Title

GNOME Contacts/folks BoF

Description

A birds of a feather session for the people interested in GNOME Contacts, libfolks and contacts integration on the desktop to re-convene after the IM, Contacts and Social hackfest and discuss the progress which has been made and what still needs doing.

The scope of this BoF is limited to the contacts-related aspects of the topics discussed at the hackfest. The IM-related aspects may be better off in their own BoF session.

The BoF will cover the progress of the new GNOME Contacts application, what still needs doing in the application, the changes which have been made to libfolks for it, and what changes still need to be made in time for GNOME 3.2. Contacts integration into GNOME Shell will be covered similarly.
