In the name of the FSO team, I wish all of you a Happy New Year! 2009 was a turbulent year for us, the year where Openmoko stopped supporting us and we had to show our belief in the project by just continuing with as much effort as possible. Thanks to all contributors and users of our APIs.
2010 will be a very critical year for FSO, perhaps the most critical ever -- since it's going to show whether we dive into oblivion being overrun by the "big guys", or whether we can establish and strengthen our niche. Middleware always has this problem of invisibility -- what people recognize are applications, not so much the driving software layers below. In order to be a bit more visible, I'd like all of you who are using FSO to join Ohloh[1] and state that you are either a contributor and/or using FSO. If all goes well, 2010 will be the year where we finally migrate all remaining FSO services to C (or Vala, to be exact), hence delivering a significant speedup for your FreeRunner (or whatever device you run FSO on). Let me also remind you that we have a PayPal account for donations, and are also available for contract work. Thanks for your support!
