[Fwd: [Desktop_architects] Summits at Desktop Developers Conference in Ottawa]]

[Deron Johnson]

ODSL is organizing an event in July in Ottawa. One of the preliminary
topics they have identified is the 3D Linux desktop. I'm wondering if
anybody working on Metacity or compglx is planning to attend this
conference.

>>As a result of desktop architects meeting in december of last year, OSDL
>>DTL is assisting with the organisation of three dedicated summits around
>>printing, wireless and power management in April 2006. In order to
>>maintain the momentum that has been created with these efforts OSDL DTL
>>is currently working together with the organizers of the Desktop
>>Developers Conference (DDC) in Ottawa, July 17-18, to have summits
>>associated with this event as well.
>>
>>The current proposal is to expand the two days of DDC with a third day
>>dedicated to summits around three different topics. Summit participants
>>will be encouraged to give a presentation during one of the first two
>>days while the third day will be dedicated to working sessions.
>>
>>Currently three preliminary topics for these summits have been
>>identified:
>>* Linux on laptops: Including hardware support, wireless, power
>>management, docking support, external display and high level aspects
>>such as roaming support. 
>>* The 3D Linux Desktop: 3D support affects the X server, window manager,
>>compositing manager and desktop applications. How does it all fit
>>together? How can 3D be used to improve the end user experience? 
>>* Sound and multimedia: Hardware support, multimedia frameworks and
>>codecs. 
>>
>>Some other suggestions for topics that have been received include:
>>* Usability
>>* Accessability
>>* Follow up to Portland initiative
>>
>>The DDC organisation will decide by Friday, March 3 on the topics for
>>the summits and would like to hear your opinion on the preliminary
>>topics and/or additional topic suggestions before that time. You can do
>>so by replying to this e-mail on the desktop architects mailinglist. In
>>particular we are looking for topics that would benefit from increased
>>collaboration between different projects/organisations.
>>
>>Note that there is a second desktop architects meeting (DAM-2) planned
>>for May 8-9 in France, if a topic doesn't get selected for DDC there is
>>the potential to address it at the DAM-2. Note also that it will be
>>possible to give individual presentation during DDC on topics outside
>>the predetermined topic areas.
