Yeah Curitiba! It was great... daí :)

The Week of Mobility on Curitiba was the most interesting experience we had so far: a very nice group, with students that were looking for new features on maemo platform every time. The results were also amazing!! Translators, media players, applications that synchronizes Internet Tablet and desktop contents, games, OCR... are just some examples of applications developed by maemo students during the last days of workshop. Thanks a lot for Myriam, Anelise and Keiko. For more information (including photos and videos), visit http://semanadamobilidade.blogspot.com

Next city: Curitiba

Week of Mobility is up and running!! Our new destination is Curitiba, a nice city in South of Brazil. I´m very anxious about this event: we´ll certainly produce great results, such as interesting applications! As on previous editions, the Week of Mobility on Curitiba consists of talks about maemo platform, embedded Linux and Python for S60. There´re also trainings on maemo and Python for S60. The students will have access to Nokia N800 Internet Tablet to test their applications, that are developed during the training.

INdT Programming Arena Contest at FISL

Nokia Institute of Technology promotes programming contests in cooperation with Forum Nokia at FISL 2008 Programming Arena Contest

The winners will receive Nokia N95 and Nokia N800 devices as prizes. Forum Nokia will also promote some lectures to guide developers that want to contribute with its projects.

This is the first time that Nokia Institute of Technology (Instituto Nokia de Tecnologia - INdT) will participate in International Forum of Free Software (Fórum Internacional de Software Livre - FISL) that will happen from April 17^th to 19^th at Porto Alegre, Brazil. In partnership with Forum Nokia, an on-line community with more than 3 million of subscribed developers, the Institute promotes programming challenges in FISL Programming Arena and the best ones win Nokia N95 and Internet Tablets Nokia N800.

The challenges consist of programming contests that take into account programming an developing technical skills. The competition, which can be performed by only one programmer or by a team, will be integrated into open source projects for mobile platforms.

There are two phases: qualifying and insanifying. At qualifying phase, some simple task help the teams to get closer with Python language, Symbian OS and the platform API. Those ones that achieve the best results are classified to the next phase. The final result is a contribution to an open source project that can continue even after FISL.

Daniel Rocha, manager of Forum Nokia at Brasil, will present the lecture “Nokia – Open Source Initiatives and Projects for Smartphones”. He intents to show the last Nokia initiatives on the open source world, such as Python for S60, Open C, Maemo, Mobile Web Server and other important projects. The main reason for the talk is to guide the developers on how to become involved in such projects, how to port open source code to S60 smartphones and how to contribute with Forum Nokia open source projects.

Besides being part of Arena, the INdT will also participate of FISL in order to identify potential employer candidates. “We know that the best professionals of open source, the main research upstream of INdT - Recife, are on FISL. The competition atmosphere is the environment to evaluate the abilities of the candidates for possible jobs at INdT”, says Vanessa Nalesso, HR manager of INdT.
