=========== Hello Anthony, Andreas, and Branden, OSDL's Desktop Linux group is holding its second Desktop Architects Meeting May 8-9 near Frankfurt, Germany. I realize this is the same week that DebConf begins, which is unfortunate; however, do you have anyone who may be interested in attending to ensure Debian is represented? OSDL has a limited budget available to help cover travel costs. The details are below. Best regards, Mike Jennings Linux Market Development Mgr. Channel Platform Solutions Group, Intel Corp. Hi Mike, We would like to have some Debian participation at the OSDL DTL event below. Do you happen to know anyone who would be suitable (see topic areas) or can you forward this to your Debian contacts and ask if they have suggestions for people? OSDL has a limited budget available to cover travel costs. Waldo Bastian Linux Client Architect - Client Linux Foundation Technology Channel Platform Solutions Group Intel Corporation - http://www.intel.com/go/linux OSDL DTL Tech Board Chairman ________________________________ Greetings, Desktop Architect: The OSDL Desktop Linux Workgroup cordially invites you to participate in our second Desktop Architects Meeting, to be held May 8-9 in Meinz (near Frankfurt), Germany. You have been recommended to the OSDL DTL as an architect and contributor within the Linux desktop community who can assist in shaping the future of the Linux Desktop. This meeting is a continuation of the Desktop Architects Meeting held in Portland, Oregon in November 2005. Proposed Agenda topics for the May Desktop Architects Meeting: - Summary reports and outputs from recent desktop technical events & activities - Wireless Summit - Power Management Summit - Printing Summit - Portland Project - Libre Graphics - LSB Desktop - OSDL Open Driver site - Distro Updates - Sound & Multimedia - ISV & Developer support discussion topics: - Portland Road Map - OSDL Developer portal - Tools to help enforce ABI stability - Packaging tools: additional features, standard of use * Linux Desktop & Standards: There are several important standardization efforts underway for the Linux Desktop : LSB Desktop, FreeDesktop/Portland and OpenDocument Format (ODF). In which areas are we missing good standards? Are existing calendaring standards up to their job? * Open Source Drivers: At the last DAM meeting, Printing and Wireless were defined as high priority projects for the desktop, which other specific driver areas are in need of more attention? * Sound & Multimedia: Multimedia is still perceived as an area where the Linux Desktop is weak: What is the current status of multimedia support in Linux distributions? What infrastructure can application developers rely on, and what is still missing? Codecs & patents: OSS and legal aspects etc. * Manageability / remote desktop management: Lowering TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) is an important driver for Linux client /desktop adoption. Maintenance costs form a significant part of TCO and are closely coupled to the availability of high quality management solutions for Linux clients. What solutions exist today and what are the challenges that today's generation of management tools face? Please note: There will be 2 planning session (conference calls) in the weeks prior to the DAM II (Desktop Architects Meeting).
