OLPC ($100 Laptop) BoF
OLPC plans to ship 5-10 million Linux laptops for children's
education (primarily into the developing world) during 2007.
With lots of luck, maybe as many as 100 million systems in
2008.
Come talk about what's going on, how you can get involved
and help us succeed, and all that....

Moving the Maemo Handheld Desktop closer to GNOME
(Maemo/GNOME alignment BOF)
We will discuss what could be changed in the Maemo
HandHeld Desktop to steer it closer to the GNOME Desktop
while preserving good usability in handhelds, as well as
what could be done in the GNOME Desktop to make that
easier.
Carlos Guerreiro
Carlos Guerreiro leads a software R&D team at Nokia Multimedia
responsible for the GNOME-based Hildon Application Framework used by
both Maemo and in turn the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet. He holds an MSc
in Computer Science from Universidade Nova de Lisboa, in Portugal.
Before relocating to Helsinki to join Nokia in 2001, he worked as a
freelance developer in Portugal on various computer graphics and GIS
software projects. His current interests are in the use and development
of Linux and free software in handheld devices. He is also keen on using
GUADEC as an opportunity to make up for lost time by getting stuffed on
Spanish delicacies.
