== 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==
Some people living in or near berlin (including me :)) could provide accommodation in their residences. I think I have space enough for two people...
An other idea would be something like: [http://www.couchsurfing.com/] --[[User:jukey|jukey]] 15:24, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
:Beyond that, it would be also good to know about an affordable hostel. Any ideas?--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 20:23, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

People who may want something a bit classier than a hostel (presumably not sponsored by the Maemo Software Team) may be interested in this [http://www.berlin-landmarks.com/mitte_hotels.html list of hotels] which should be near the venue. For example, [http://www.accorhotels.com/frm_fiche_hotel.svlt?code_hotel=0357 Ibis Berlin Mitte] has rooms for about 74 EUR/night. --[[User:jaffa|Jaffa]] 20:11, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

== 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)

== 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)
* 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)

== 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)
*[http://www.euroflights.info/germany/berlin/ Euroflights] gives information on the various airlines which fly into/out-of Berlin --[[User:jaffa|Jaffa]] 19:58, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
::[http://www.edreams.com/edreams/english/ edreams] can give Europe wide fare information, as well - it seems. --[[User:jaffa|Jaffa]] 20:28, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
*General information on Airports and Public Transportation in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin#Transportation Wikipedia] --[[User:andre|Andre]] 23:34, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

== Agenda ==
Would it make sense to reserve a 30 minutes slot after or instead of the briefing session for a key note speaker summarizing/repeating the core announcements of OSIM? --[[User:peterschneider|peterschneider]] 10:08, 25 June 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)
