 Being one of your resellers, I appreciate your effords.

Also being one of the resellers, I admit that I am not at all happy  
with how this list is treated. What I really expect is that the  
manufacturer who has a network of distributors takes care of listing  
them properly. And not through an anonymous community.

Unfortunately Sean declined to continue responsibility. So they simply  
linked to the wiki page. And only after insisting to at least inform  
the community, he wrote this request to find a volunteer.

Translated into bold words it means: We, Openmoko, have no interest  
in organizing anything that helps that our products are being provided  
to interested parties. And the community will solve our problems.

 The list of distributors badly needs an update. Not on the wiki, but  
 in
 real life.

 I think it is confusing for the customer to see so many shops listed,
 which are obviously not seem to be active anymore. English shop  
 Truebox
 and German Trisoft to mention just two (both still have a christmas  
 2008
 offer online...).

I think you just want less competition being visible - raising your  
own visibility :)
We have an open market and everyone can display his own offer as good  
as he likes.

And, (especially for the Freerunner) I believe in educated customers  
who can compare themselves what the best and most up-to-date offer is.  
And they can IMHO also convert and compare currencies.

 Besides, a lot of resellers quit selling Openmoko products, because  
 they
 are unhappy how it worked out in the past. Swedish Openmoko.se shop  
 and
 Spanish Blitz shop to mention just two.

It is the lack of sales organization of Openmoko which makes it  
difficult for distributors to continue to work with them.

Re: Distributor list

2009-11-30 Thread David Reyes Samblas Martinez
Really disappointing for us to , that Sean has decided to not maintain
an official distributors list,
This drain a little the interest on making business and be so
participative on making the marketing stuff Openmoko Inc has decided
not to do.
I really believe in the project of a freephone, I really believe in of
open hardware but I'm starting to not believe in Openmoko Inc.
And Sean please not argue than FreeRunner responsibilities has been
transfered to community because hardware are still sold  by Openmoko
Inc.

Hi,

It seems that the Dutch wikipedia contains some UTF-8 only characters,
which crashes the parser after all due to the system echo in the
exception handler. Changing the offending line to
os.system('echo \%s\  fault_articles.txt' %
title.encode(utf8))
fixes the issue.

 Hi,

 It seems that the Dutch wikipedia contains some UTF-8 only characters,
 which crashes the parser after all due to the system echo in the
 exception handler. Changing the offending line to
 os.system('echo \%s\  fault_articles.txt' %
 title.encode(utf8))
 fixes the issue.

 Tim
   
Well, thanks a lot Tim, the error occured also on the french parsing. 
And as I told before, I'm a Pythonbeginner, so the only way I found to 
avoid this was to ... remove the line, and keep the counter alive.

For information I finished rendering wfrench Wikipedia dump :
1 140 000 articles
61 false articles
parsing took 12 hours
rendering 18  hours

The image weights 1,6 Gigs, but only in one file (don't sure it is normal ?)
All this was done on a QuadCore 2.2Ghz, 2Go Ram.
I have to notice that the disk is NTFS, perhaps a ext4 would be better 
(my mount process dramatically worked during those processes).

The image is readable by the emulator, but as it was finish while I'm at 
the office, I could only try with a deported X display  (through SSH)
I Will post later (at home) when the file will be in the reader. Some 
friends will host the file, and I'm working on a automated script 
(weekly french image ?)

See you tonight

I realized that it does not apply to the latest version.
So I took the liberty of making a fork on github and merged it.
http://github.com/tbaumann/wikireader

I think I cracked the nut, but have a look if you would be so kind.
I'm not sure I completely got it.

 Sorry for the wait Thomas,
 I was working to solve the broken pipe issue that stops the parser
 when it finds an error. I have applied a quick and dirty workaround
 using try-catch technique and now the process will not stop  and just
 skip the faulty article and keeps going :) it logs the faulty ones in
 a text file (title and position) for posterior forensics, but my first
 guesses in that is not a codification issue with utf8 is more an
 unexpected formating tag the php parser don't know how to deal with
 Actually parsing the german wikipedia with more than 1.3 million
 articles

 Count: 1043000
 Failing count: 2

 and keeps going I supose we can sacrificate two articles for having
 one milion available now :)

 as you requested I uploaded my working compiled tools[1]  but without
 any xml sources it's about 113Mb, but if you have a working tools on
 your system you just have to change
 host-tools/offline-renderer/ArticleParser.py by the attached on this
 mail and you can forget to cry like a child that his ice cream has
 fall to the floor when after more than 24h parsing hundred of thousand
 articles pased the process you see this ugly python error backtrace
 blablabla and not your desired file :)

 by the way the faultyarticles.txt is saved at same
 host-tools/offline-renderer directory, (i'm too lazy to put a
 parameter for change that and I hardcoded the name of the file ,
 yes... don't waste typing on correct that bad habit, I know)

 If you have curiosity of what articles on the german wiki are causing
 troubles
 on dewiki-latest-pages-articles.xml (date 2009-11-20)

 ~Storck Bicycle

 ~Musculus serratus posterior inferior

 Regards I hope I will upload the German wikipedia on Sunday... and
 will be available on Monday, sorry for the wait but my Asymmetric DSL
 is very asymmetric and upload 1.5-2 Gb (expected file size) will take
 a bunch of hours.

 For those than wants to compile his own , go for it :) the
 Quickreference in the doc directory on the souce is all you need to
 start working,  just remember than if you have a 64 bit system you
 will have to follow the 64 bits method to compile the tools,

 As the Mailing list seems to be broken (or users started hibernating
 for
 winter...) I find by myself the way to compile things step by step.
 I'm for now rendering the French Wikipedia. As it started a few
 minutes
 ago,
 the result will be availabel during the weekend (I hope).

 I'll also post the way I managed to do so ! (I'm at the office for

[All] A Chance for some exposure

2009-11-30 Thread Nick
I subscribe to a very popular YouTube channel
(http://www.youtube.com/user/phonedog) that does reviews for mobile phones
and other tech gadgets. They have recently posted a video asking for people
to submit their own video about their favourite gadget, with the best
reviewer having a chance of the getting on their home page.

I thought this would be a perfect opportunity for some exposure of the Neo
FreeRunner (or even WikiReader) device.

Does anyone with a YouTube account and who is motivated enough to produce a
review want to submit a video?

Have a look at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyCyVU4n6sY

Re: OT: Where can I meet a female companion with similar interests and personality /in person/?

2009-11-30 Thread Brolin Empey
2009/11/12 Brolin Empey bro...@brolin.be

 Hello list,

 I am writing a follow-up/update to my original post just over 2 months
 later.

 What has changed since my original post?


Another update.  What has changed since my last update?


   1. I stopped hiring Dave McCormick because I did not want to spend so
   much money when I did not even know what to have him help me with.
   2. I signed a tenancy agreement to rent a 1-bedroom apartment in Ladner
   Village:  my tenancy begins on 2010-01-01.  Of course, I am already having
   regrets because I am afraid the apartment is too small, it has electric
   heating, it is on the 3rd floor but there is no elevator, I do not know
   where I will store my bicycle even though I almost never use it any more,
   ... Oh well, at least I chose something.  It could be much worse.
   3. I finally upgraded my FreeRunner from QtMoko v11 to v14.  That was a
   huge hassle (because I had to manually back up my QtMoko v11 installation,
   reflash QtMoko v14, then restore everything I needed from my backup) and
   took at least 8 hours over 1 weekend, but it was worth it because the video
   is much more responsive with QtMoko v14 than v11.  QX still does not seem to
   work, though:  I still always end up having to remove my FreeRunner’s
   battery after trying to use QX because my FreeRunner becomes unusable.
   (fail)  Debian needs to update the version of mc in lenny/stable because
   their current version has a regression which prevents mc from listing the
   contents of some tar archives, including the one I made to back up my QtMoko
   v11 installation. (fail)
   4. I still have not bought a MicroSDHC card so I still cannot install
   plain Debian so I still do not have a working X server so I still cannot run
   Navit, but my parents gave me a Garmin nuvi 755T road navigiation system
   (commonly and very imprecisely called “a GPS”), so I at least have a working
   road navigation system for now.  I used the nuvi 755T to drive to work
   today:  it seems to work OK, but the text-to-speech (TTS) engine is poor:
   it sounds very mechanical and would probably never be mistaken for a real
   human voice.  I have heard much better TTS voices, but I cannot remember
   their names so I cannot cite any examples.
   5. I have actually used Xubuntu 9.10 at work (it is *so* stable:  it has
   unexpectedly locked up only once so far! :P), but still not Ubuntu 9.10 nor
   Kubuntu 9.10.  Of course, making Xorg use 16-bit colour depth instead of the
   default 24-bit so the 4 MiB video card can drive a 17 LCD monitor at its
   native 1280x1024 mode was a huge hassle involving hours of playing
   (experimenting) with *xorg.conf*, checking *Xorg.0.log*, comparing and
   copying from *xorg.conf*s on other PCs with the same model of LCD
   monitor, ...
   6. I actually messaged one of the people (Janet) from the Ubuntu
   Vancouver LoCo, but she still has not replied and I have not met her since I
   messaged her.
   7. I bought a used Canon PowerShot G6 for about 275 CAD including
   shipping via an eBay auction because I did not want to spend 550 CAD on a
   new PowerShot G11 (the current model), which will be worth less than half
   that in 5 years or less.  Of course, I am already having regrets, but I
   probably would have regretted buying a G11 too because the G6 is sufficient.

I am still constantly overthinking, obsessing, overwhelmed with ambivalence,
indecision, and too much information.  I still have no female companion.  I
have no close friends in Ladner other than maybe Miles Husoy, but I have not
even seen him for months.  I am not surprised, though, because I continue to
isolate myself.  I always feel like I have too much crap to do but I still
lay in my bed at home and inevitably fall alseep because I am tired of
overthinking and obsessing and am too ambivalent to do some of the endless
things I should be doing.  Now I have to prepare for my Class 5 passenger
vehicle road test on 2010-01-22 because there is a new and incredibly
illogical law in British Columbia starting on 2010-01-01 that drivers with a
Class 7 passenger vehicle driver’s licence, such as me, cannot use
electronic devices, including road navigation systems, while driving because
they are “too distracting”.  Reality check:  which is more distracting:
looking away from driving to read a paper map or driving directions, or not
looking away from driving because the road navigation system speaks to me so
I do not need to look at its display?  I do not use cell phones while
driving because I know I cannot focus sufficiently on driving if I am trying
to have a conversation with someone else in my car, so how could I have a
conversation with someone via a cell phone while driving?  I always pull
over and stop before using a cell phone.

[WikiReader] French Image

2009-11-30 Thread Thomas Hocedez
Hi people.

I manage to generate a French image for the wikireader .. but it is not 
usable. A sad Failed to load article  is always displayed.
My image strangely a single 1.4Go file ... any idea ?

Second bad news for tonight : as I dismantle the WR to be more 
convenient to change SD card (by soldering batteries outside), I check 
for some room to add leds to backlight the screen. In one hand there is 
no way to backlight screen (with AAA batteries I mean), in the other 
hand, my touchscreen doesn't respond anymore ! I will only use the 
random button  'till I found some spare parts (I think the ribbon 
might be broken) and I don't want to let the project down right now !

I'm regenerating an image. using lasts scripts. We'll see tomorrow.

Tilmasn did you manage to generate something good ?

[QtMoko] triangle icon on shelf (top bar)

2009-11-30 Thread Brolin Empey
Hello World,

I am using QtMoko v14 on a US FreeRunner (rev A6).  Ever since I switched
from Speak Out Wireless to Fido, QtEI shows a triangle icon on the shelf
(top bar).  This triangle icon did not appear when I used Speak Out
Wireless.  I Googled for “qtopia phone triangle icon” and found an IRC
loghttp://logs.nslu2-linux.org/livelogs/qtopia/qtopia.20080809.txt(search
for “triangle”) claiming the triangle icon means roaming.  Is this
true?  If yes, how can I be roaming when I am (AFAIK) in my home area?  I
live and work in Delta, British Columbia, Canada.

Thanks,
Brolin

 Hey Brolin! I have the same issue, also with Fido. For reference, I am
located in Vancouver BC. It's been like this with even the earlier
versions of qtopia. My cell bill never shows roaming time, so it's not
as if i'm charged for it. I've wanted to get on the phone with Fido and
see if it's their end, but haven't made time (i hate talking to tech
support). I recall seeing this in *every* stack since I got the
freerunner launch week. Even on the current SHR, under modem info in
settings, it shows roaming. Seeing as how it only showed up after you
switched to Fido and seeing as how almost no one else complained it
leads me to believe it's a Fido problem.

[All] New version of the orrery program available

2009-11-30 Thread Ken Young
A new version of the orrery program has been uploaded to the
GForge site, and to opkg.org.   There are not many new user
features - the Monthly Moon Calendar is prettier, and both
moon calendars now show Blue Moons (including the one on
New Years Eve, this year).   Finger friendliness has been
improved in a few areas.

Several worthless features (stylus mode, etc) have been
dropped.

One of the most commonly cited bugs, which caused the program
to fail if it was run on a phone whose locale had been set
to a language which uses commas, rather than periods, as
the decimal place separator, has been fixed.   Thanks a bunch
to Heiko Stubner, who submitted a patch that fixed this bug.

Joshua Rosen make new configuration files for the GNU automake
tools, and VERY PATIENTLY showed me how to make them work.
The source tarball is no longer a pathetic parody of a
source file distribution.

Please note - I mistakenly uploaded a version labelled 2.8
to the GForge site.   I can't get rid of it; please ignore it.
The 2008.x packages labelled 2.8 and 2.7 on the GForge site
are actually both 2.7.

Here's a list of the changes:

Version 2.7:
New user features:

   Monthly moon calendar now uses moon images.
   Also, both moon calendars now show Blue
   Moons, using the common definition that
   a Blue Moon is the second full moon in a
   calendar month.

   Enlarged and re-arranged buttons on the
   opts page, for enhanced finger
   friendliness.

   Got rid of stylus mode.   The program is
   always in finger mode now.   There was
   never a significant difference between the
   two modes anyway.

   The program now always saves configuration
   changes in nonvolatile memory.   This is
   the standard behavior for handheld
   applications.

Bug Fixes:

   Build-related files completely redone so
   as to use GNU autotools properly.

   Program no longer crashes if run on a
   phone who's locale is set to a language
   which uses a comma for the decimal point.

   Improved handling of zoom gestures which
   originate in the panning area.   Before
   this fix, it was difficult or impossible
   to zoom an area near the horizon, because
   such a gesture would be interpreted as a
   press in the panning area, which would
   call up the azimuth compass.

   Removed the call to the popt library that
   parsed the command line arguments.   This
   caused problems, because not all Freerunner
   software stacks shipped with the popt
   library.   The program now parses its
   command line arguments with no call to any
   library.

   Fixed a bug which made it difficult to
   use the arrows at the bottom of the monthly
   moon calendar to change months.
