Memory Efficient GNOME Architecture
Based on experiences from developing the Nokia 770, there
are problems in the GNOME desktop architecture that hinder
its use on handheld devices. This talk presents how some of
those issues are tackled in Maemo platform and solutions
that could also be used to reduce memory consumption on
the desktop.
Tommi Komulainen
Komulainen
Tommi became involved in Open Source while studying computer science at
the Helsinki University of Technology. Student by day, hacking by night, and
working part time somewhere in between, he successfully scratched a few
itches through various projects. Tommi started contributing to GNOME by
helping to port Galeon to GNOME2 and that lead to him becoming one of the
maintainers. Before managing to finish the port, or graduating, Tommi joined
the Nokia 770 team. Since then, working on the Maemo platform has been
monopolizing his time. Currently Tommi is maintaining GTK+ and the widgets
architecture for Maemo.
