MeeGo Community application support end-to-end story

Session Summary: 
How the MeeGo community application support infrastructure and process can be used by a developer to make their applications available to MeeGo end users, and how the end user can find the community applications, take them into use and give feedback and what happens in between. The presentation gives an overview of the different infrastructure elements that make up the community application infrastructure, for example community OBS, repositories, package management interface and the SDK tools to use it. It also shows an overview of the download client and how the end-user and developer connect through the system. The presentation describes the community QA process and how it relates to the overall application process.
Session Abstract: 

The presentation is not technically in-depth, but aimed more as an introduction to the way the MeeGo community can make open source applications available to MeeGo users. Other presentations will describe the technical aspects of the system in more detail.

The presentation describes the infrastructure and processes in the application support from a developer / end-user perspective.

The infrastructure part contains short descriptions of both the network parts, community OBS, repositories, web management interfaces, BOSS and OCS interface. It also shortly presents the on-device application client and the idea for an SDK plugin that would enable direct uploading to the community application infra.

The process of how these infrastructure pieces are used is presented from the application developer and MeeGo device end-user perspectives. The application quality assurance process is also introduced.

This session is intended to be the introduction session to the Community Application Support presentations. These include sessions on:

  • Community OBS (and other infrastructure parts)
  • End-user clients
  • Possibly the use of OCS in the community apps system
