GUADEC 2007 Pre-Call for Papers
I plan on announcing the GUADEC 2007 Call for Papers in the next day or so, so I want everyone to put their thinking caps on and consider giving a talk this summer. There are several topics I'd like to see a good set of talks on:
- 10x10. How are we doing on the 10x10 plan: this includes feedback from people who have done large deployments, to people working on making GNOME work in the enterprise, and people putting GNOME in embedded devices.
- Integration. GNOME needs tighter integration within itself, be this showing presence in relevant applications, integrating chat/voip into the desktop, and tighter integration between applications. Do you have a cool application that makes GNOME easier to use, or something that integrates applications, documents, and people into a cohesive whole?
- Future. Lots of new code is being written, do you have anything interesting? A replacement for gnome-vfs, progress on Project Ridley, a new implementation of something fundamental like the panel?

better bluetooth support would be really cool.
(no idea if there was/is work on it post 2.6.16)
i'd really like to easily fetch my phone addressbook and messages..
thanks a lot for your work!!

Integration:
- HAL-ification
- DBUS-ification
- Tango-ification (Especially bundled icons)
- GStreamer-ification + new higher level Multimedia API for GNOME applications (List/Select hardware multimedia devices using HAL, play/record a sound with GStreamer, ...)
- Integrate tools which feel "external" such as bluetooth utilities (gnome-vfs obex is a start) or whole gnome-media
Yeah, that all sounds like "standardize!" (and lots of work/time, but brings down complexity and improves ease of use/maintainability)
Future:
- Moving to composting has somehow "halted"? Get on! Add real transparency in panel and your applications, gdm etc.
- Integration and Improvement (Performance, Memory Requirements) ARE part of the future development
- GNOME 3.0 should be a topic in terms of next generation desktop. (fully composite aware, improved toolkits with GL support and seamless Audio/Video GUI integration, animated widgets, Apple Quartz stuff etc.) Basically things hard to code right now or which end up with duplicated efforts.
