Decent examples, at last!
Jon spent a lot of time in the last weeks improving our documentation for Maliit . However, while documentation is good (and necessary), Jon thinks that examples are better

On app stores, compliance, packaging and tooling
I've been ranting about packaging requirements for app stores and the long roundtrip time and back-and-forth messaging that needs to take place until a package really gets published into an app store before. My experience here is with Nokia's Ovi Store and Intel's AppUp Center, and I'm obviously more interested in the Maemo and MeeGo-related parts (Ovi supports Symbian too, and AppUp supports Windows).

MeeGo Conference 2011: Exploratorium and Hacker Lounge video
If you missed the MeeGo Conference last week or for whatever reason can't remember what went on at the party, here's a short video of San Francisco, the party at the Exploratorium and of course some Hacker Lounge activities: Huge soap bubbles, a red bridge, mini-tornados, glass bottle ping pong, real-life Mong , losing at Lunar Lander (it was really, really very hard ;)) and Maemo community members dancing to Jessie's Girl performed live (and wondering who ordered that song..) - Enjoy :) 2011-06-01 23:26 UTC with score -1
MeeGo Conference San Francisco 2011
I was lucky to attend the MeeGo Conference in San Francisco last week, although a little bit unlucky to miss out on a free ExoPC. Like many other attendees, I was disappointed that there was not a significant device announcement, and felt that the conference as a whole was let down by having little new for end users compared to six months ago in Dublin. However, there were some interesting technical talks, and it was good to meet up with community members and friends, old and new
