garage.maemo.org/projects/liqbase liqbase]: Beta (now in extras) playground for sketching with kinetic graffiti with fullscreen tearfree refresh. finger friendly and FAST. shows off your tablet in the best light.
* Bring [http://garage.maemo.org/projects/gazpacho-maemo/ Gazpacho] back to life
: Developer tools are out of scope in this call.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
*[http://garage.maemo.org/projects/tear/ Tear]: Beta quality, a WebKit-based browser which aims for better tablet-oriented experience (and maybe cross-engine).
*[http://www.estamos.de/projects/SyncML/index.html syncevolution]: A very powerful application to synchronize the tablets with a SyncML Server. Actually working with the osso-addressbook and pimlico dates.
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/pwsafe/ PasswordSafe]: Password safe is a utility to keep a list of usernames and passwords encrypted with a single password by Peter Weston. Its file format is from Bruce Schneier's utility of the same name. the UI has been changed to a tree within a pannable area for Fremantle (that's why it's back to Beta in 1.5)

Mozilla Maemo Danish Weekend

2009-05-28T07:25:53Z

194.121.90.163: /* Schedule */

'''Mozilla/Maemo Danish Weekend'''<br>
May 30-31 + Friday night party (29th).<br>
IT University of Copenhagen (see [http://tinyurl.com/DanishWeekendMap Google Map]/[http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=55.6596&mlon=12.5914&zoom=13 OpenStreetMap] & [http://www.cphx.dk/index.php?language=uk#/28761/ pictures] & [http://www.flickr.com/photos/28959625@N04/sets/72157617077958090/ more pictures])

[[Image:Picture_4_s.jpg]]

The Maemo and Mozilla projects are organizing a joint developer camp in Copenhagen the last weekend of May. If you are working on Fennec, Fennec add-ons or Maemo 5 applications this call is for you!

The meeting is open and free, although registration is needed for planning purposes. '''[http://events.mozilla-europe.org/event/?id=6 Register]''' - '''[[Mozilla_Maemo_Danish_Weekend/Participants|Who is coming]]''' - '''[[Mozilla_Maemo_Danish_Weekend/Travel|Arrivals/Travel]]'''.

== Focus areas ==

This hands-on developer meeting is all about getting software ready for end users. Both Fennec and Maemo 5 will be in beta stage and approaching their final releases. Code, test, fix, improve... and have fun!

* Fennec add-ons - We love [https://addons.mozilla.org/fennec/ Fennec add-ons]!
* Mozilla core development - common to [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Fennec Fennec] and the [http://browser.garage.maemo.org/ Maemo browser].
* Maemo applications - [http://maemo.org/news/announcements/0eb8fdfeedec11ddb28e1b3c4d7b308a308a/ Fremantle Stars] + [[GSoC_2009/Projects|GSoC projcts]] + other [[Task:Remarkable community projects|Maemo community projects]] willing to join.
* [[Mer]] - also known as the Maemo 5 community edition for the Nokia N810/N800/770 Internet Tablets. See more about Mer at this event [[Mozilla_Maemo_Danish_Weekend/Mer|here]]

== Spaces ==
* Main Hall equipped with tables, chairs and power cords. This is the default location, totally unscheduled, where developers hang around, chat and hack. (free!) Lunch and coffee will be offered here as well.
* Auditorium with capacity for 150 people. Big screen, beamer and good sound at your disposal for talks and demos.
* Three rooms with capacity of 40 people for BOFs, workshops, team meetings and any other loud activity. Equipped with projector and white board.
** Mozilla room.
** maemo.org room.
** Maemo/Nokia room - devoted to offer technical support using the SDK and other developer tools.

Everything under a thick and fast academic WiFi cloud you won't beat.

Some of these space are identified in a [http://www.flickr.com/photos/28959625@N04/sets/72157617077958090/detail/ set of pictures].

== Travel ==
See [[Mozilla_Maemo_Danish_Weekend/Travel|when people are arriving in and leaving Copenhagen]].

== Schedule ==
Taking shape as we speak. The idea is to have one stream of activities in the background with few or no overlaps. Developers are supposed to be in the Hall most of the time, attending to sessions where they are involved or find particularly interesting.

Starting point for the schedule:
* Hall: Doors open Saturday from 9:00 to 23:00 and Sunday from 9:00 to 18:00.
* Auditorium
** Joint Mozilla/Maemo opening & closing sessions
** One Mozilla track (see http://wiki.maemo.org/MozillaMaemoDanishWeekend/MozillaTopics)
** Battery of 15' maemo.org presentations and demos of Fremantle Stars, GSoC projects and other remarkable Maemo projects: <list yourself here and we will sort you out>.
*** OSM2Go presentation/demo on beagleboard running fremantle alpha
*** 25' Mer presentation on "Mer: Reconstructing Maemo" by Carsten V. Munk
*** 25' Mer presentation on "Building Mer with OpenSUSE Build Service" by David Greaves
*** <Probably worth to pack all the Canola related subprojects in one session, tbd by the project>
** 2h track introduction to Maemo development: SDK, SDK+, developer tools, Hildon/GTK+, Qt, Python, OpenGL ES, Clutter...
* Mozilla room. Project meetings tbd.
* maemo.org room. Projects meetings tbd. <pick a slot here suggesting a duration 30-120'>
** 45' Mer project meeting: How do we get Mer to 1.0?
** 30' Mer project meeting: Mer after 1.0
** 45' Mer/Maemo project meeting: Hands on with OBS / Getting your hands dirty with Mer
* Maemo/Nokia room. Probably no scheduled activities. Go there to meet the Development Platform team and get technical support.

Some developer competition will be run during the Danish Weekend with a nice prize and applause at the end.

== Accommodation ==

=== Hotel Cabinn Scandinavia ===

We have booked 40 rooms (single or shared) at the [http://www.cabinn.com/english/kbh/scandinavia/sca.html Hotel Cabinn Scandinavia]. The rate is 75 EUR per night (including breakfast) which is very very decent for Copenhagen. The hotel is 2 minutes walk from the metro station going to the venue and has free Internet connection. The metro runs all night, so there's no need to take a taxi after late night coding.

The sponsored participants are hosted in this hotel. Other participants are encouraged to book here your rooms as well. There is an [[Mozilla Maemo Danish Weekend/Accommodation|Accommodation wiki page]] where you can see how the rooms are organized.

If you get the notice of fully booked, there are [http://www.cabinn.com/english/kbh/kbh.html more Cabinn hotels] in Copenhagen ([http://www.cabinn.com/english/kbh/express/kort/kort.html see map]).

=== Sleep in Heaven ===

* For the budget traveler who doesn't mind sleeping in dorm beds in shared rooms.
* Sleep in Heaven is a youth hostel and you have to be between 16 and 35 years old to stay there.
* [http://www.sleepinheaven.com/ Homepage], price range is from 17.47 EUR per night (rated by number of beds in room) (+ 5.5 for bedlinen and 5.5 for breakfast)
* Features: Free wifi, free locker, booking online in advance, etc.
* Roughly 27 minutes by public transport from the venue to the hostel. Metro (M1, M2) nearby venue will put you within 1km distance of the hostel.
* Address: Struenseegade 7, 2200 København N

== Sponsorship ==

We have some budget to support travel and accommodation expenses of key developers able to make a difference in the Danish Weekend.

Selection criteria:

* Developers of Fennec add-ons, Fremantle Stars and the Mer project. Link to your projects and get references from lead developers.
* Developers of cool software for average users available in [http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/fremantle/free/ Fremantle Extras-devel].
* Other key Maemo contributors with [http://maemo.org/profile/list/ high karma] and a concrete development plan for the weekend.

[http://maemo.org/news/events/registrations/event/view/8352ee2c242e11de8f60a7c7088bfc14fc14/ Apply for sponsorship]. Sooner is better.

*Bootmenu does not play well with clone-to-SD systems. You will have to make a bootmenu item yourself (ask on #maemo about this) (someone document how to make an .item)
*Sometimes after updates the touchscreen of the tables stop working or isn't calibrated, this is because the 'xserver-xorg-input-synaptics' package are installed, to fix it do "sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-input-synaptics" in a terminal.
*X driver for omapfb does not use Manual updates yet and hence can be a bit slow in updating the screen which may give the impression the system is slow.
*Rotation in advanced-backlight kills the X server
*Duplicate application menu happens
*WiFi dies on N8x0 after sleep / idling
*No charging screen on flashable image
*No battery meter yet on tablets.
*No sound on tablets.

Disclaimer:

* '''There is -no- warranty'''. This may blow up your MMC, steal your wife or cause doomsday to come around. But if you find some bugs, please report them on [https://bugs.maemo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Mer bugs.maemo.org] and we'll try to see what we can do to fix the bug causing it.
* If anything goes wrong, grab a USB cable, and rescue mode is done through holding down Home key when booting Mer (on tablets)

Guide:

* Open the main menu and tap Utilities -> Install Bootmenu to start the bootmenu install process.
* First, say yes to removing "unneeded extra (and factory testing) stuff"
* say yes to including bootmenu.conf (important). Reboot when done flashing.
* This is a special boot menu where boot menu items are made in /etc/bootmenu.d/*.item and refresh_bootmenu.d will flash this to initfs. '''If you are cloning or booting other OS'es, you'll need to make such .item files''']
* Utilities -> Install Mer and go through the dialogs. The installer will always install the most current release. When done it will reboot and you can hold down menu/swap key and boot into Mer.

To flash: flasher-3.0-static -k mer-armel-n8x0-kernel-v0.9.zImage -r mer-armel-n8x0-image-v0.9.jffs2 -f -R

You might want a MMC card swap partition.

=== Nokia 770 - tar.gz image ===

* [http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/mer/0.9/mer-armel-770-image-v0.9.tar.gz Nokia 770 tar.gz rootfs image]

==== Guide ====

(these instructions need testing)

You will need at least a 1gb MMC, and these instructions are based on OS2008HE kernel. 48mhz kernel is highly recommended

Partition MMC to:

*p1: Large ext3 partition first
*p2: 256 MB swap partition second

Grab http://packages.tspre.org/pool/user/b/bootmenu/bootmenu_1.5-2_armel.deb and install it.

* Open the main menu and tap Utilities -> Install Bootmenu to start the bootmenu install process.
* First, say yes to removing "unneeded extra (and factory testing) stuff"
* say yes to including bootmenu.conf (important). Reboot when done flashing.
* This is a special boot menu where boot menu items are made in /etc/bootmenu.d/*.item and refresh_bootmenu.d will flash this to initfs. '''If you are cloning or booting other OS'es, you'll need to make such .item files'''

Grab e2fsprogs and install it - grab gnutar as well

*From x-terminal, root: insmod /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/current/mbcache.ko
*insmod /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/current/jbd.ko
*insmod /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/current/ext3.ko
*mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p1
*mkswap /dev/mmcblk0p2
*swapon /dev/mmcblk0p2
*mkdir -p /mnt/mer
*mkdir -p /etc/bootmenu.d
*mount -t ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/mer
*cd /mnt/mer; wget http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/mer/0.9/mer-armel-770-image-v0.9.tar.gz
*tar pzxvf mer-armel-770-image-v0.9.tar.gz
*rm mer-armel-770-image-v0.9.tar.gz
*umount /mnt/mer
*Make /etc/bootmenu.d/mer.item with the following contents:

<pre>
ITEM_NAME="Mer"
ITEM_ID="mer"
ITEM_DEVICE="mmcblk0p1"
ITEM_MODULES="mbcache jbd ext3"
ITEM_FSTYPE="ext3"
ITEM_FSOPTIONS="noatime,ro"
ITEM_LINUXRC="linuxrc"
</pre>
*refresh_bootmenu.d (say yes to reflashing, no to backup of initfs. reboot)
*Hold down Menu key when prompted while booting and select Mer in the boot menu.

=== BeagleBoard port ===

* [http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/mer/0.9/mer-armel-beagleboard-bootfs-v0.9.tar.gz Boot filesystem], contains uImage (kernel packaged for uboot), for latest uboot.
* [http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/mer/0.9/mer-armel-beagleboard-rootfs-v0.9.tar.gz Root filesystem]

==== Guide ====

* Make sure you are running a RECENT uBoot, and you have USB input devices like keyboard or mouse, if you don't own a touchscreen..
* Make a SD card, partitioned with 50mb FAT as first partition, extract boot fs on this, and the rest Linux partition, format this as ext3, and extract rootfs on this.
* In uBoot, use the following commands (you may have to adjust video= parameter to match your display screen:

'''Note: The format of the video bootargs parameter has changed for the new 2.6.28 kernel in 0.9. You'll likely have to update the bootargs line.'''

<pre>
setenv bootcmd 'mmcinit; fatload mmc 0:1 0x80300000 uImage; bootm 0x80300000'
setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS2,115200n8 console=tty0 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootfstype=ext3 rootwait omapfb.video_mode=1024x768MR16@60'
saveenv
boot
</pre>

* The tablet should output kernel output on serial and on video, and on HDMI out it will eventually start X and show the First Boot Wizard. Good luck.

=== Pocket Loox 720 port (experimental) ===

* [http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/mer/0.8/mer-armel-pocketloox720-kernel-v0.8.zImage zImage]
* [http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/mer/0.9/mer-armel-pocketloox720-v0.9.tar.gz rootfs]

==== Guide ====

* Set up a SD card with a logical partition, and inside this logical partition, make a 50mb or so FAT partition (p5), and put the zImage file on this filesystem, name it zImage. After the logical partition, make a ext3 partition (p2), and untar rootfs on it.
* Grab [http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/HaRET HaRET] and put it on the FAT partition, HaRET.exe.
* Make a file, startup.txt, with the following contents:

<pre>
set kernel "zImage"
set mtype "617"
set RAMADDR "0xa8000000"
set cmdline "mem=128M rootdelay=1 root=b302 rw console=tty0"
boot
</pre>

* Unmount all filesystems, insert SD card into Pocket Loox, boot by running HaReT.exe
* Experimental release, if you want to play with this - come hang out on #mer on irc.freenode.net and we'll try to guide you along. It is a 640x480 screen so our theme won't fit.

*qwerty12: autodetection of Nokia keyboards, maemo-xkb-plugin
*Stskeeps: 770 wifi working out of the box, work on Xomap on Mer, upgraded GTK version, improving flashable Mer images boot on N8x0

== Known issues ==

{{#bugzilla:id=4148,4111,4102,4101,4062,4093
|columns=id,severity,product,status,resolution,summary,to
}}

*Bootmenu does not play well with clone-to-SD systems. You will have to make a bootmenu item yourself (ask on #maemo about this) (someone document how to make an .item)
*Sometimes after updates the touchscreen of the tables stop working or isn't calibrated, this is because the 'xserver-xorg-input-synaptics' package are installed, to fix it do "sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-input-synaptics" in a terminal.
*X driver for omapfb does not use Manual updates yet and hence can be a bit slow in updating the screen which may give the impression the system is slow.
*Rotation in advanced-backlight kills the X server
*Duplicate application menu happens
*WiFi dies on N8x0 after sleep / idling
*No charging screen on flashable image
*No battery meter yet on tablets.
*No sound on tablets.

== Released files and guides ==

Disclaimer:

* '''There is -no- warranty'''. This may blow up your MMC, steal your wife or cause doomsday to come around. But if you find some bugs, please report them on [https://bugs.maemo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Mer bugs.maemo.org] and we'll try to see what we can do to fix the bug causing it.
* If anything goes wrong, grab a USB cable, and rescue mode is done through holding down Home key when booting Mer (on tablets)

*Bootmenu does not play well with clone-to-SD systems. You will have to make a bootmenu item yourself (ask on #maemo about this) (someone document how to make an .item)
*Sometimes after updates the touchscreen of the tables stop working or isn't calibrated, this is because the 'xserver-xorg-input-synaptics' package are installed, to fix it do "sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-input-synaptics" in a terminal.
*X driver for omapfb does not use Manual updates yet and hence can be a bit slow in updating the screen which may give the impression the system is slow.
*Rotation in advanced-backlight kills the X server
*Duplicate application menu happens
*WiFi dies on N8x0 after sleep / idling
*No charging screen on flashable image
*No battery meter yet on tablets.
*No sound on tablets.

(these instructions need testing)

You will need at least a 1gb MMC, and these instructions are based on OS2008HE kernel. 48mhz kernel is highly recommended

Partition MMC to:

*p1: Large ext3 partition first
*p2: 256 MB swap partition second

Grab http://packages.tspre.org/pool/user/b/bootmenu/bootmenu_1.5-2_armel.deb and install it.

* Open the main menu and tap Utilities -> Install Bootmenu to start the bootmenu install process.
* First, say yes to removing "unneeded extra (and factory testing) stuff"
* say yes to including bootmenu.conf (important). Reboot when done flashing.
* This is a special boot menu where boot menu items are made in /etc/bootmenu.d/*.item and refresh_bootmenu.d will flash this to initfs. '''If you are cloning or booting other OS'es, you'll need to make such .item files'''

Grab e2fsprogs and install it - grab gnutar as well

*From x-terminal, root: insmod /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/current/mbcache.ko
*insmod /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/current/jbd.ko

*tar pzxvf mer-armel-770-image-v0.9.tar.gz
*rm mer-armel-770-image-v0.9.tar.gz
*umount /mnt/mer
*Make /etc/bootmenu.d/mer.item with the following contents:

<pre>
ITEM_NAME="Mer"
ITEM_ID="mer"
ITEM_DEVICE="mmcblk0p1"
ITEM_MODULES="mbcache jbd ext3"
ITEM_FSTYPE="ext3"
ITEM_FSOPTIONS="noatime,ro"
ITEM_LINUXRC="linuxrc"
</pre>
*refresh_bootmenu.d (say yes to reflashing, no to backup of initfs. reboot)
*Hold down Menu key when prompted while booting and select Mer in the boot menu.

=== BeagleBoard port ===

* [http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/mer/0.9/mer-armel-beagleboard-bootfs-v0.9.tar.gz Boot filesystem], contains uImage (kernel packaged for uboot), for latest uboot.
* [http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/mer/0.9/mer-armel-beagleboard-rootfs-v0.9.tar.gz Root filesystem]

==== Guide ====

* Make sure you are running a RECENT uBoot, and you have USB input devices like keyboard or mouse, if you don't own a touchscreen..
* Make a SD card, partitioned with 50mb FAT as first partition, extract boot fs on this, and the rest Linux partition, format this as ext3, and extract rootfs on this.
* In uBoot, use the following commands (you may have to adjust video= parameter to match your display screen:

'''Node: The format of the video bootargs parameter has changed for the new 2.6.28 kernel in 0.9. You'll likely
have to update the bootargs line.'''

<pre>
setenv bootcmd 'mmcinit; fatload mmc 0:1 0x80300000 uImage; bootm 0x80300000'
setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS2,115200n8 console=tty0 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootfstype=ext3 rootwait omapfb.video_mode=1024x768MR16@60'saveenv
boot
</pre>

* The tablet should output kernel output on serial and on video, and on HDMI out it will eventually start X and show the First Boot Wizard. Good luck.

=== Pocket Loox 720 port (experimental) ===

* [http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/mer/0.8/mer-armel-pocketloox720-kernel-v0.8.zImage zImage]
* [http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/mer/0.9/mer-armel-pocketloox720-v0.9.tar.gz rootfs]

==== Guide ====

* Set up a SD card with a logical partition, and inside this logical partition, make a 50mb or so FAT partition (p5), and put the zImage file on this filesystem, name it zImage. After the logical partition, make a ext3 partition (p2), and untar rootfs on it.
* Grab [http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/HaRET HaRET] and put it on the FAT partition, HaRET.exe.
* Make a file, startup.txt, with the following contents:

<pre>
set kernel "zImage"
set mtype "617"
set RAMADDR "0xa8000000"
set cmdline "mem=128M rootdelay=1 root=b302 rw console=tty0"
boot
</pre>

* Unmount all filesystems, insert SD card into Pocket Loox, boot by running HaReT.exe
* Experimental release, if you want to play with this - come hang out on #mer on irc.freenode.net and we'll try to guide you along. It is a 640x480 screen so our theme won't fit.

Task:Improving the Application manager

2009-02-03T06:57:55Z

194.121.90.163: /* Description */

[[Image:Application manager icon.png|left]]As one of the foremost applications in a new user's experience of Maemo, Application manager needs to be one of the platform's best (perhaps only surpassed by the browser and email client). As it stands, though, it is still in need of improvement in a lot of areas. Some of these improvements are small changes (like allowing the repository list to be refreshed from the main view), and some of them are quite large (like the category view overhaul), but the end result should be a much better and more usable Application manager.

== Goals for Fremantle ==

Until we get more specifics on the new UI for Fremantle, let's set out some general features we'd like to see implemented.

[[Image:Tag-search-mockup.png|thumb|250px|Mock-up of a search]]
=== Tracker and debtags ===

Tracker being included in Fremantle offers some interesting opportunities to use metadata. debtags were proposed as a potential solution to the [[Task:Package_categories|package categories]] issue, but they likely offer more potential by providing metadata to be indexed for searching with Tracker. Say I'm looking to find a web browser. Normally, I'd either know the list of available browsers for Maemo, know which one I wanted and go straight for it, or I'd tap on the "Internet & Network" and find them there. Unfortunately, things like Boingo, email clients, ftp clients and ssh are also going to be in that list, and picking names like "MicroB", "Fennec" or "Tear" out as web browsers without looking at the descriptions is impossible. With Tracker (and usefully complete and accurate tagging), I can simply type "web browser" into a search field to pull up a list of browsers.

[[Image:Rating-view-mockup.png|thumb|left|250px|Mock-up of the package view with ratings]]
=== Integrations with Downloads ===

[http://downloads.maemo.org Downloads] offers a great place to get more detailed information about packages (including detailed descriptions, change logs, and screenshots), and to comment and provide feedback. Users should be able to enter their maemo.org credentials into the Application Manager, then comment on and rate packages directly from the it. This will both increase the amount of feedback received by packages in Downloads and increase the amount of data available to users browsing for packages.

Data from Downloads should be used to provide "Fresh", "Popular", and "Highest rated" lists on the main view.

[[Image:Application-view-mockup.png|thumb|250px|Mock-up of the application view]]
=== Revised application info panel ===

The package info dialog is too limited in the current Application Manager, a fullscreen view should be added that includes several tabs containing a description, screenshots, comments and ratings, as well as maintainer, section, repository, version, size, and dependency information.

=== Find as you type ===

Most modern operating systems support find as you type. When presented with a list of items, a user can begin typing the name of the item they want and it will jump right to it. This wasn't feasible in Maemo before the N810's hardware keyboard, but with the hardware keyboard it's something that many users expect.

== Main view ==
The main view is a user's portal to Maemo software, it's largely fine right now, but not very interesting. It needs a way to draw in new users and get them interested in the software available to them.

[[Image:Main-view-mockup.png|thumb|250px|Mock-up of the main view]]
=== New buttons ===
One way to make the view more interesting is to add a few buttons over on the right hand side (where the big Application manager icon is right now). Something like, Featured applications (taken from Downloads), Popular applications (also from Downloads), and New applications (since last repository refresh, or maybe new in the last week—the specifics of this one will need consideration). As most of the Featured and Popular applications will reside in Extras (and Extras ships disabled), this would serve as a nice way to introduce new users to Extras by offering to enable it for them when they go to install an application from these lists.
:* [https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3279 Bug #3279] - Streamlining user access to the Extras repository

=== Button bar ===
The button bar is another small problem with the main view. Right now, all the icons are grayed out and useless. At the very least, the repository refresh button should be enabled here. The search button could be enabled to perform a global search (with filters for available/installed applications), the install button could be replaced with the repository list, and the info button could show the logs.

== Category view ==
The category view is really the worst part of Application manager right now. It's so bad, in fact, that there really isn't much point in browsing under anything but "All". This is a combination of two issues, the poor state of Maemo packaging consistency, and a straight-up badly put together category view. The packaging issue is separate from Application manager, and will hopefully be addressed somewhat by the new packaging guidelines.

[[Image:Application manager grid-view mockup.jpg|thumb|250px|Mock-up of the grid-view]]
=== Grid view ===
The current category view has an awful lot of wasted whitespace. My initial reaction here was that a grid view in place of a the current list-view would make better use of space and improve the thumb-ability (ordering is badly messed-up in my mock-up—it should be left-to-right rather than top-to-bottom). The number of packages in each category should be noted parenthetically next to the category name (shown in the tree-view mock-up).

This view does have a few downfalls, though. It doesn't make it easy to see what's in any particular category, so if you're searching for something or just browsing around, you will be jumping between the category view and application list view quite a bit. Which is expensive in taps and rendering. Also, longer category names may cause rendering issues ('''Communications''' becoming '''Communicat...''' is just plain bad).

[[Image:Application manager tree-view mockup.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Mock-up of the tree-view]]
=== Tree view ===
The grid-view is probably the most straightforward and immediate solution, but some extra options wouldn't hurt. Some sort of tree view (while mildly ungainly with such limited screen real estate) could give a nice overview alternative to "All" while reducing the number of screens the user needs to scroll through. Show all the categories as collapsible branches, and indicate the number of packages in each category parenthetically next to the category name. The user can collapse or expand a branch by tapping on the category name, or using the dpad up/down to scroll to the desired category and the left/right to collapse or expand it.

[[Image:Application manager column-view mockup.jpg|thumb|250px|Mock-up of the column-view]]
=== Column view ===
Finally a column view could be another useful alternative for reducing the number of screens to tap through and provide a better overview. Put a column of categories on the left (again, with the number of packages in each category indicated parenthetically) and display the packages in that category in the right column. Basically, the same behavior as the File manager.

Each of these views has their own advantages and disadvantages, as such, a single view shouldn't be picked at the exclusion of all others, rather, all views could be implemented and a switch (either in the menu, or on the button bar, and perhaps as shortcuts for N810 users) added to toggle between them depending on user-preference on use-case.

== Application list ==
The application list is where most of the user's time will be spent—browsing and installing/removing/updating applications and packages—and is arguably the most important area of the Application manager. As it stands, most of what's wrong with the application list is either technical (e.g., the irritating list refresh) or related to the various dialogs related to the list (e.g., the info dialog), and the basic UI of the application list is really quite fine.
* Change to Modest's nice, big, thumbable scroll bars. Another option would be to do away with scroll bars and have kinetic thumb-scrolling.
* Columns should be sortable by tapping their names, as well as from the menu. It should also be possible to resize them.
* List refresh needs to be somehow sped up on completely eliminated. This is much better in Diablo, as it doesn't refresh whenever you look at it funny, but still a problem.
** Destroying and redrawing the list is annoying, even if it does now remember your current location. I'd prefer individual rows to be removed (need to see how slow this would be).
* Pressing a key (N810) should jump the list to the first item named with that letter (e.g. press "v" jumps/scrolls the list to the first package called "v.....")
* We should look at the possibility of allow multiple install/removes. I.e. we could create a "Mark for Installation" button on the highlighted row, then use the "Install" button in the toolbar as "Install Marked Packages". Likewise for removing packages. This would save quite a lot of time for people who want to install/remove more than one thing.
* If there are problems with the installation (e.g. unmet dependencies), visually indicate it instead of letting the user attempt only to be told he can't two dialogs later. Have a validate button if this will take time to figure out.
* If the package is not going to be backed up (e.g. non-user in red-pill), or might involve other differences from how a normal user package is installed and metadata stored, indicate that on this screen or the install ok/cancel dialog.
* (Install/Upgrade) Have a way of downloading the debs to the memory card and don't delete them when cleaning (for restore purposes, e.g. reflash to avoid downloading everything again).
* (Install/Upgrade) For batch upgrades or installs, have a "continue on any error" option instead of having to say continue on every package. Perhaps have something to indicate it will prompt and install all non-prompting first.

=== Info dialog ===
What the information dialog suffers from is a bad case of the scrollies. Practically every tab for almost every package presents the user with a horizontal scroll bar. This should really never happen for a native widget.

Or of both of these things will reduce the occurrence of the horizontal scroll bar:
* The horizontal width of the info dialog should be expanded slightly to contain more information (there is a lot of additional room available in fullscreen).
* The information being displayed should be intelligently soft-wrapped and/or slightly reformatted to fit into the dialog.

[[Image:Application manager summary mock-up.png|thumb|250px|Mock-up of the summary tab]]
==== Summary ====
The summary tab is mostly OK. Adding a "Repository" item to indicate which repository a package is in would be useful (especially for identifying Extras and Extras-devel packages). The largest problem is the short description that doesn't get soft-wrapped. Soft-wrapping this description would eliminate the horizontal scrolling in most cases for the summary tab.

[[Image:Application manager description mock-up.png|thumb|left|250px|Mock-up of the description tab]]
==== Description ====
The description field also needs soft-wrapping to make some descriptions fit. The problem here is that many descriptions are already hard-wrapped, which might result in ugly half-soft/half-hard–wrapped text. Some simple de-wrapping (e.g. just removing all newlines that aren't followed by a blank line) may already result in a pleasing line wrap. This may need to be addressed [https://maemo.org/forrest-images/pdf/maemo-policy.pdf packaging-side].

[[Image:Application manager installing mock-up.png|thumb|250px|Mock-up of the installing tab]]

==== Installing/Uninstalling/Upgrading/Problems ====
This tab is a particularly bad offender, as the content is a known value—we know the type of information that appears here and we can predict how it will be formatted. The first and simplest solution is to take all of the packages under each heading and aligned them with the left side of the dialog. Most of the problems crop up from having such a huge amount of whitespace to the left of the package lists, so bringing these lists down a line and over to the left would eliminate a lot of horizontal scrolling. The headings (e.g., "Application packages missing:") will need to be offset from the text somehow, too.

{{Template:100Days agenda}}
{{task|proposed}}

''This is a subtask of [[Task:Defining maemo]] and is looking for volunteers''

There are hundreds of community projects around Maemo, but some are especially remarkable, providing a unique contribution to the project.

Getting a list of these projects would help to
* Improve their quality and promote them as ''ready to primetime''.
* Highlight to externals some of the amazing stuff the Maemo platform can offer.
* Bring attention, testing, contributions, new users to them.
* Indicate to Nokia what is really worth promoting in their Maemo related activities.
* Cheer up the ego of promoters and contributors. :)

==Criteria==
Propose criteria to select projects.
* '''Alive''': Maintained regularly and available in the last stable release.
* '''Open''': community feedback and contributions are part of the project - open source is a very good factor but not a must.

* '''Finger/thumb UI''': stylus to be required only in exceptional and evident cases (e.g. drawing apps).
* '''Decent design''': visually attractive and/or simple interface that works just as expected.
* '''maemo.org active''': available in extras, complete information page in Downloads.
* '''Non commercial''': Not developed by Nokia or commercial partners.

==New Proposals==
List your proposals below. Add your comments supporting/against. Provide links to their pages at http://maemo.org/downloads to get more information, see screenshots and try them out.
* List your proposal here.

==Candidates==
'''Please do not list new proposals directly here'''. These are projects that accomplish most of the criteria above. They be available in the Maemo 4.1 extras repository and offer a Download page in maemo.org.

===Outstanding utilities===
Remarkable projects successful in a focused mission.
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/load-applet/ Load Applet]: Because being able to see when/why the system becomes slow makes a huge difference in user experience.
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/statusbarclock/ Large StatusBar Clock]: A configurable digital clock for the statusbar.
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/maemopadplus MaemoPad+] : Tree-based notes and sketching application
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/maemo-recorder Maemo Recorder] : Turn your N8X0 into a dictaphone. Very useful.
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/mirage/ Mirage]: Opens many file formats; allows for simple photo editing on the tablet.
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/mogg/ mogg]: Although not as ideal a solution as DSP-side decoding, the best we've got at the moment.
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/omweather/ OMWeather]: Critical app. When this didn't work for a whole day after the Diablo release, I had to look outside!
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/phonelink PhoneLink]: Send SMS using GPE Contacts and a bluetooth-enable mobile phone.
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/personal-menu/ Personal Menu]: Sidebar plugin, customizable menu for launching up to 36 installed applications or arbitrary commands.

*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/usbcontrol/ USB Control]: Take advantage of USB keyboards & drives (drives require a separate power source) w/Nokia cable & adapter.
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/xournal Xournal] : A great notes/sketch utility. One of ''few'' apps that utilize the pressure sensitivity of the screen! Invaluable to create and annotate PDF documents on a pocket computer.

==Ruled Out==
These can be brought back to the Proposals once they meet the criteria.

===Not in maemo.org extras===
Appear in good condition to the user (e.g. beta/stable, page in Downloads, one-click install...) but are out of the maemo.org extras game.
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/claws-mail Claws Mail]: The only full-featured mail program for the tablet.

*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/mauku/ Mauku]: Jaiku client designed explicitly for Maemo, and makes good use of the UI including finger / stylus / kinetic gestures.

===Not available in Downloads===
Being consistent, the most remarkable applications for Maemo need to be available in http://maemo.org/downloads
*Abiword : Abiword's another desktop application which has a really nice port to maemo. A document editor which is very powerful and lightweight.
*Dates & Contacts : Both part of the Pimlico suite of applications, these allow me to use the N810 as a personal calendar and address book, with desktop synchronisation to boot.
*Gnumeric : Gnumeric is a great spreadsheet application, and the maemo port has been very nicely done.
*GPE Suite : Calendar, Contacts and To-Do List are quite useful. Use Erminig to sync Calendar with Google Calendars.
*GrandCentral Dialer : A simple GUI that interfaces with GrandCentral. Dialer + Gizmo can be used for virtually free calling to and from regular phones.
*Gourmet Recipe Manager : A neat way to plan meals.
*MLB Viewer : For baseball fans, simple UI, subscription to mlb.com required for video, audio is 'free'.
*VCURLs72 : Major US TV channels on your tablet. Best Edutainment without monthly fee
*WorldTV99 : TVs around the world on your tablet. Best Edutainment without monthly fee
*XChat : IRC on your tablet. Nice port.

===Still Alpha===
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/weightjinni Weightjinni] : A simple way to track food consumption, weight loss/gain (still in alpha).

===Developed by Nokia===
These are left out here.
*Camera : This is the first 3rd party application I installed on my tablet.
