Dear DeviceMap team, As we just got about 24h left to submit proposals for ACE, please see last year's (accepted) abstract they still have on record and kindly suggest alterations or things to leave out if you think it's no longer needed:
> We experience a growing number of mobile phones, tablets, phablets, smart TV and similar devices flooding the market almost every day. Capturing the specification of each device is a tough job. If you want to create a comfortable user experience you need dynamic content according to hardware and browser specifications of your device. That’s the reason why Device Description Repositories (DDR) exist. Apache DeviceMap is a collaborative effort by Adobe, OpenDDR and others to create a comprehensive open-source and open-data repository of device information, images and other relevant information for all types of mobile devices, smartphones, tablets, smart TV, etc.. The project began in January 2012, later that year OpenDDR contributed DDR APis for Java and. NET. Ongoing steps are a common device repository, a storage structure and maintenance of device data by the Apache community. > Of course it now graduated from the Incubator, that's a no-brainer, but feel free to mention aspects of the 2.x vision if you want (max. 900 characters, the 2014 version got 892 already;-) I proposed at least one Groovy related talk already. And likely should be co-speaker with Anatole and maybe others for Tamaya. I also make up my mind about one proposal to the (larger) BigData one, something about Data Quality and an Apache project that uses related APIs already... TIA, Werner
