The first thing we will do each day is have a talk by one of the UX specialists who are attending, and will share the basic principles behind the concept of the day (Concepting, Interaction Design/Usability, and Graphics).

Then, we will have an interactive workshop where we will break into groups and focus on the two main projects of the day, helping to improve the user experience as a community.

Finally, we will have breakout sessions, where developers and UX specialists can team up and you can focus on improving your application on a coding level.

The scheduling for the talks and the workshops has been added to the Long Weekend agenda at http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo-Barcelona_Long_Weekend/Agenda#Agenda.

===Projects===

6 projects have been selected to get get special attention during the Long Weekend. The group will do its best to have a Before and After for them. Participants in the hackfest can join the discussion/work of a specific project or can you their time to work on their own projects.

====How to get help====

# Look up developers who work with the technology you need help with in the list above
# Approach the developers and ask them for help/advice :)
# In the neighbor room there will be [[Maemo-Barcelona_Long_Weekend/Formaci%C3%B3n|a developer
training track]]. Feel free jumping there to ask questions, too!

You can always get help regarding UX on IRC by joining #maemo (anytime) or #maebar (for the Long Weekend) on the server irc.freenode.net - there are usually one or two UX people online who can help you out!

=== Interested? ===

If you want to be invited please provide in [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=33719 this thread]:

* Your [http://maemo.org/profile/list/ maemo.org profile] making sure that there one can find info about or links to your current projects and your interests in Code or UX.
* If you are more into Code, a link to the app hosted in maemo.org, either under [http://maemo.org/packages/ Fremantle packages] or [http://maemo.org/downloads/OS2008/ OS2008 Downloads].
* If you are more into UX, a link to wherever your work can be seen.

Forward this to your colleagues working on great stuff!

For budgeting and also practical purposes we will keep the number of participants around 50 people even if we get more requests. The criteria will be defined more or less by fast response, travel costs, community involvement and of course Maemo excellence in Code or UX.
