open phone (is openmoko the only option ?)

2008-08-17 Thread Erez D
hi

i have a Nokia N95 8GB. on the paper it is a great phone (if you look at the
hardware spec)
however the MMI/software sucks bigtime (like most phones on the market).

so i was thinking of getting an open phone.
1. what kind of open phones are there ? is openmoko the only option ?
2. what kinds of hardwares for an open phone are there ? is freerunner the
only option ?
3. specs, where to buy in israel, how much it costs.

in the past i looked at some motorolla phones running linux. but i saw that
getting them to compile on my one was not really viable,
so although they are supposed to be open, it is not open in my book.


thanks,
erez.

 Hi,

 The Israeli Post web site used to work with FF and Konqueror, but now it
 doesn't anyone knows how you can reach them and complain?


No fire broke out when I went to the postil.com website and began
navigating. It works fine for me in Firefox 3 on Kubuntu 8.04.

If you would tell us what specific features did not work for you then I will:
1) Try them and confirm
2) Write both email and snail mail to the post office complaining
3) Call the post office and complain
4) Go into the Technion branch of the post office and complain.

From what I remember, the problematic features are:

1. Trying to find out how much it costs to send a letter abroad using  
their price calculator (it never gets to the abroad part).


2. Problems in the branch locator (finding out opening hours of branches)

3. Feedback form.

And I did manage to find a browser where the feedback form works (I

Yes, sigh... It's a long and sad story. The company certainly have known 
better days with regards to netiquette, at least. 

AFAIK, Penguin IT is currently operated by Einat Koldoni. If you must I 
can send you her phone number in private, although I think you'll be

I received also a personal E-mail message from Doron Ofek with about the

Can anyone with journalistic leanings pick up the story and publicize it

i hope it is a lot more mature now, back than it was nice but not really
usable as a PDA ...
seeing the buzz around open-moko, i'm sure there are many developpers

2008-08-17 Thread Omer Zak
שלום פבלו,
א. אני חרש.
ב. במקום לחפש אותי בטלפון, פשוט תסיר אותי מרשימת התפוצה - ברור לך
מהתכתובת שאני מתייחס לפרסומיכם כאל דואר זבל.
ג. ודאי ידוע לך שההזמנה לפנות לצורך הסרה מרשימות תפוצה של דואר זבל אינה
יכולה להתקבל ברצינות, לאור העובדה שרבים מהזבלנים מנצלים פניות כאלה לרעה.
לכן התרופה היחידה היא מלכתחילה לא להפיץ דואר זבל.
ד. בקשר להאשמותיך כלפי גורמים אחרים שעובדים עם זבלנים - גם אם הן נכונות,
אין הדבר פוטר אותך מהחובה להמנע מלזבל בעצמך.
ה. ודאי ידוע לך, מההתכתבויות שמהן קצרתם את כתובת הדואל שלי לרשימות
התפוצה שלכם שמשמשות אותכם למשלוח דואר זבל, שאני מחייב כל מי ששולח לי
דואר זבל בתשלום פיצוי (שערכו כיום 2800 שח).  אם לא זכור לך, ראה ב:
http://www.zak.co.il/spamwarning.html
אם ברצונך לנקות את האווירה, אני ממליץ שהפיצוי ישולם בצורת תרומה למוסדות

* תרומה של 1400 שח לאגודת החרשים בישראל, אתר http://www.deaf.org.il/
בשני המקרים, תציין שהתרומה התבצעה בתור פיצוי על משלוח דואר זבל אליי,
שבחרתי להעבירו כתרומה אליהם במקום להנות ממנו אישית, ותבקש מהם שיעבירו
אלי אישור שאכן קיבלו מכם את התרומות, ושהן אינן חלק מהתרומות הרגילות שאתם
תורמים להם כל שנה (באם אתם תורמים להם).

Well, I'm not sure Omer did wisely when he published in a public mailing 
list this private response, but since it mentions me I'll respond as I 
did to Omar in private email previously:


AFAIK Hi Tech policy is that they will only contact you if you ever 
contacted them, gave your email in an exhibition booth to receive 
details and such. I'll admit, I don't like it very much, but I can't 
argue that if someone was interested in a course in the past or taken 
one it makes sense to let him know about additional courses.


I know of at least one instance when they screwed up, but I also know 
that it was just that - a screw up (a shabby outside contractor which 
they don't work with anymore).


So I'll tell you what, if anyone here is getting emails from the college 
and he or she never contacted Hi tech before, just forward the emails to 
me and I'll go chew their heads. They will listen to me, I promise.


Ah and Pablo, next time you have something to say to me, do it to my 
face, not my back, OK?

 I have a Canon Lide20 flatbed scanner, which is a bit larger than an A4
 paper. It takes electricity from the USB port, no need for power supply.
 Works great with Xsane (I use gentoo too).


I can second the recommendation for Canon Lide20. Works great here too.
(Mandriva).

Fedora infrastructure

2008-08-17 Thread Oron Peled
Hi,

As some of you already know, the Fedora project is having
major outage in the last few days.

The first formal announcement was Thursday evening and sounded
really bad:
  The Fedora Infrastructure team is currently investigating an
   issue in the infrastructure systems.

Which obviously sent everybody speculating...

What can currently be disclosed is:
 * Mirror managers asked specifically about serving content to users
   and were told that: there has not been a need to disable serving
   content to users.
 * The fedora account system is back to service since Saturday and
   some services are already working.
 * There are still many services that doesn't function (especially
   developer related services like package building etc.)

More info later, as we get to know more details.
