Proposals

Mobile track

Discussion of issues related to Mobile computing, in particular the following issues are topical:

  • the usual kernel/power usage/arm/etc fun times
  • significant performance issues like kdbus that matter a great deal for mobile and not a jot for desktops; we can generally get quite a few fun performance/optimisation talks out of mobile people
  • graphics/UI stack issues to some extent: again, projects like clutter and wayland that are a lot more critical on mobile than desktop
  • the higher-level side of all the relevant platforms: meego, android, bada (maybe webos?)
  • anything relevant to sharing between the platforms: webkit in particular comes to mind here
