Quim recently started a new thread on Talk.m.o about a tentative meeting for UX experts and Code writers in Barcelona in December (4th to 6th).Follow the thread and, if you are into Maemo as a UX enthusiast or Code writer, do register your interest in there.There is some budget for it and Quim is aiming at gathering around 50 people to it.Please note that nothing is confirmed yet.Based on the
Let's spread this piece of news:Quim just sent this e-mail, please participate and test apps!It'll be fun! :)Forwarding this email from the maemo community council to Summit Participants with an N900. Please re-forward to anybody you know using the N900.http://maemo.org/downloads/Maemo5has currently 22 applications ready for end users.http://maemo.org/packages/repository/qa/
Today I was thinking...that's been a while no post.Thus here I am showing you how to use your Nokia N900 as a broadband modem with Ubuntu 9.10.It's as easy as connect it via USB and choOse the "PC Suite mode".A Wizard should appear on Ubuntu with few easy step to configure the modem with your provider (attached are the screenshots to document the process).If the Wizard does not appear simply go
Today I was thinking...that well it's better to play for Maemo than working :)So I went ahead and, after a whole day fighting with bugs andpackaging, I am proud to say that finally Xournal is available forFremantle!!It's only an alpha version (as you can see from the screenshot above) and probably it won't even start on your SDK, but it's the very first step on the right path.You can find it in
Today I was thinking...that the community is amazing :)In order to port Xournal to Fremantle I needed my old code. Unfortunately that was on my old desktop in Italy lying in the lab there. And that box was shut down (ready to be wiped out!).I called my friends and told them to wait before wiping it out so that I could back up my stuff, but the machine is still off. I had to wait for people to
Today I was thinking...that it's time to start doing the port of Xournal for Fremantle.As you can see from the screenshot I've almost started from scratch, but it shouldn't take long before I can release a working version of it.Stay tuned.
Today I was thinking...that it's finally time to start working on porting Xournal to Maemo 5 and start implementing a few new features I had in mind lately.I've just installed it and t works OK on my system (Dell Mini 9), but it's kinda... slow :(I'll have to check if a better driver for its graphic card exists.I'll keep posting here updates about the development.
In few days (September, 10th) we will finally know who will be the members of the maemo.org community council.Please note the ".org", the council will help us (the community) make our voice be heard at Nokia and, vice versa, will help Nokia in listening to the Maemo community.This is going to be really helpful and the candidates seem to be really good.This also marks the first of this kind of
Today I have noticed that the Maemo team accepted my sponsorship application for the Maemo Summit 2008 in Berlin, September 19-20!I was not expecting it. I am very glad about this.I am still trying to figure out what to actually do there.My idea was to talk (but not a real talk where you listen and I speak,but rather a session where we both speak, ask and listen) about issues in porting desktop
UPDATE:Looks like too many people have the maemo extras-devel repository installed.They should not. Or at least, they should know what the extras-devel repo is.The maemo extras-devel repository is intended as a tool for the developer to test out its code before promoting it to the real maemo Extras repository (the one that's pre-configured in your tablet when you buy it, disable).Today I've
Cool finally they released it!Going to update.You can find it the usual place for the n810 and n800.Here you can find the announcement.
UPDATE: Daniel Stone and Quim Gil further explained the status of the OpenGL ES and Java support in the comments to this post.As they've pointed out, the title of my post is misleading in the sense that FOR NOW there is no support and no plan for it.The "WONTFIX" part is, thus, temporary.Daniel also went further and added a new comment to bug #1028I will leave the original post below unedited.--
