Salve Jose and all new or old subscriber of this list! As much as I'm happy that new people join this mailing list, please consider that some hundreds or thousands people are on this list and repeating low level question will generate noise.
So again, I'm very happy that many new people find the way to the Openmoko community mailinglist - but we do have a small problem - Sean, the project leader and the official people are very busy to prepare the first hard/software shipping of Neo1973/OpenMoko. So the information for newcommers like www.openmoko.com with http://www.openmoko.com/press/index.html or even Seans anouncement from Saturday: http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/announce/2007-January/000000.html is not the best way to inform and wellcome new people to give them the full information and support to join the community. Just to write "Is google down? " will not help the new ones to join, and it is contra productive it does scare/dismotivate them to become active and charing productive ideas or solutions. So we, the OpenMoko community, should write an wellcome article what information have been collected, which ideas and possibilies we have thought/find out yet... so that the newcommers will not flood our list with the same questions again and again. > I am working in some pygtk projects and I would like to know if it is > built-in the device? When I look on openmoko.com/org this question from Jose is absolutly understandable - the information about python and OpenMoko/Neo1973 is hidden in our mail archive. We could anser, please search like this: http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&q=python+site%3Aopenmoko.org But that's still not perfect, or just use ipkg install phython would not be the best answer for him - he has experiances in pygtk, a concrete answer about what is supported, how much python is used for the shipped first core functions - call manager, adressbook.... and how python is supported in the SDK and documentation... A good and informative answer as wellcome to this list, would make him think: "Hey great - this is an interesting device, but also a community that I like to join - I have a feeling that together with this guys it will be a fruitfull and funny cooperation" So everybody who are on this list for a longer time should consider that our power will be based on a good and efficent cooperation - The OpenMoko community could fast grow up to 10.000 or more people who like to chare their ideas and solutions. Don't be afraid about 10.000 or more people and don't think 10 good hackers would be more efficent! So even when our list got be flooded, stay friendly and please take care to welcome the nee people and give them a good information and a good feeling - motivate them to join and help to do this in a efficent way. One welcome message, written by us - maybe as webpage on openmoko.org and/or welcome mail for all new subscriber of the list would be a good thing - IMHO. To give this welcome message a stronger community feeling we all could sign this welcome message - maybe with a small statment about us, ore skills or what we are focusing to do with OpenMoko/Neo1973. I don't want to start this thread to have a theoretical discussion whith tools would be the best (could be done sometimes later), when you answer, please focus on what we can do until the February 20th whith our mailinglist, the wiki http://www.linuxtogo.org/gowiki/OpenMoko to give everybody new a very warm welcome to our community. Cheers, rob PS: We can also write a little more to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenMoko and translate it in much more languages ;) _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
