Re: FOSDEM (and ApacheCon) Proposal for DeviceMap

[Werner Keil <we...@gmail.com>]

Bertrand/all,

This may be rather short notice, but I just got an email reminder by
O'Reilly about its Fluent conference:
http://fluentconf.com/fluent2013?imm_mid=09d494&cmp=em-code-newsletters-dec6-direct

I just recently proposed DeviceMap for a similar series of conferences
dedicated to Web and Mobile Development in Germany (German speaking
content) so I was wondering, if you'd prefer to do so at this event, or
consider a joint proposal or should I do so?

As I proposed a special talk on Mobile Gaming and the problems most games
are facing today, I especially intend to do that for Fluent, given Gaming
is in its scope.

The focus might be more on PhoneGap which (as usual[?]) is
even explicitly mentioned, but I wouldn't say, DeviceMap and similar
frameworks aren't crucial for Mobile apps e.g. if you use HTML5 (most
platforms render that from their language of choice, not many people do
plain static HTML[?])
The gaming topic sounds quite relevant, especially for games that are
simply scripted into native apps using PhoneGap and other cross-generators.

Our jira project is at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DMAP, and
we can get a moinmoin or confluence wiki if needed.

I hope so, too. Beside actual code commits, I'd hope we get a more lively
discussion on the actual repository and how to store/maintain it.


   - Flat files (basically similar to OpenDDR now)
   - A sort of repository similar to Maven/Ivy, etc. (files underneath may
   be simlar, but e.g. modularity or patching could be handled more easily
   than now)
   - A more dynamic approach similar to OSGi (at least for Java servers,
   though I'm sure, .NET has such technologies or OSGi ports, too)
   - Another type of repository like JCR (something especialy Adobe and
   former Day operations should be extremely comfortable with[?])
   - Some form of Services, ideally REST/JSON calls, that I believe was
   already mentioned, but not further outlined except when we briefly spoke to
   a JBoss Mobile RichFaces lead in Prague in September.

Just a few ideas to get a discussion started.
Beside this mailing list, either a Wiki or JIRA could also work for this
kind of stuff.

Cheers,
Werner

Thanks - I did submit a talk related to DeviceMap, that's not been
accepted at this point. A few talks are usually kept in reserve in
case a speaker cannot make it, but considering there's no other
mobile-related content announced at [1] I guess the chances of having
that other talk get in are slim.

There's usually FastFeather talks for which one can sign up late, if
there's some progress in DeviceMap until then I might do one.

Congratulations, looks like you got a talk at ApacheCon, though it hardly
sounds related to DeviceMap[?]
Or do you have more than one talk, they mentioned that list was just the
"highlights"?

Werner

I'd say go ahead - I already have a few trips to the US planned for
2013 and I'm not looking for more at the moment.
