We've had a great response to the MeeGo Call for Proposals with over 150 sessions submitted as of a few minutes ago, and I expect we'll see more today from the procrastinators who waited until the last day to submit.
However, we've noticed a few gaps in content, and there have been a few questions about the BOF process, so we are extending the deadline by a few days to give people a little more time to address these gaps. BOFs: If you would like to lead a Birds of a Feather session (BOF) at the MeeGo conference, please submit it now as part of the call for proposals process. There will not be a separate BOF submission process. Preface the session title line with 'BOF:' to let us know you are proposing a BOF, instead of a regular session. You can see several examples of BOFs that have already been submitted. In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI): While we have quite a few sessions on handsets and other vertical products, we have few sessions devoted to IVI technologies. This is a hot topic, and if you are working on IVI, I recommend that you submit a talk. Middleware: We aren't seeing quite as many middleware session proposals as we would like, so please think about additional middleware talks. You can get a full list of middleware components from the MeeGo Architecture diagram: http://meego.com/developers/meego-architecture Project Leadership: Quite a few of the people with key roles in the MeeGo governance have not yet submitted sessions. As project leaders / maintainers of key components of the MeeGo distribution, we would expect to see more session submissions from the people leading the project. A full session or even a "Meet the Team" BOF would be a good way for people to meet those of you in key positions. Visit the Call for Session Proposals page to submit your proposal: http://conference2010.meego.com/program/call-session-proposals Please take a minute to browse the session submissions (http://conference2010.meego.com/program), and if you see any other gaps, please respond to this thread to let us know.
