Meego Conference 2010

I am attending the Meego conference which is taking place at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin. This is my first experience of atteding an opensource event. The attendance is amazing – approximately 1000 people attending. Most of these people are software developers. I hope to learn a lot about the Meego platform over the next couple of days. I will be posting more are the conference proceeds.

So far day 1 has been very interesting I have sat through two very interesting technical sessions
the first was about Banshee which is an application very much like iTunes but supporting other platforms and operating systems. It will also support Syncing of iPhone devices.

The second session was about location networking. Basically Meego has a built in capability to use location information and give the user a view of those people in their social network are physicall near by. It does seems that this it is early days as yet but this is very interesting and particularly that the Meego developers are in the process of working this into the OS.

It seems that Meego will work on a whole range of devices including TV’s and in car entertainment devices. So there is a great deal going on in this space which certainly needs to be watched.
