Mobile line-up for GUADEC

[Dave Neary <dneary gnome org>]

Hi all,

After some wrangling, we have a fairly spectacular mobile-related 
line-up for Gran Canaria this year - including a full mobile day track 
which I talked about before, but which has seen some changes recently. 
In particularly, there are now two additions related to Moblin, one 
concerning the synchronisation software which Intel recently made public 
 (Monday, 10:00) and another related to the design of the Moblin user 
interface (Wednesday, 12:00).

Here's all of the GNOME Mobile related content throughout the 
conference, highlighted for your pleasure. There is especially huge 
amount of mobile platform related content in the cross-desktop track on 
Sunday morning, although given that our goal here at GNOME Mobile is to 
have our normal desktop platform be usable in mobile platforms, and to 
achieve that goal we are standardising and moving to well defined 
interfaces as much as possible, perhaps that is not unexpected.

As I said to you before, this is GUADEC, it is very much technology 
oriented, and this is absolutely the best place to go to see the present 
and the future of the GNOME platform. It is also a great opportunity for 
us to gather a critical mass of mobile platform developers together in 
one place, and figure out what needs to happen to the platform for 
mobile in the near future.

I'd like to get an idea how many people I should expect for the mobile 
BOF at the end of Wednesday so I'd appreciate it if people would let me 
know off-list if they're planning on attending.

Thanks!
Dave.

And here, without further ado, is the Mobile Related Gran Canaria
