This has been a big week for NoFlo, the flow-based programming environment for JavaScript. Yesterday we released NoFlo 0.4, which added support for running flow-based programs in web browsers. And today we launched our NoFlo Development Environment effort on Kickstarter. Before continuing, make sure to watch the video!

Hildon Foundation Board minutes for meeting on July 16th
The Hildon Foundation is the relatively new body which has taken on legal responsiblity for maemo.org from Nokia. The newest, recently elected, board had their first meeting on IRC to appoint Andrew Flegg as Chair, Craig Woodward as Secretary, win7mac as Treasurer and Ryan Abel as Comms Officer. Rüdiger Schiller is also on the board.
The meeting was a fairly run-of-the-mill handover meeting, focusing on logistics; with Joerg Reisenweber representing the Council and, thus, the users of maemo.org. Unfortunately, due to an administrative oversight, the meeting wasn't pre-announced, but this will be corrected for the next meeting.

Over recent years, libferris has been using Qt to mount some Web stuff as a filesystem. I have a subclass of QIODevice which acts as an intermediary to allow one to write to a std::ostream and stream that data to the Web, over a POST for example. For those interested, that code is in Ferris/FerrisQt.cpp of the tarball. It's a bit of a shame that Qt heavy web code isn't in KIO or that the two virtual filesystems are not closer linked, but I digress.
The incoming Hildon Foundation Board of Directors held their first meeting on Tuesday July 16th, 2013 at 19:09 UTC. The meeting was held in #maemo-meeting on the Freenode IRC network. A voice meeting to make it official by Pennsylvania incorporation laws was also held.
As you have probably heard on Twitter from the official Jolla account, the first Jolla will ship with Wayland. In that discussion, some worries are brought up about Python support with Qt 5. Here are my personal thoughts of how I see mobile Python development moving forward with the new technology. So first some background information:

OpenRepos replaces MeeGo OBS with repositories for community apps
Basil Semuonov has posted to TMO to launch a new service for developers: "Remember the sweet holy time when Meego OBS was alive, and you had your very own personal repository? Well, that awesome time has returned!"
"OpenRepos is a community driven personal repository system for Harmattan and Sailfish operating systems. It provides a repository which can be enabled on your device."
The project still seems to be bootstrapping itself at the moment, but has a laudable goal. It would be good to see this combined, though, with existing efforts on a maemo.org OBS and fit into the existing maemo.org repository system; expanding it to support Harmattan - although that might leave Sailfish a little underhandled.
