Task:2010 Agenda

Help defining the maemo.org 2010 Agenda. This is taken to mean the vision the community has for the state of maemo in 2010.

  • Hardware requests are entirely out-of-scope and will be removed by community members trying to keep this page focused and on-topic.
  • Software requests which would be trivial for a third party to provide—or are already on the roadmap—are out-of-scope and will be removed by community members trying to keep this page focused and on-topic.

maemo development process

Openness, openness, openness

  • Core libraries developed in the open by Nokia employees, and maemo.org community contributors.
  • Non-Nokia specification writing and approval, worked on by Nokia employees and maemo.org community contributors; discussed on public mailing lists.
  • The ability to build a complete, flashable image by maemo.org community for beta testing of open components in development. (May be less necessary in an SSU-based world: TBC)
  • The ability to strip a maemo-based OS down to its base and build it up again differently (for example, KDE and no Hildon).
    • By 2010, installing completely different UIs should be achievable through the Application Manager.

maemo developer resources

  • Better localization guidelines for new and existing Developers.
  • Development Framework. ???
  • Documentation System. (Help system???)
  • Better GPS resources. (GeoClue???)
  • Development Tools and Utilities for Linux, OS X and Windows.
  • Better modern native languages support - like Vala and D. && how to build a hello world app in C++/Vala in 10 minute (no more!)

End-user software wishlist

Software requests are really out-of-scope (or able to be provided by third party developers without maemo.org involvement); however, they are recorded here so they do not get duplicated:

  • A PIM system that can be tied into by developers, to provide PC synchronization etc.
    • A equivalent to telepathy for calendar and contact list: A well integrated framework.
  • Telepathy:
    • Better video call support
  • Global sync-software
  • Office suite. (???)
