Using the SEE Widget
We've taken care to ensure that the widget can work offline without needing an Internet connection, since many attendees at SEE 2009 will be roaming and downloading schedule data or twitter feeds may not be desirable. The schedule data is bundled in the widget so no connection is needed. However, there's also a built-in update feature in the menu that allows the user to check for any updates when it is convenient to go online.
Source
If you are a developer interested in viewing the widget source code, it is available in the installation package. Just change file extension to .zip and unzip the file on your computer in the usual way.
The widget consists of several components - UI code (main.js), schedule code (Schedule and Session classes), RSS reader for twitter feeds and auto-update code. We use WRTKit for the UI code with a custom Symbian theme.
The SEE 2009 widget should work on all Symbian devices that support Web Runtime, regardless of screen size and input methods. On smaller screens, we maximise the use of the screen real-estate by using smaller fonts, margins and paddings. For devices with larger touch screens we use a separate stylesheet, ensuring the app can be easily operated through the touch interface.
If you are interested in contributing fixes to demo widgets, the widget is stored on the Symbian Mercurial repository here.
All code written specifically for this widget is in the public domain - no license is required for any use. However, a number of files in the package have their own license (e.g. WRTKit). Please refer to license text in source files for details.
