A pleasant surprise.
I just upgraded a N800 from Chinook to a internal Diablo pre-release with apt-get. This was never supposed to work, but it just does anyway. Nice! It’s also quite easy: Put the device into R&D mode and disable the lifeguard reset. Make sure you have a lot of free space in / and/or move the apt archive [...]
Internet Tablet Video Converter Updated … Mac Support!
Thanks to this post on Nokia Beta Labs, I’ve just learned that there’s finally Mac support in the Internet Tablet Video Converter Application which is great news. I’ve used the Windows version in virtualization mode previously but am looking forward to testing this out now as well.
In other news… sorry it’s been a while. I’ve been pretty wrapped up with work and travel. More soon … have a Hava in the house and will have a report to share in the next few days.

PyMaemo has bdist_maemo support
PyMaemo has now bdist_maemo support inside distutils module. I'll try to bring more updates to the PythonLauncher application too.
Now about scratchbox, it seems that this new sbox-core-1.0.9 has a problem with packaging. It was impossible to generate PyMaemo using this version. I'll do some more further investigations.

The paradigm of the open organization
Forget now about labels and conventions: there is not such thing as free software, like there is not such thing as free speech. There are free developers and free speakers, and they are the ones setting the limits of freedom of their products and actions. If they are not free, how free can be the [...]

Maemo Keyboard on Qt4 applications
So, it seems I really like working with Input Methods.
This time I present you the Qt4 input context plugin for Hildon Input Method. So for now all Qt4 applications can make use of the maemo keyboard.
The code is still in its initial stage, but it's working so far. You can grab it from here.
Contributions are really welcome. If you want to help, please consider looking at the FIXME list on qhildoninputcontext.cpp :).
UPDATE: Thanks to Rodarvus to point me out that qhildoninputmethod.cpp didn't exist, changing to qhildoninputcontext.cpp :D
hello maemo!
As already announced by Murray, guenther and me have started working on maemo.org's bug database. A quick introduction for the maemo folks (most GNOME folks should know me already): I started triaging Evolution bugs back in 2004 when Evolution was still handled in Ximian's Bugzilla. Since that time I have never really ...
