==Program==

=== Help with the program ===

I'm happy having the role of benevolent dictator for the schedule on Friday 19: I organize the sessions submitted and if someone finds a bug or an improvement just complain and we'll find a solution. However, I really don't want to organize the sessions on Saturday 20, which is purely a maemo.org community day. Can you please find either another dictator or a system to get that sorted out yourselves? I'm asking for a coordinator at [[Maemo_Summit_2008/Organization#Program]]. Thanks!--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 09:45, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Also, could someone draw nice tables for the schedules? I want to do this since.. but there is always something else taking the time. In principle each day needs a table with 3 columns (3 tracks), being some sessions single cells spanning through the whole row (no tracks, just one session at a time, or breaks). Appreciated. --[[User:qgil|qgil]] 09:45, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

=== Lightning sessions ===

These are really brief sessions of 5 minutes approx i.e. demos. You can propose your own session listing it directly in the schedule '''once you have confirmed your trip to Berlin'''. If we get many proposals we will have a second round of lightning sessions on Saturday. Lightning sessions are cool!

We are open to submissions in the form of decent quality videos, to be shown to the audience and uploaded in maemo.org as part of the video materials of the Summit.

* I'd like to present Intranet search (extended desktop search) from maemo with libferris (http://www.libferris.com/). This would be a quick overview of what is available now and where I'm heading with it. -- [https://wiki.maemo.org/User:Monkeyiq Monkeyiq] July 19.
:Now you can list it yourself.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 18:52, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
* We would like to demonstrate and talk about WorldTV99 (http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/worldtv99/) [bunanson and koos Vriezen] 09.16 16 July 2008 (BST).
:Now you can list it yourself.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 18:52, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
* I don't know if 5 minutes would be enough, but I would like to talk about Rich UIs and the importance of being different and showing the potential of the platform to "Transform" itself in different products, focused in one main use: like our projects: Canola (media player) Carman (onboard computer + car media) and others like remote controls, etc. The real goal is to show why is really needed that some applications "break" the rules and extend the experience showing the power of openness. (this can be a full talk if of interest)
:20 seconds are enough for a great ad, 3:30 are enough for a great videoclip and 5:00 are enough for a great lightning session. :) Find a title and... a name for yourself (are you Marcelo?) Then on Saturday you could organize a full session.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 08:30, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
:::Now you can list it yourself.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 18:52, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
* I would like to present Illumination, an alternative GUI library, which is used by my applications. 5 minutes is a start (I'm a fast speaker ;-)), but around 20 minutes would be better. Take 5 minutes on friday or can I get 20 minutes on saturday? I could also speak a little bit of my problems porting a non-Gtk based GUI library (togetehr with some hints towards existing APIs). What about that (5 minutes would be not enough again I fear)?--[[User:framstag|framstag]] 15:29, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
:Now you can list it yourself.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 18:52, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
* Cloud storage: Improve you app by syncing with internet services. I would love to take 5 minutes to show how easy it is to augment an application to sync with a google service. I have no doubt I can show off full 2 way sync between Google Documents and "Notes" for the demo all in less than 500 lines of python code. [[User:brontide|brontide]] 20:06, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

=== BoFs and workshops ===

List below your proposals for activities. They are thought to be highly participative i.e. discussion about an area of the platform, workshops, etc. '''[[User:brontide|I]] have promoted many proposals onto the main page. If you need longer than a half an hour slot then [[User:brontide|let me know]].

* I want to propose a BoF about the new process for Diablo Extras. (Autobuilder, Promotion, Assistant) --[[User:xfade|xfade]] 08:02, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
:These look like good topics for the Saturday morning track on packaging and publishing. Please help defining the content of that track.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 21:37, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
:: Have all of these been scheduled yet or do you need more time? [[User:brontide|brontide]] 02:15, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
* I'd love to see some sort of break-out brainstorming session or round table discussing current status / future desires for the Maemo platform as a whole. I think this crowd would offer much wisdom to the official team. --[[User:timsamoff|timsamoff]] 02:44, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
:Unsure whether this would fit better on Friday or Saturday...--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 18:57, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
:: What about a single session during the 17:00 slot on Saturday -- a sort of , wrap-up for everyone to come back together and offer opinions? --[[User:timsamoff|timsamoff]] 15:22, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
:::Sounds good!--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 20:03, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
:::: I think we should combine a few of these forward looking talks into something more cogent [[User:brontide|brontide]] 02:15, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

* I would like to make a case for embedded (on-tablet) web apps for easy creation of mobile applications for Maemo. With a little bit of python advocacy, a spotlight on the up-and-coming web2py framework, and an example with a little utilitarian app I made and use on my tablet. This is more than a lightning talk but certainly less than an hour - more like 15-20 mins ? --[[User:fredp|fpp]]
: Think of time for questions/comments as well -- if a presentation is 20-min, it could extend to 45-min with others' input. --[[User:timsamoff|timsamoff]] 20:18, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
:: Fred, do you have a reservation? are you coming? [[User:brontide|brontide]] 02:15, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
* Mamona doesn't seem to have gone through this page, but putting X-Fade's talk about the future of the auto-builder, and my talk about mud on at the same time seems counter-intuitive, given they're on the same track. Will mamona's talk need the space of all 3 rooms? Is it a keynote? Might make sense to free up one of the rooms so that X-Fade and I can follow on from each other. --[[User:jaffa|Jaffa]] 23:01, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
: How much time will you need for mud? I've started tracking things out a little into community and programming to see how things line up. I would like to see the important programming topic non-overlapping [[User:brontide|brontide]] 02:39, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
:: Eric, I really like what you are doing. Coolness. --[[User:timsamoff|timsamoff]] 02:55, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

=== Mini Exhibit ===

Anyone want to be in charge on having a mini exhibit -- maybe for the OSiM Maemo booth as well as at the Maemo Summit? Someone can contact, coordinate, and round-up remarkable apps, hacks, and interfaces and help set them up so enthusiasts and guests can see and play with them. The objective here is to show what the Internet Tablet is capable of doing.

Here are some ideas:

== Advertising ==

I've submitted the event to the [http://lwn.net/Calendar/Monthly/2008-09/ LWN Event Calendar]. Is there any other wider advertising we can do? --[[User:jaffa|Jaffa]] 11:55, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

== Community ==

I've got some ideas to allow people attending at Maemo Summit to communicate better. If you have any other idea, please write/discuss here. --[[User:andy80|Andrea Grandi]] 10:35, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

* Prepare a sort of "bagde". A simple card with these informations:
** Name (nickname)
** What we do in our life (Developer/Student/Blogger/ecc...)
** Spoken languages: we could print a flag for each language we speak

* Prepare a custom Google map with all the hot points in Berlin: c-base, OSiM, all hotels we booked ecc...

* Create POI's for these place to use on Map software in our tablets

:Introductory session added on Friday. Feel free adding more related activities on Saturday.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:12, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
* Package cleanup sprint/BoF/workshop: get some like-minded people (and preferably someone who's familiar with Debian packaging) with laptops and scratchboxes in a room, let them share packaging experience and fix problems with packages in Extras (unifying sections, adding missing icons, descriptions, menu items). --[[User:mgedmin|mgedmin]] 01:02, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
:Proposed for Saturday. Please add descriptions, facilitators and links.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:12, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

:These look like good topics for the Saturday morning track on packaging and publishing. Please help defining the content of that track.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 21:37, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
* We (Mamona developers) have proposed a session on Saturday to show how Maemo developers can take advantage of Mamona Platform flexibility/"hackability". We also believe that it would be nice have a BoF to hear from Maemo community ideas and its needs.
:Verrrrry good to see you ın Berlin.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 08:54, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
* I would like to talk informally a bit on issues in porting applications to Maemo trying to integrate ways to take advantage of the peculiarities of the Maemo devices. The sessions/bof from mgedmin (about package cleanup), the one from xfade (about the new process for Diablo Extras) and the one from jaffa (about mud) and this one are somehow related. Tracks of Maemo Developments and particularly on the tools provided by the Maemo team (mud, extras repositories, hildon APIs, maemo packaging)--[[User:anidel|anidel]] 07:28, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
:This is a session for Saturday. Get yourself in the schedule or wait to the Saturday coordinator.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 08:03, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
* I would like to talk about DSP programming, basically to encourage more people to have a go. I'm not quite sure what the best format for this would be, it's probably expecting too much for everyone to turn up with a computer ready to install a toolchain and get programming (or perhaps not); perhaps an informal (ask questions as we go along sort of thing) with examples of where and how, problems that might be met, how to use the DSP Gateway, data transfer, etc. -Simon Pickering [lardman] 09.16 16 July 2008 (BST).

==Program==

=== Help with the program ===

I'm happy having the role of benevolent dictator for the schedule on Friday 19: I organize the sessions submitted and if someone finds a bug or an improvement just complain and we'll find a solution. However, I really don't want to organize the sessions on Saturday 20, which is purely a maemo.org community day. Can you please find either another dictator or a system to get that sorted out yourselves? I'm asking for a coordinator at [[Maemo_Summit_2008/Organization#Program]]. Thanks!--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 09:45, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Also, could someone draw nice tables for the schedules? I want to do this since.. but there is always something else taking the time. In principle each day needs a table with 3 columns (3 tracks), being some sessions single cells spanning through the whole row (no tracks, just one session at a time, or breaks). Appreciated. --[[User:qgil|qgil]] 09:45, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

=== Lightning sessions ===

These are really brief sessions of 5 minutes approx i.e. demos. You can propose yours below:

List below your proposals for activities. There are thought to be highly participative i.e. discussion about an area of the platform, workshops, etc:

* Not sure if it's a BoF or a wider session (BoF would do), but I could imagine doing a "thing" on using [http://mud-builder.garage.maemo.org/ mud-builder] on producing packages for use with the Extras autobuilder. --[[User:jaffa|Jaffa]] 21:07, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

:Introductory session added on Friday. Feel free adding more related activities on Saturday.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:12, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
* Package cleanup sprint/BoF/workshop: get some like-minded people (and preferably someone who's familiar with Debian packaging) with laptops and scratchboxes in a room, let them share packaging experience and fix problems with packages in Extras (unifying sections, adding missing icons, descriptions, menu items). --[[User:mgedmin|mgedmin]] 01:02, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

:This is a session for Saturday. Get yourself in the schedule or wait to the Saturday coordinator.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 08:03, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
* I'd love to see some sort of break-out brainstorming session or round table discussing current status / future desires for the Maemo platform as a whole. I think this crowd would offer much wisdom to the official team. --[[User:timsamoff|timsamoff]] 02:44, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
* I could put a session together based on the unofficial UI doc that I wrote ([http://samoff.com/maemoui/ http://samoff.com/maemoui/]), with a bent towards participant reaction, suggestion, and advice.

2008-07-17T02:59:47Z

66.57.14.168: /* BoFs and workshops */

== Super idea ==

Maemo summit is a perfect idea. It gives the project more publicity, which is crucial at this time of new goals etc.--[[User:kozuch82|kozuch82]] 23:02, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

==Accommodation==
Moved to [[Maemo Summit 2008/Accommodation]].

== Lightning sessions ==

These are really brief sessions of 5 minutes approx i.e. demos. You can propose yours below:
* i would like to present (properly this time) liqbase to an eager crowd - would need travel/accom arranging --[[User:lcuk|lcuk]] 12:41, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
: Commited!--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:10, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
* "Converting videos on Linux using [http://mediautils.garage.maemo.org/tablet-encode.html tablet-encode]" - hopefully will drum up some interest in improving the UI --[[User:jaffa|Jaffa]] 14:15, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
: You're in!--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 21:35, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
* "[http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21629 Debian in a chroot on the tablet], using a nested X-Server and a light WM (demo)" - I would love to talk (and hack) with people about this --[[User:qole|qole]] 23:42, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
* "Maemo Bug Jar: Origins, Results, and Future Plans" [[User:sjgadsby|sjgadsby]] 15:55, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

== BoFs and workshops ==

List below your proposals for activities. There are thought to be highly participative i.e. discussion about an area of the platform, workshops, etc:

* Not sure if it's a BoF or a wider session (BoF would do), but I could imagine doing a "thing" on using [http://mud-builder.garage.maemo.org/ mud-builder] on producing packages for use with the Extras autobuilder. --[[User:jaffa|Jaffa]] 21:07, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
:Proposed for Saturday. Please add descriptions, facilitators and links.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:12, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
* There should be a session by the [[Task:Community Council]] assuming one is elected by then. --[[User:jaffa|Jaffa]] 21:07, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
:Introductory session added on Friday. Feel free adding more related activities on Saturday.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:12, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
* Package cleanup sprint/BoF/workshop: get some like-minded people (and preferably someone who's familiar with Debian packaging) with laptops and scratchboxes in a room, let them share packaging experience and fix problems with packages in Extras (unifying sections, adding missing icons, descriptions, menu items). --[[User:mgedmin|mgedmin]] 01:02, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
:Proposed for Saturday. Please add descriptions, facilitators and links.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 06:12, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
* I want to propose a BoF about the new process for Diablo Extras. (Autobuilder, Promotion, Assistant) --[[User:xfade|xfade]] 08:02, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
:These look like good topics for the Saturday morning track on packaging and publishing. Please help defining the content of that track.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 21:37, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
* We (Mamona developers) have proposed a session on Saturday to show how Maemo developers can take advantage of Mamona Platform flexibility/"hackability". We also believe that it would be nice have a BoF to hear from Maemo community ideas and its needs.
:Verrrrry good to see you ın Berlin.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 08:54, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
* I would like to talk informally a bit on issues in porting applications to Maemo trying to integrate ways to take advantage of the peculiarities of the Maemo devices. The sessions/bof from mgedmin (about package cleanup), the one from xfade (about the new process for Diablo Extras) and the one from jaffa (about mud) and this one are somehow related. Tracks of Maemo Developments and particularly on the tools provided by the Maemo team (mud, extras repositories, hildon APIs, maemo packaging)--[[User:anidel|anidel]] 07:28, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
* I would like to talk about DSP programming, basically to encourage more people to have a go. I'm not quite sure what the best format for this would be, it's probably expecting too much for everyone to turn up with a computer ready to install a toolchain and get programming (or perhaps not); perhaps an informal (ask questions as we go along sort of thing) with examples of where and how, problems that might be met, how to use the DSP Gateway, data transfer, etc. -Simon Pickering [lardman] 09.16 16 July 2008 (BST).
* We would like to demonstrate and talk about WorldTV99 [bunanson and koos Vriezen] 09.16 16 July 2008 (BST).

== About sponsorship ==

Oskari from Nemein is working on the registration. As soon as it's ready we will use it to get sponsorship requests. We have a limited budget for sponsoring people and one of the keys to get more contributors covered is to find cheap &b decent accommodation, since a lot of €€€ goes there if badly planned. Same for intercontinental flights.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 17:27, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

I gather we request/are told times/dates and specifics after acceptance? [[User:lcuk|lcuk]] 18:52, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
:Let's see how this worflow goes. Be patient, specially the first ones being accepted. However, the more details you can provide already in the initial request, the better.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 19:18, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

== Travel ==

*I just saw ryanair offers free flights from Stansted to Berlin on the dates of the Summit (September 18th to September 20th). Only taxes apply, so it's only £20 to go back and forth by plane. From what I recalled, flights were 6AM on friday, 9PM on sunday, but their website just went blank, so I can't check it again. I'll try to see if it also works from other places. I don't know what you kind of discounts you get, but this might be interesting to look into. I'll check again when the website's back up --[[User:crashanddie|crashanddie]] 11:51, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
::It would appear bookings have to be made before [http://www.ryanair.com/site/EN/cheapflights.php?dest=SXF&base=STN Monday July 7th] in order to get the £20 round-trip to Berlin. [http://www.ryanair.com/site/EN/dests.php?flash=chk List of different cities] that would appear to serve the Berlin airport, and can use this offer are: Stockholm (Skavsta), Frankfurt (Hahn), London (Stansted), Dublin, Milan (Orio al Serio) and East Midlands. --[[User:crashanddie|crashanddie]] 14:40, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

== Trademark and Branding ==

Under the [[Maemo_summit_2008#Nokia_and_Maemo:_Next_Iteration|Nokia and Maemo: Next Iteration heading]], there are two things that are listed improperly. "Maemo software" should, presumably, be "Maemo Software" and "Maemo.org" should ''definitely'' not be capitalized. —[[User:generalantilles|GeneralAntilles]] 18:17, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
::Changed. However, this is copy&paste from the OSiM program that won't be changed. The text was requested several weeks ago, before the branding discussion.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 19:45, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

== OSiM World entry ==

[[User:qgil|qgil]], can you update this with any details of OSiM entry offers available to summit attendees; or at least an ETA of when information might be available? Cheap air/rail fares won't last forever :-( --[[User:jaffa|Jaffa]] 21:12, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
:In case of hesitation book for the four days. We'll arrange something. Specially *you* will get access to all areas if you wish. I will call tomorrow the OSiM organizers. :) --[[User:qgil|qgil]] 21:17, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
::Thanks :-). Time off work: ''tick''; travel: ''dependent on [http://www.nshispeed.nl/ website] working''; [http://www.accorhotels.com/accorhotels/fichehotel/gb/mer/4988/fiche_hotel.shtml hotel] booked from 16/09/2008 for four nights: ''tick'' --[[User:jaffa|Jaffa]] 22:28, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

== Recording the Event ==
[[User:baloo|Jamie Bennett]] For the people who can't make it to the summit, it would be nice to have a set of recorded sessions and maybe interviews available for the community. I have the necessary equipment to make this a reality if needed unless someone already has this covered.

[[User:baloo|Jamie Bennett]] OK, looks like there is some interest in this. If you have any requests such as people to interview, questions to ask please add them to the [[Talk:Maemo_Summit_2008_recordings|recordings wiki page]]

:See also [[Maemo_Summit_2008/Organization#Marketing_.26_coverage]]. Note: to sign your comments just press the second last icon in the editing toolbar, the one that remotely resembles a piece of signature. :) --[[User:qgil|qgil]] 22:40, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

== Advertising ==

I've submitted the event to the [http://lwn.net/Calendar/Monthly/2008-09/ LWN Event Calendar]. Is there any other wider advertising we can do? --[[User:jaffa|Jaffa]] 11:55, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Task:Remarkable community projects

2008-07-13T09:49:17Z

66.57.14.168: /* Not available in Downloads */

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

''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.
* '''Stable''': feature set complete, installs flawlessly, works, doesn't harm the system, secure.
* '''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. Add you comment if you think any of these candidates is not fit enough for the top selection, or belong to a different category.

===Born for Maemo===
Remarkable projects targetting primarily the Maemo platform.
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/canola2/ Canola2]: Canola is a media consumer: photos, music, videos...local or remote, you name it.
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/maemo-mapper Maemo Mapper]: Most downloaded application for Maemo. Best map application. Can interact with lots of different mapping sites, including OpenStreetmap.

*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/mediabox/ MediaBox]: A nice, simple UI for viewing photos and movies. Not as 'bare-bones' as Mplayer, not as 'tricked-out' as Canola2.
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/mytube/ mYTube] : An youtube browsing/downloading/playing application.
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/numptyphysics Numpty Physics]: This game is educational, hard, fun. Made for the stylus.
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/vagalume Vagalume]: Last.fm is my favourite music site, and Vagalume is my favourite Last.fm client.

===Very nice ports===
Remarkable projects successfully ported to Maemo.
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/labyrinth Labyrinth] : An idea-mapping tool with a lot of potential.
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/mplayer/ MPlayer]: Simple UI, provides the best playback performance for mpeg4/divx/xvid video on Nokia 770/N8x0.

*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/scummvm/ ScummVM] : program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files.
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/evince/ Evince] : Evince is a document viewer for multiple document formats. It currently supports pdf, postscript, djvu, tiff and dvi.
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/ines/ iNES], [http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/fmsx/ fMSX], [http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/colem/ ColEm], [http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/speccy/ Speccy], [http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/vgba/ VGBA] - all fms's emulators - great ports of his original ones.
*[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.

===Outstanding utilities===
Remarkable projects successful in a focused mission.
*[http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/erminig Erminig] : Allows a two-way sync between Google Calendars and the GPE calendar on the N810.
*[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/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 or dial a number using GPE or built-in (EDS) 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/quiver/ Quiver]: Simple UI is fast and flexible. Does one thing--displays photos--well.
*[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.

==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/fbreader FBReader] : The best free e-book reader.
*[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'.
*[http://notecase.sourceforge.net/index.html NoteCase] : a full featured hierarchical note manager
*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).

*[http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21259 liqbase] : playtest for sketching with kinetic graffiti and fullscreen tearfree refresh

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

Task:Remarkable community projects

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

''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 stabe release.
* '''Open''': community feedback and contributions are part of the project - open source is a very good factor but not a must.
* '''Stable''': feature set complete, installs flawlessly, works, doesn't harm the system, secure.
* '''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.
