Hello, Koen will be talking about Wt in the Cross Desktop room next Sunday, 14.30 - 15.15:
--8<------------ The next desktop is the browser! In this talk we discuss the possibilities offered by browsers these days, including HTML5, WebSockets, NaCL, and give an overview of approaches to target the browser as platform for typical desktop applications. In the last years, several interesting attempts were made to explore possibilities to port GTK or Qt-based software to the browser, targeting either HTML5 as a low-level canvas, or using more building blocks of HTML5. We will discuss the various possibilities and also future developments. We discuss distinct properties of a browser that affect user experience, including hyperlinking, bookmarks and forward/back buttons. We will also discuss performance implications of different approaches, taking into account network latency, rendering efficiency, and where applicable, deployment scalability http://fosdem.org/2011/schedule/event/desktopbrowser --8<------------ I'm giving a talk on the same room, also on Sunday, at 10.15, but it's Wt-unrelated: --8<------------ KDE on Windows KDE was started in 1996 as a Unix-only desktop environment and was quickly adopted by major Linux distributions. By 2011, after a decade of work mostly by a handful of heroic and relentless developers, KDE runs natively on Windows and commercial applications are developed on top of it. This talk will introduce the origins, people, difficulties faced (build system, compilers, platform differences, third party dependencies), and will show the current status of KDE applications on Windows. http://fosdem.org/2011/schedule/event/kdewin --8<------------ Is anyone else coming? I'll arrive to Brussels (Charleroi, actually, but you know Ryanair :-) ) on Friday morning. Beer event starts at 18.00 but it's so crowded it'll be a miracle if we meet there. Not to speak of the lack of badges :-) Anyone wants to meet up for lunch or dinner and plan how to take over the world? ;-) -- Pau Garcia i Quiles http://www.elpauer.org (Due to my workload, I may need 10 days to answer) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
