Those of you interested in designing the San Francisco MeeGo Conference t-shirt have an extra week. Dawn Foster, a member of the Community Office, said we've extended the deadline a week to give people a little extra time. You now have until April 15 to submit an awesome design! Your editor has an idea for a design but, unfortunately, no skill (or time) to realise it. Best wishes to all those participating!
Randall Arnold has outlined the status of the MeeGo Community Device Programme, and how the team have been progressing: I am still trying to get more providers in. I heard from the AAVA rep again today but no actual progress yet-- he hopes to free time up this week to talk with me. I also reached out to GENIVI to see about including the dev device they expect to have out in September for automotive use. Cross your fingers, IVI fans! In addition, I have added a new table to the wiki for tracking proposals/requests for provider participation. Feel free to help out there! Also propose devices. Randall and Ferenc Szekely have been putting together a technical specification for an online device request application. Although commendably approaching the programme from multiple angles, investing in a carefully relational, online application might unduly delay getting the firstbatch of devices into developers' hands. Your editors might suggest a wiki page (or simply email) could be useful to get things moving in the mean time.
