API management Chinook will bring another API break, ● needed for the alignment with GTK+ upstream (from 2.6 to 2.10). ● Developers can partially test applications on top of Sardine already. ● Plan to release alpha and beta SDKs to facilitate porting before Chinook launch. ● From Diablo onwards we aim to keep backward compatibility in justified API breaks to grant platform stability. ● We depend from upstream breaks, though.

code in your hands Hildon
goes upstream User environment designed for mobile ● devices with a strong focus on usability and attractive look & feel. ● Originally designed for touchscreen input with a stylus or thumb. ● First developed for Nokia Internet tablets, now aiming to support several form factors as well. ● Built on top of the GNOME Mobile and Embedded platform. Quim Gil / LinuxTag / Berlin / 1-june-2007

code in your hands Hildon
goes upstream Provides a set of libraries, a theme ● framework, the Hildon desktop, an input methods framework and UI guidelines to build applications. ● Plugin interfaces to extend Hildon. ● Language bindings. So far it supports Python and C++. Other languages under consideration. ● All components have accessibility support, especially to allow automatic UI testing with tools like Dogtail. Quim Gil / LinuxTag / Berlin / 1-june-2007
