"How do you use multitasking in N900?" That's the question asked by Peter Schneider, head of the Marketing in Nokia's MeeGo Devices team. "Obviously, multitasking in the Nokia N900 is rather decent (my way of saying it's the best out there). BUT, are you making full use of it? Help me to understand how you use the multitasking feature. ... [More]

Community Council member status/affiliation change

0
0

The Community elections are already underway, but in order to fully comply with stating affiliation as per the Community Council election rules and in agreement with the rest of the Community Council, I want to state to the wider community that starting with September 2010, I, Attila Csipa, will be joining Forum Nokia's support arm engaging in developer support with a pinch of technology advocacy. This change will hardly affect maemo.org in any way - your maemo.org resident Nokian contact is still Quim Gil (qgil) and I certainly will keep on working on my OSS/community projects and trying to make the Maemo/MeeGo ecosystem a better place for developers and users.

Open letter of support for Python on the Maemo/MeeGo platform

0
0

After receiving feedback from the community, including developers who are trying to get their software into Ovi Store, it is the opinion of the Council that the unexplained restriction on dependencies between Ovi and Extras - and in particular the availability of Python as a platform for Ovi Store applications - represents a serious threat to the success of Maemo, MeeGo and Ovi Store.

  It will come as a surprise for many community members and users that Python is still not an officially supported language/runtime on the Maemo nor MeeGo platforms, despite the huge number of  Python applications currently in Extras, and even though they base on the work of Nokia's own PyMaemo team, plus two Qt bindings and a GTK+/Hild...

0

The old, deprecated Qt4.6 libraries that had the libqt4-maemo5-prefix have been removed from extras-devel as announced a month ago.

The packages depending on them were also removed to avoid broken dependency chains and non-installable packages. Should the original authors or new maintainers decide to update the packages to the current version of Qt, the sources will remain available through the source repositories.   Note that this deprecation does not affect the lib...

Nokia response to MyNokia subscription in PR1.2

0
0

The Maemo Community Council raised with Nokia the issue that upgrading to Maemo 5 PR1.2 forces the user to subscribe, via SMS, to the "MyNokia" service. The user has no ability to opt-out: it's either subscribe or don't use the device. Nokia have, to their credit, engaged in the bug report about this, #10366, and have also sent us an offi... [More]
