Re: [Fosdem-maemo-devel] State and future of fosdem-maemo/-schedule

Hi Gregor,

My understanding of current situation is that there are no plans for further development of the application from our side. If you find time to improve the application and/or use it for some other conferences, it will be just fine and I/we will be really happy that the project is still ongoing.
If someone else from the group of interested people has something to say, please do it now. Thank you.

Br,

Subject: [Fosdem-maemo-devel] State and future of fosdem-maemo/-schedule

Hi Ixonos folks,

thanks for writing fosdem-maemo/-schedule, I've been using it for 2 FOSDEMs now, and it's a really nice tool.

I'm interested in using the the application not only for FOSDEM but as a general schedule programme for conferences that use pentabarf for scheduling. Luckily the multi-connference menu allows to import other schedule xmls too, and it basically works for the CCC and DebConf calendars. - Therefore I'd like to see the tool (maybe
renamed?) in the official Debian and Maemo repositories, and I'd happily upload it.

Unfortunately the conferences code path has some bugs when actually used with more than one conference, and there are still some FOSDEM
(2010) specific parts.

Therefore I wanted to ask about the state and future of the project.
Is it still developped at Ixonos? Would you like to get detailed bug reports, proposals for changes, patches? Are you interested in additional developers? - I'm open for all possibilities :)

If you don't have time or interest in the project anymore, that's also no problem; in this case I'd say "Thank you" for the great codebase and would try to develop it further with a friend.

Thanks again,
gregor
