Enlightenment Foundation Library is a set of libraries designed to use the full potential of any hardware to do great UI. It has been designed with the embedded devices in mind, but it is a desktop class toolkit. Being done in C, it is providing a stable API/ABI, high efficiency, low memory and low battery usage for all kind of Linux device. Enabling development of modern UI adapted to any hardware that run Linux. These are the reason why Samsung use it in its Tizen devices. This talk after a short overview of what this libraries cover, will focus on last year improvement and where it is heading. It will also be an opportunity to learn about project around EFL that will help people develop product with it. And it would also be a good opportunity to see where EFL are used with some real use case.

This talk will cover the current status of Enlightenment, its features, what it’s missing, what its strengths and weaknesses are. It will also cover the direction of EFL, where it is at now and going in the future and how this relates to Enlightenment.

Enlightenment 0.17 was finally released on December 21 2012. This finally marks a return from focusing on libraries only to continuing windowmanager and desktop and applications. Enlightenment covers much more than just a window manager now, and it will be useful for the desktop users and community to know how much more and why. This will cover the current status of Enlightenment, it's features, what it's missing, what it's strengths and weaknesses are. It will also cover the direction of EFL, where it is at now and going in the future and how this relates to Enlightenment.

The Enlightenment Foundation Libraries is a UI toolkit designed for the embeded world in mind. We have now released version 1.1 after almost one year of work. This new version come with new features, a lot of speed and memory improvement, improved portability (we officially support Windows now) and no API or ABI break. It is a proof of the will of Enlightenment team to provide a reliable base for any serious work. We are now working on preparing a release for another set of important libraries and also finishing the last few items in the Enlightenment DR 17 todo list. With Tizen project and the growing contribution of Samsung, 2012 is going to be a very interesting year for the Enlightenment project and we will talk about just that.
