I’ll be hosting a BoF session on extending Maemo 5’s new desktop at the Maemo Summit 2009 in Amsterdam next weekend. It’ll be held in the 770 room on Sunday at 12:00.
Here are some documentation pointers for Hildon desktop extenders:
- Writing Desktop Widgets in the draft Maemo 5 Developers Guide.
- API reference for libhildondesktop, a library for desktop extension developement.
- Python bindings for libhildondesktop.
In preparation for the event, I’d love to hear from people interested in the Hildon desktop, and specially from people developing home and status menu widgets.
Updated: The final Maemo 5 SDK has been released, I’ve changed the libhildondesktop link to the newest version.
