What?

Sojourner is a conference schedule viewer for the Nokia N900, the smartphone of choice for the discerning sandal-wearer. Talks can be browsed by topic, by room or by time; your favourite events can be starred for easy browsing later on.

It currently shows the schedule for MeeGo Summit Finland 2011, having previously shown FOSDEM 2011; it's relatively easy to add more conferences. It's written in Python and uses the Hildon widget set, via a really shonky abstraction layer named Malvern.

New in 0.2.2

• Thanks to Topi Santakivi, Sojourner now shows the schedule for MeeGo Summit Finland 2011, which is taking place in Tampere. He refactored Sojourner a little to load conference details from config files rather than having URLs hard-coded, so now it'll be much easier to support other conferences in the future. Thanks!
• Topi also maintains a separate timetable application named Meegosummitfi, written using QML; if you decide you don't like Sojourner, check it out.

New in 0.2 (and 0.2.1)

• Each day has its own sub-header in event lists.
• Event tracks are colour-coded, so you can easily see which track an event is on.
• When viewing an event, you can now see which of your favourite events it clashes with. Thanks to Joaquim Rocha for contributing this feature!
• Due to a dependency problem, some users got an ugly plain Gtk+ application, rather than a beautiful native Hildon application; this should be fixed.
• Some users found that the application refused to start, throwing an ImportError: No module named gio exception. This has been fixed in 0.2.1.

Where?

• Install it from Fremantle extras using the Application Manager on your N900.
• You currently have to activate Extras-testing to install Sojourner, because there's a ten-day quarantine period before applications can be promoted to Extras proper.
• If you're happy with the application, please vote for it on its Maemo extras package page. If you're dissatisfied, suggestions are also most welcome, as (of course) are contributions.
• Development happens on Gitorious or GitHub. There's a TODO list on the Gitorious wiki.
• Bugs happen in Will's inbox.
