Hi, it's great to have an iphone and an android volunteer from day one! :) I'm going to brain-dump what we would expect from such mobile applications. First of all, I think they should be focused for being used *during* the conference, so they should adapt as the time passes (eg: grey out past events, etc.). The main feature should probably be the schedule navigation: * Download & store all schedule data for offline usage * Display schedule day by day * Display details of each talk/training * Display speaker bios and infos * Set reminder/alert when a certain talk is about to begin Then we can have lots of additional goodies obviously less important: Twitter integration: * See realtime twitters from @europython or with hashtag #ep2011 * Easy twitting for common tweets such as "I'm at talk XXX - #ep2011" Partner program: * Some kind of integration, TBD Evening events/dinner: * Again, some integration, google maps, etc. TBD Feedback form: * Allow filling of feedback forms before leaving EuroPython, and direct online submission. How does this sound? I can give you tomorrow some sample URLs with the API we are thinking of, so that you can start working on it as soon as you want. If you setup a project somewhere (github, bitbucket, google code, etc.) we could publish it immediately on the website, together with your contact infos so that other volunteers can get in touch with you directly to help you out (I'm assuming you will be releasing it as free software, but obviously that's your call). As for the graphic assets, you are obviously free to reuse the graphic design / images / background patterns / logos available on the website (it's all under CC-license), and we can get you in contact with our graphic designer in case you need some customizations.
