FeedMemphis in car entertainment preview
Over the last months ProFUSION worked hard on building Memphis, an in car entertainment system. Now we can finally publish the first preview of it, it is real and runs on couple of hardware we will demo later, including Nokia N810 (OMAP 2420) and Freescale iMX27, iMX31 and iMX35 with displays ranging from 4 to 7 inches, from 640×480 to 800×480.

Fremantle maemo-select-menu-location change
While working on the maemo.org package interface, I noticed that quite a few package's developers didn't notice the changes in Fremantle regarding maemo-select-menu-location.
Why I love Nokia’s internet tablets
The wild bunch at maemo talk know well by now that I've been a hardcore advocate of Nokia's internet tablets ever since a fellow engineer quietly placed a preproduction 770 on my desk a few years ago. I have been on a rabid one-man mission to promote the touchscreen tablets ever since [...]

Emulating multi-touch using two tablets
Kaj Grönholm's post about multi-touch motivated me to implement my previous idea of using two tablets to emulate multi-touch input (which should allow for 2 "real" multi-touch cursors). So, I quickly hacked together a modified version of the SimpleSimulator from TUIO_CPP and loaded it on a N800 and a N810. The result works quite well: (link to the video)
Again, the multitouch version of NumptyPhysics uses two cursors for dragging and three cursors for deleting, which works nicely on a multitouch table. Oh, and if you crank up the volume on that video, you will hear the sounds that we have added to NumptyPhysics recently in order to give some audible feedback about the user actions. Stay tuned for more in a few days.
Qt everywhere – Qt/s60 demos on Maemo
After run the cool Qt/s60 demos produced by Ariya on my phone, I decided to test if Qt is really cross-platform . Well, I’ve to say that I’m really impressed, the demos run smoothly on my desktop and as you can see below on my n810
N810 Multitouch F-F-F-Fun
I'm back from vacation, summer went fast as always! Tried to stay away from computers, spending the time with family & friends and enjoying the weather while it lasts... But I did have little coding fun also, testing how well "multitouch" would work in N810 ;-)
Here comes video:
Update: Like all respected magicians, I'll show how this trick works for the ones who didn't already know the behavior of (resistive, single-touch) touchscreens under multiple touches. As thp first commented, it is "using the 'merged' blob position that you get with the single touch screen and interpreting it as the middle of two or more equal-pressure points".
Now here is a video showing the same demo in PC, with "cheat mode" turned on:
So it's mostly useless... but somewhat f-f-f-fun :)

* Help in the Summit merchandise design.
* Add banners/web badges in your website, put flyers in your work place/university/user group.

* Spread the word about the summit, among your friends and colleagues.
Ideas, thoughts ? Come discuss with us
maemo.org August 2009 sprint: committed tasks
The monthly maemo.org sprint meeting was held today (first Tuesday of the month). The committed tasks, and meeting actions, are now published in the usual location:
MAFW, what’s up?
Some weeks ago, Maemo 5 Beta 2 SDK was announced. Eleven weeks passed since the first version. During this time, we have been working hard in MAFW, the multimedia framework that comes in Maemo 5. Most of the work we did consisted of bugfixing and improving the framework, while keeping as much as possible the current API.
Maemo Summit 2009: Help finalize merchandise!
Please have a look at this thread at Maemo Talk and help us finalize the design and items that will available at Maemo Summit 2009! We'd love to have your input and ideas -- and come up with some merchandise that all of us will really want.
Styling the packages interface
If you know HTML, CSS or have a penchant for design; there's an opportunity to help finish off the packages interface for its intended audience of developers, maintainers and community testers before Fremantle's released.
To get involved, start posting your ideas in this talk.maemo.org thread.

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.
gPodder 0.17.0 for Maemo 4 and Fremantle progress
The podcast client gPodder has had its 0.17.0 release some days ago, and after some testing in Extras-Devel (thanks to Dan Ramos) we fixed some last bugs. Most notable changes are an improved feed update logic and UI wording fixes (thanks to timeless for reporting these). Now it's time to hit the street, so gPodder 0.17.0-2 should appear in Maemo Extras on your tablets running Chinook and Diablo today. Please report any problems you find. Still have not got gPodder?

Memphis on real hardware: Nokia N810
This is a followup of my previous post, but now running on Nokia Internet Tablet N810 with Maemo. We interleaved it with parts of screen casts so you can note it’s very close to the desktop edition, even animated video thumbnails works fine:
We even managed to convince Mariana to do the initial talk!
Request for comment: Community Engagement
I'm going to take a break from my series on the data cloud and interrupt with a request from my readership. I'm putting together a presentation proposal for the Maemo Summit 2009, titled "From corporations to communities: responsible and effective engagement" and could use some opinions and experience.

FeedLGPL Python bindings for Qt released
I am very happy to announce that our OpenBossa labs have just released LGPL licensed Python bindings for Qt, endorced by Nokia. It is our first product being released as part of our newly founded Qt Labs Americas, and we hope they will be well received by the Python and Qt communities.
Though, not being part of the Python team, I have long followed the project and tried to encourage the team and their work, and I think that they can all be very proud.
The product is not a binding alone, but also a Binding Generator and an API Extractor, which should make it easier to generate bindings for other languages as well as easily bind other Qt libraries, and make them accessibly through Python.
Please check out the brand new site: http://www.pyside.org

FeedLGPL Python bindings for Qt released
I am very happy to announce that our OpenBossa labs have just released LGPL licensed Python bindings for Qt, endorced by Nokia. It is our first product being released as part of our newly founded Qt Labs Americas, and we hope they will be well received by the Python and Qt communities.
Though, not being part of the Python team, I have long followed the project and tried to encourage the team and their work, and I think that they can all be very proud.
The product is not a binding alone, but also a Binding Generator and an API Extractor, which should make it easier to generate bindings for other languages as well as easily bind other Qt libraries, and make them accessibly through Python.

FeedDebConf thoughts, part two: On cross-compilation environments
This post is part two of my DebConf thoughts series, first post here. At DebConf we also attended three talks directly related to something we use quite often in Maemo and Mer: cross-compilation. The first was by Riku Voipio/suihkulokki about Scratchbox 2 (mirrored by me as I can't find the original URL) - which was also a maemo.org talk like ours, as well as the round-table session on Multiarch and a talk by Wookey on Crossbuilding on Debian for a derived distro.

Mussorgsky 0.2
There should be a new version of Mussorgsky available in Extras-devel.
Changes mainly in the album-art part of the program:
- Allowed to choose manually the album art for a specific album
- Moved “Automatic retrieval” of album art to a menu option
- Better information in the automatic download dialog
- Changed the first screen layout/buttons and added a window for the album art.
On the technical side, more things are asynchronous and i discovered how elegant is the code using the “yield” statement. As usual, feedback is welcome.

Proposal: XSBC-Bugtracker in debian package
While implementing the maemo.org packages interface, I wanted to add a link to the bugtracker for a package or project. Eventually integrating bug reporting/searching, but more on that later. As all information is gathered from the debian packages themselves, it would make sense to have the bugtracker URL available in the control file.

The new Nokia N900 has been announced. How it sounds? Taking in account that comes with Maemo 5 and therefore MAFW, it should sound very fine
Maemo5 and Nokia N900
Oh finally we announced this thing. Still can't talk about it that much :(The video looks great though :)

FeedSoftware freedom lovers: here comes Maemo 5
There are few days in your life where you feel part of something historic. Today is one of these days for me, and I believe also for any software freedom lover out there. Maemo 5 has been launched together with its damn cool hardware body, the N900. It contains everything you knew about the Internet [...]
N900 announced
Ifeel good. It is now publicly announced. See www.maemo.nokia.com.
More to follow.
See you at Nokia World, Maemo Summit and OSIM.
Maemo based Nokia N900 phone
So the Maemo-based Nokia N900 is finally announced. We are finally free to tell everyone the cool stuff we have been cooking all this time. My work on this device was mostly with UPnP/DLNA and MAFW, not counting my work from n800 that was re-used. GUPnP will soon be in your pocket, so those out there who doubt the greatness of this library, time to face the facts. :)
So now is the time to ask all the questions you have on our soon-in-the-shelves mobile phone. :)
Theme Maker for N900
N900 is now out and we all want to make it even cooler. Even more My device than it already is. To the majority of the world that probably moot point as you don't yet have one, but you will. Soon. And then you want to make it more You. Enter Theme Maker N900.
Proposal: XSBC-Bugtracker in debian package
While implementing the maemo.org packages interface, I wanted to add a link to the bugtracker for a package or project. Eventually integrating bug reporting/searching, but more on that later. As all information is gathered from the debian packages themselves, it would make sense to have the bugtracker URL available in the control file.

Corporates are evil.
After the N900 has been announced. I was saying this to a friend of mine:
[Me] so
[Me] remember our discussion about a Linux powered phone ? ;)
[Me] sorry I convinced you that Linux on phones is a no while I knew we were doing it :)
The first Maemo powered phone
The wait is over, today, N900 was announced. It is the first Maemo powered cellphone and represents a long way since the first version of Maemo came out.
Now I don’t wanna be bugging you around with another post explaining how much I like what was announced but I’d leave a lacuna in my blog if I didn’t write anything at all.
So, I’d just like to say I’m proud and happy to be part of such a great team that, along with others, contributed to bring in this great piece of technology that represents another step in the history of GNU/Linux in mobile phones.
Viva o Maemo!
Maemo 5 is out

I'm so proud of what we have achieved in maemo team.
A reason to get up in the morning
Ever since Nokia contacted me about improving Tinymail to make it suitable for their Modest E-mail client have they given me a reason to get up in the morning, to work on something of which I knew would someday kick ass.
N900: a great milestone for the free software community

Images from n810 to the Web
New debs allowing you to copy to flickr, 23hq, vimeo, youtube etc from the n810 are available. The next step is closer integration, tapping into the "send to" menu to let you send any image file to these places. Hey, its just a filesystem now ;)
