"At the very heart of the Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) movement,
the Open World Forum aims to enable cross-fertilization between FLOSS
initiatives worldwide to encourage innovation and competitiveness. It will
define the first ever roadmap for FLOSS over the next decade: the 2020 FLOSS
Roadmap."

We a currently coding a schedule-application for the Android platform. This
application will have the following features: (all off-line)
* list the lectures, ltalks and stands
* show the details/abstract of a lecture
* select favorites so you can find your selection back easily
* search for lectures based on strings in the title/abstract
* find the right room easily using a map (todo)
* alert you when your favorite lectures start (todo)
* update the list of lectures trough the web (todo)
* data-input is currently JSON based (still working on converting XML to
JSON using XSLT)
The code is based on the googleio2009 [1] application. If you're an Android
developer and want to help please contact Christophe [2]. In the spirit of
this conference there is probably no need to say it's opensource code.
iPhone, maemo and other developers can also contact Christophe [3] if they'd
like to write an (opensource) application for their device. He will assist
you where necessary and give you an XML or a JSON database of the lectures.

Hi open source enthusiasts and FOSDEM crew,
Have any of you thought about the representation of Android at the
FOSDEM 2010 event? Android open source related development is still slim
in comparison with other projects, but this might change fast and many
people might be interested in getting started on Android. Could this
warrant a small presence, in the form of a dev room or a stand?
There are three components to Android that are of interest to FOSDEM:
- The open source Android OS itself. Might even want to try to get
Google/OHA members involved somehow.
- Open source apps written for Android. Projects certainly exist but are
often still in an inception phase. See
https://launchpad.net/+search?field.text=android ,
http://www.ohloh.net/search?q=android ,
http://code.google.com/intl/nl-BE/search/#q=android , or search
yourself.
- Android ROM modding.
Groetjes/Regards,
