Holger Freyther was working on supporting Qtopia on OpenEmbedded paid by Trolltech for almost half a year, also benefiting the Freerunner effort. He is now contributing through OpenMoko, and I think he's doing a good job. We will increase our effort supporting free software. That will be expressed in actions instead of words. I'm planning to invite some of the heavy contributors using Qt in Freerunner to a round table session in Brisbane Australia. There are several things on the agenda, but it boils down to what Trolltech can improve. The only reason I as a community manger has not been faster, is all the work with the Nokia acquisition planning. When you include my usual travelling to free software events, there has been no time left to cover more bases. It is just interesting ;-) also it would be great if you could summarize in few words (if you feel like it) what are the future directions you and your team are going to accomplish for qtopia on FR? would be there a 'long term support' of any kind for qtopia on FR? Trolltech will further develop, improve and enhance Qtopia. When it comes to Freerunner, they are in charge for their plans and actions regarding software development. Of course there are cooperation with Trolltech engineering, community and some marketing activeties. And we are working on improvements there too. Personally I'm a fan of the Freerunner effort. When I got the opportunity, I've sponsored travels and accommodations for persons who present what can be done with Freerunner and Open Source on phones. Ole Tange was one of the speakers[1] at Open Nordic Mobile in June. He did a really good presentation of the Freerunner project and opportunities with free software on phones. 1. http://conference.ez.no/eng/Open-Nordic-Conference-2008/Program We have shown the prover of Qtopia with Neo 1973 since Open Source in Mobile September 2007. We also got a demo called Qt Everywhere with a touch screen program launcher using PictureFlow[2]. We are running that on Neo at all our trade shows and some of the free software events: 2. http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/PictureFlow?content=75348 Several people are working on the program for Mobile Developer Days 2008 (MDD) in Berlin 10-14 September (the conference will be from Sept 10-12, the weekend Sept 12-14 will be a code camp). Last year a couple of OpenEmbedded/Freerunner developers participated at MDD in Denmark. We hope that more can join this year in Berlin. I know more people will join from Nokia this year. 3. http://mobiledevices.kom.aau.dk/team_and_organization/events/mobile_developer_days_2008/ This was maybe not a short answer, but it shows that we are committed and really pleased with the progress of Freerunner and the use of Qtopia. The question now is when and how to organise our round table trip to Australia :) Best regards Knut Yrvin I very much appreciate the work Trolltech/Nokia have put in to the Qtopia release and the support which they have shown for the Freerunner project and open-source mobile in general - thank you, I always enjoy reading your posts on the mailing lists. I have a couple of questions - I read somewhere on the Openmoko wiki that (to paraphrase) enough of the Qtopia release is open-source that you can run it on the Freerunner without the proprietary components. I know Qt has gradually migrated to open licenses over the course of history, but what is the current licensing status of the Freerunner Qtopia release? How much is open-source and how much is proprietary? And if I can finish with a horribly vague question, how much of the open-source component of Qtopia is contributed back to the Openmoko project in a usable fashion (i.e. do the open-source components rely on a proprietary component [or Qtopia-specific feature such as writing directly to framebuffer] to work and therefore are only open-source in the context of Qtopia development, or are they totally portable to ASU/FSO with little or no modification?)

Are there any packages that are not necessary? I somehow find myself using up 99% of space after doing an 'upgrade'. I would like to install a bunch of python modules to run pyroute (has anyone has any luck with that so far?) but I keep running out of space. When I try installing the modules onto an sd card, I run out of space there as well. Do python modules normally take up over 400mb of space? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Warranty after fix for GTA02 GPS rework for SD card interference issue
(We have external LNA) It means it can track with a 16dBm reduction in GPS signal after it made the satellite acquisitions. So if you understood it will get a fix OK with the software workaround, and we saw many people report this, you should expect the tracking phase to work better than the acquisition phase since the signal requirement is relaxed by 16dBm. My experience has proven that this is not the case; yes the fix happens sooner, but if SD I/O occurs during tracking phase, wild errors are still introduced into the GPS signal sufficient to drive us off the map. Just sayin', not trying to stir the pot. I've been testing this GPS fix every day since it arrived, by tracking my progress to work, and if I zoom too closely (meaning there is more SD I/O on map refreshes) the GPS goes wild. That'll be interesting. But in the real world many thing perturb GPS tracking and sophisticated software filters are anyway used to try to see through excursions, I guess this will be the case for typical SD Card usage pattern here. My ride to and from work is through a wide open space with no obstructions, lots of blue sky, and for sure .. SD I/O still massively impacts GPS *accuracy*.

Holger Freyther was working on supporting Qtopia on OpenEmbedded paid by Trolltech for almost half a year, also benefiting the Freerunner effort. He is now contributing through OpenMoko, and I think he's doing a good job. We will increase our effort supporting free software. That will be expressed in actions instead of words. I'm planning to invite some of the heavy contributors using Qt in Freerunner to a round table session in Brisbane Australia. There are several things on the agenda, but it boils down to what Trolltech can improve. The only reason I as a community manger has not been faster, is all the work with the Nokia acquisition planning. When you include my usual travelling to free software events, there has been no time left to cover more bases. It is just interesting ;-) also it would be great if you could summarize in few words (if you feel like it) what are the future directions you and your team are going to accomplish for qtopia on FR? would be there a 'long term support' of any kind for qtopia on FR? Trolltech will further develop, improve and enhance Qtopia. When it comes to Freerunner, they are in charge for their plans and actions regarding software development. Of course there are cooperation with Trolltech engineering, community and some marketing activeties. And we are working on improvements there too. Personally I'm a fan of the Freerunner effort. When I got the opportunity, I've sponsored travels and accommodations for persons who present what can be done with Freerunner and Open Source on phones. Ole Tange was one of the speakers[1] at Open Nordic Mobile in June. He did a really good presentation of the Freerunner project and opportunities with free software on phones. 1. http://conference.ez.no/eng/Open-Nordic-Conference-2008/Program We have shown the prover of Qtopia with Neo 1973 since Open Source in Mobile September 2007. We also got a demo called Qt Everywhere with a touch screen program launcher using PictureFlow[2]. We are running that on Neo at all our trade shows and some of the free software events: 2. http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/PictureFlow?content=75348 Several people are working on the program for Mobile Developer Days 2008 (MDD) in Berlin 10-14 September (the conference will be from Sept 10-12, the weekend Sept 12-14 will be a code camp). Last year a couple of OpenEmbedded/Freerunner developers participated at MDD in Denmark. We hope that more can join this year in Berlin. I know more people will join from Nokia this year. 3. http://mobiledevices.kom.aau.dk/team_and_organization/events/mobile_developer_days_2008/ This was maybe not a short answer, but it shows that we are committed and really pleased with the progress of Freerunner and the use of Qtopia. The question now is when and how to organise our round table trip to Australia :) Best regards Knut Yrvin I very much appreciate the work Trolltech/Nokia have put in to the Qtopia release and the support which they have shown for the Freerunner project and open-source mobile in general - thank you, I always enjoy reading your posts on the mailing lists. I have a couple of questions - I read somewhere on the Openmoko wiki that (to paraphrase) enough of the Qtopia release is open-source that you can run it on the Freerunner without the proprietary components. Qtopia is 99.8% completely open source. Only some proprietary DRM components are not available. But who wants DRM anyway? I know Qt has gradually migrated to open licenses over the course of history, It was not really gradual at all. Qt has been GPL'd since Qt 2.2. but what is the current licensing status of the Freerunner Qtopia release? GPL. How much is open-source and how much is proprietary? Qtopia on the Neo is completely GPL. And if I can finish with a horribly vague question, how much of the open-source component of Qtopia is contributed back to the Openmoko project in a usable fashion (i.e. do the open-source components rely on a proprietary component None whatsoever. [or Qtopia-specific feature such as writing directly to framebuffer] to work and therefore are only open-source in the context of Qtopia development, or are they totally portable to ASU/FSO with little or no modification?) Yes. :) -- Lorn 'ljp' Potter Software Engineer, Systems Group, Trolltech, a Nokia company ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org

Also, I am loving the Qtopia handwriting recognition which I couldn't imagine using without a stylus! - HW echo/GSM interference canceling, unless this can be addressed sufficiently in software - As you say, a place to store a small stylus.

It'll only record standard-definition stuff from composite input, which altogether is about the least-optimal scenario for quality of video input. It'd probably be fine as a simple way to recording a VHS to a digital file to play on your iPod or PSP; this analogue hole overcomes the legal issues of DCSS when ripping a DVD, but that's about the only benefit (and a nebulous one, IMO). I guess it's simple for your granny to use. As I read it, the Neuros hardware requires a set-top box for recording TV, again with these concerns over video quality. It looks like Neuros may be concentrating on doing things this way because they're chiefly interested in this TI DSP chip, but for the rest of us there are lots of proper set-top boxes and digital video recorders. If you want an *open* set-top box that'll actually directly record digital TV then MythTV is much more interesting. You can find plenty of small, quiet PCs that are just as good as Neros' cute little box for living room use, and with MythTV you can record hi-def. There are lots of ways you could converge Openmoko and MythTV. Already you can connect to a webserver on your Myth box and schedule a recording (say if you're in the pub and your friend tells you I'm videoing the first episode of this series which starts tonight - it looks cool). Last time I checked (6 months ago?) progress was well underway for flash-based (YouTube-style) playback of your recorded shows; I think this is the best way for watching recorded video when you're away from home.

Re: Trolltech/Nokia and QTopia on FR [...]
How much is open-source and how much is proprietary? Qtopia on the Neo is completely GPL. And if I can finish with a horribly vague question, how much of the open-source component of Qtopia is contributed back to the Openmoko project in a usable fashion (i.e. do the open-source components rely on a proprietary component None whatsoever. [or Qtopia-specific feature such as writing directly to framebuffer] to work and therefore are only open-source in the context of Qtopia development, or are they totally portable to ASU/FSO with little or no modification?) Yes. :) Excellent. Until this constant bickering ceases on the mailing lists I will be using and developing for the Qtopia platform which so far seems to be setting the pace as far as usable software platforms are concerned. For those who aren't aware, there is a very good Qtopia SDK especially for the Neo architecture available from the Qtopia website.

Re: Warranty after fix for GTA02 GPS rework for SD card interference issue
Jay Vaughan wrote: (We have external LNA) It means it can track with a 16dBm reduction in GPS signal after it made the satellite acquisitions. So if you understood it will get a fix OK with the software workaround, and we saw many people report this, you should expect the tracking phase to work better than the acquisition phase since the signal requirement is relaxed by 16dBm. My experience has proven that this is not the case; yes the fix happens sooner, but if SD I/O occurs during tracking phase, wild errors are still introduced into the GPS signal sufficient to drive us off the map. I can confirm such experience. Usually GPS track is very good however from time to time (usually when tangogps is reading tiles) it looks like it's receiving invalid data and the GPS really goes wild. I have to admit that the GPS works really well and I've seen Paweł Kowalak's track which was awesomely accurate! I hope that those tomorrow's patches will make the GPS experience even more enjoyable.

illume keyboard button (was Openmoko on Design)
Dear community and OM Powers That Be, I have read the Openmoko on Design thread with a certain alienation. I'll try to resist the temptation to pick up one of the many flame baits, but even after sleeping it over for a night, I feel inclined to comment on the issue here. First, I think that the complaints of users about the phone should know when it expects keyboard input, and automatically bring up the keyboard are right. The work going into this direction is correct. However, there are situations when a manual override is needed. The automatic detection could be wrong, for instance. But much more important: the user could be in a situation where keyboard input is theoretically possible, but not currently desired, because the keyboard is taking away screen real estate. This happened to me yesterday, when I was sitting in the train, and reading some code using the terminal application. So, in my opinion, the decision to remove the button is incorrect. Even more so, the strong reaction of the users should have been an indication that the decision was incorrect. It's always a good idea to listen to your users. It has been said that, since OpenMoko is an open project, the community has the chance to come up with a different solution. Now let's take a look at what the community (read: folks who actually write code instead of participating in lengthy discussions) did, the day the button was removed from illume: http://gitweb.openembedded.net/?p=org.openembedded.dev.git;a=blob;f=packages/openmoko-projects/illume/configure-keyboard.patch;h=589fe53f38afc59be95a13ed67a9f9d1fc452148;hb=HEAD They re-enabled the feature in their branch, and went on with their life. However, the patch stopped applying this morning, and I had to lock down illume to r170. Raster: if you could make the keyboard button a configuration option, as in the above patch, you'd make me and a couple of other people happy. Thanks in advance.

No routing, no offline maps. I'm a huge Openstreetmap fan but until OSM is ready for routing this will take at least five more years, probably ten. For all practical purposes the tile pre-caching works well. And in some hindsights tiles are far superior to vector data. Have a look at maps-for-free terrain or openpistemap terrain maps: no chance to keep all this data on a mobile device and no chance to generate maps on the fly, not even with a quad-core desktop CPU. Navit works supprisingly well. Very well with 'stolen/misused' MapRoute maps. And suprisingly well with OSM maps. OSM germany map is only 73M. No big deal. But i have to say, the navit build for openmoko is in bad condition. (easy to fix) But you are tight, they solve quite different problems. Navit is far better for orientation in cities or for cycling and walking. And why i (gta01 user) have to launch gllin via tangoGPS? Since month there is a script that lets you start gllin on the GTA01 automatically. I haven't used this button since a long time. There was just on user (Bwalack) who convinced me to keep the button a bit longer. And he paid for the lunch ;-) Ah, cool. Have to look for this some time. gypsy - yes gpsd - no (at least not as it is, maybe as compat interface) gpsd works well and gypsy is not network capable. What i don't like with gpsd is that it is so inflexible. Like adding a second gps receiver (ok, maybe not very useful) or shutting down the gps device while not used. Simply using your Neo's GPS from your Laptop does not work. I would prefer a bluetooth bridge. Then many more devices than a well pre configured box running gpsd can use it. And especially for an application like tangoGPS it is inherently broken: every nav-application wants to have the raw NMEA and not some preprocessed stuff and the concept to only be notified for certain events is nonsense because any nav-app wants to be notified about every data coming in. This concept just sucks CPU time. Well, you are probably right. A gpsd compatible data stream should probably be available for legacy/more fancy software. -- Drucken Sie diese Mail bitte nur auf Recyclingpapier aus.
