CoSMo is an open-source Java ME mobile application for viewing conference schedules on devices. The project aims to provide an intuitive interface to see event schedules, session details, bookmarks and reminders. The developer is seeking help from the community to improve the UI, add features like schedule synchronization and surveys, and fix bugs. A demo showed the Devoxx schedule on a phone.
