There are potential sessions that are very specific to mobile desktops with no direct implications for 'static desktops', but there is a lot of stuff going on that is initiated by mobile projects or needs but have an impact overall (e.g. presence, bluetooth, connectivity management, search & metadata, desktop widgets, media players...). Cornering all this stuff in a mobile track would be as unfair as detach it from the main tracks. Also, even if what most people have nowadays (and therefore what most app developers target) are 'static desktops', when it comes to new developments a lot of the innovation is being pushed by the mobile business and use cases. It's "only" because the hardware is still not so available and popular that there is less users and less app developers, but if we believe the expectations of Nokia, Intel, Access, LiMo, Canonical... all this is meant to change and the Desktop Summit looks like the right place to highlight this. -- Quim Gil _______________________________________________ guadec-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/guadec-list
