Usability team?
Hello! I've been really interested in interface usability and design since I've been taking this HCI course at my university. I've been interested in and following OpenMoko development a little. I'd love to know if and how I can get involved with the OpenMoko project with respect to interface usability and design. Is there a specific team that does this sort of work? Thanks in advance, Justin ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Suggestions for future hardware revisions
Hello community, what do you think of the following possible new hardware additions: 1) NFC (Near Field Communication), see http://www.nfc-forum.org/home This seems likely to become a new craze in the mobile industry - perhaps it is a good idea to already keep an eye on it (I think that Nokia already brought out a phone with such capability) and start looking out for hardware components with open drivers or perhaps even try to initiate such endeavours. 2) More than one (at least two) SIM card slots, preferably active at the same time (!). There are SIM card splitters available, but they only allow one card to be selected at startup time (because the phone of course does not know about the two cards). BTW, did anyone have any luck with putting such a splitter into the Neo? I'm using multiple cards in different phones (business, private, SMS, i.e. depending on use and contract/plan) and it would be just great to have a phone that allows to select which SIM (i.e. contract) to use on-the-fly and also makes it possible to be reachable under all the different numbers on the same device. There are phones which support additional multi SIM add-ons (mostly integrated in a larger battery backpack), but AFAIK there is no phone that does this out-of-the-box. Even if there were - I'd very much like my Freed Phone to be able to do that! ;o) Greetings to all ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

dev mess
Hi. Updated OE/OM with MokoMakefile a few times. - dropbear has no /etc/rc*.d/ links anymore There is a postinst script, tho - matchbox-window-manager does not get linked w/ update-alternatives - libmatchbox is gone So I have no X. Together, I had an image in qemu that showed me a progressbar that stopped and I had no way of accessing the image. So I had to remove psplash. When I removed psplash from various RDEPENDS, the Makefile happily kept rebuilding and including it. Until I removed task-openmoko a bit too rough after which it complained it could not find task-openmoko-* (which is correct since the ipkgs were gone; why not try to recreate those ipkgs and (thus) give me a nice warning about what I should do?) Are there some timestamps in use when building things, instead of looking at the things? Which things are replaced by timestamps? Where are the docs or testing scripts for this? Finally, I created an image again, which I can look into. That's when I could see the errors at the start of my post. The big Q for me is, Did I Bork my DevEnv thoroughly enough, such that I must reinstall? Or should I keep trying `bitbake -c rebuild *` until things work again? like for webkit, which I never even touched myself :( [No, it's working fine] That's not my definition of fine. Where should I send the series of bugreports on dropbear and matchbox, then? [Yes, you borked it] How the *** do I prevent that next time?!? Finally, `make flash-qemu-local` fails about 90% of the time on timeouts. If I do not kill the qemu by hand, I can keep trying indefinitely. I handcrafted a few build/qemu/openmoko/flash-*sh files with parts of flash.sh to be faster. That's not how a dev env is supposed to work. The most_recent script using python is ab-so-lutely wrong. It has no clue what most recent constitutes. Is it the -ipkg- insertion? The Sep/Oct ordering? Why doesn't it look at the 2007mmdd part? or the mtime of the rootfs? I can't read the python, it's too perlish. Am I the only one using `make flash-qemu-local` this month? Bye, Kero. PS: I'm getting tired of this. libgsmd/tool destroys my August image after a bit of messing. I can not use the current state of libgsmd since there's no dbus inside it. I can not run fresh images since the dev env isn't quite what I want it to be (tho I suppose I can work on some low-level things without X. Working without dropbear/ssh is virtually impossible, especially when there's no X(term) to start it from. You got the ruby packages and gtk2+glade2 bindings from me, but they're not in bitbake format; do you expect me to be able to wrap things in bitbake if my dev env runs the risk of getting borked any minute? ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: dev mess
First off, perhaps you can explain a bit more about what you are trying to achieve with your set up. There are pre-built images available from buildhost.openmoko.org. As a developer, I want to be able to extend and add software to OpenMoko. Afaik this can be done wih separate ipkgs, as well as building your own image. For reasons of accepting my additions and changes, I think I'll need the second, eventually. Creating ipkgs is smoother when using bitbake in the local part of the OE tree, too. All the rest is a consequence of that desire. Things just break. They shouldn't, imho, but they do. So, on a reasonably fresh update (today, as well as last Thu evening) both dropbear and the graphical environment are broken. Let's start with dropbear. It's simpler. Is dropbear broken for other people updating their OM dev env? Could you describe the problems with libgsmd and gsmd in a bit more detail? If you find the Neo1973 is completely locking up, then it is likely your Neo1973 is set up to multiplex the gsm and serial port. This can be disabled by editing a parameter in u-boot. After using libgsmd on gsmd for a bit, something starts spitting out lots of P[ or something like it. Fills the console of the Neo easily. Then it stops spitting. Neo locks up, reboot necessary. Spitting of stuff happens, without me using libgsmd or gsmd, even with symlinks in /etc/rc*.d removed. Succeful booting becomes impossible, I do not get an ssh connection going anymore. Neo might be locked at that point, but I can not verify that. Reinstall needed. So far, I have absolutely not been able to figure anything out. Is it the kernel? likely. Which part causes it? communication by gsmd, I'd guess. Specific communication? I need CPIN and I haven't seen a GUI app that requests a PIN code. So I guess there's only a handful of people using PIN codes. But that's going on a limb. What gets broken? Your guess is as good as mine. One last thing I might try is `ipkg upgrade` on the snapshot of OM2007.2 I do not have a debug board.
