Re: how dangerous Freerunner could be?
Nikita, This was caused by mistake by pregrad.net service we used, not by our side. But due to quite hard import process (it lasted for months), it was next to impossible to recover :(. I am sorry for your issue, but unless the mistake was caused by Koolu itself, I do not know that Koolu can address it. However, you might consider trading your FreeRunner with someone else on the list. People move, and someone who bought a FreeRunner in Europe may have moved to the United States and would be willing to trade you to get one that is 850. If you are going to DebConf, this might be a good place to do a swap. 900s work fine in the USA (for the most part), but we have the same issues as you dorural areas tend to use 850. md ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I agree but as I hadn't the time to update BlueMoko to bluez4 and FSO, that was a suggestion to achieve A2DP output after pairing with other means (if FSO does the pairing with headset profiles you should have only to create the .asoundrc file waiting for a GUI ;) ) Also, IIRC, BlueMoko still uses bluez 3.3, while most images now use bluez 4 by default. So if you went down that path you'd probably end up having to support two different methods of pairing. A2DP is easier to use (didn't see bluez4 yet) than headset, because you just need to pair and configure the default main alsa device as the headset, while headset profiles need routing and configuring the secondary alsa device and I didn't find yet a clean way to do this, but as I mentioned I hadn't the time to look at bluez4 and newer kernels so maybe the situation became better in the meantime (I hope :P ) Bye! ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I think the output is not in valid OSM format because of the broken GPS connection (maybe, I don't know..). I don't know how to use the app or how to import the stuff to OSM but to me it looks like it really is going to the right direction. It allows you easily to pinpoint road to left, road to right, different types of roads, crossroads etc etc and I'd think you could add some more items there quite easily since it's a simple python script..

Re: Mokomapper.py: Script for easy OSM mapping on the road: mokomapper.py
Hi ! First thanks to pavel and to you Risto for bringing this up ! Some ideas: we should create a wiki page for this, to gather all the ideas given here. My fist impression : * we need some icons for each button to help finding the things * I think it is a good start, but why not ask for any osm mapper and try to redefine all the hierarchy. I think for this a tool as freemind is the best : easy and quick. I am not saying the hierarchy used is wrong, but I think we should take the chance to have a discussion on it while trying it Ok, here the wiki page I created : http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Mokomapper Let's talk and improve it :D Kimaidou 2009/6/8 Risto H. Kurppa ri...@kurppa.fi Ok, sending again to get pavel's e-mail address right this time.. Hi there! There was a discussion about easy openstreetmap mapping with Freerunner on the road. I found mokomapper (http://tui.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tui/tui/mokomapper.py?view=markup) some months ago (=I didn't write it, Pavel did (CC'd this mail to him)) and mentioned it in the thread. Someone requested some screenshots so here you are: http://kurppa.fi/freerunner/mokomapper/ The readme file also has some output log of the script. I think the output is not in valid OSM format because of the broken GPS connection (maybe, I don't know..). I don't know how to use the app or how to import the stuff to OSM but to me it looks like it really is going to the right direction.

Re: Freerunner's Future
Jeremy I really appreciate your email. Your words cheered us all up at the office. -Sean Jeremy McNaughton wrote: Layoffs are always sad, and never an easy decision to make. To those who are leaving the company, thanks for the great work. I wish the best for your future endeavours and hope that you are able to remain in the community in some way. I know I haven't really contributed much to the project. I'm not much of a programmer and only have time to poke around on the phone every other weekend or so. Still, I've read almost every thread on the mailing list and have learned a great deal. I do have a fair bit of experience doing media relations for local grassroots organizations and non-profits. My experience isn't with software or technology, it's with anti-poverty activism and social service work. Nonetheless, I have some feedback based on some non-tech community organizing to share. Handing development of the Freerunner over to the community is a big deal. There is a lot of opportunity here to get good press for both Openmoko Inc. and the community. The way I see it, giving the phone to the community is every bit as radical as launching an open source phone was in the first place. The Openmoko community is now coordinating development of an updated Freerunner (using Free software), there are multiple distros, lots of apps, multiple phone gui apps. Not only that, but the mailing lists are far from stagnant, and outside of openmoko.org, other parts of the broader Openmoko community have their own mailing lists, wikis and tracs. The key point here is that Openmoko succeeded in building a community around its product. This is no easy task. Companies and organizations with more resources behind them have tried this and not succeeded nearly as well as Openmoko has. For this the company should be commended. There's definitely a newsworthy story here as well. Naysayers might look at Openmoko handing responsibility for the Freerunner to the community as a death knell for the project, or proof that an open source phone can't work. Instead, it seems the Freerunner is transitioning from a phone that was designed in house and then open sourced, to a phone for which the hardware itself is designed by an open source community. That's huge! There's a big difference between how the Freerunner was developed and how the gta02-core is being developed, and that means that once again Openmoko is breaking new ground. It may be a little early to bring this message to the media. It probably makes sense to let the community have a chance to formalize a bit, develop some structure. A Openmoko Foundation maybe? Anyways, once the dust settles maybe Openmoko could make a big announcement about how the thriving community is in the process of taking over development of the phone. It could be a chance for Openmoko to get some good press for being innovative and altruistic. It could also be a huge boon for the community, as it raises awareness about the work being done and reaches out to potential new members. Not to mention reminding people of all the incredible work that has been done with these phones so far. Openmoko is a success story. Despite all the frustrations and delays, a new community that develops open source phone technology has been created. In the FLOSS podcast interview a few weeks ago (I think) Sean spoke about how the Openmoko has reduced a lot of barriers to phone development, potentially allowing the kind of garage workshop innovations that led companies like Hewlett Packard or Apple. Facilitating the community and that kind of development just lowered one more barrier. Well, that's my 2 cents.

This is also a cgi script written in Python which creates the kml output from

Re: Cellhunter/OpenBmap
Hi,
very nice work! Thanks for taking the time of doing this.
Christian Gagneraud wrote:
For OBM logger to be compatible with CH database, there's very few
data that need to be added to the OBM logger:
- provider: the network operator, as reported by fso.GSM.Network.g
getStatus() or Status() signal
Would not be too difficult ;-)
- arfcn: current channel number, as reported by
fso.GSM.Monitor.Get{Serving,Neighbour}CellInformation()
This will be in next version.
And only one data is expressed in a different unit:
- signal strength: OBM use dBm and CH use a scale as per %EM AT command
The dBm is a direct formula out of the GSM spec. So you should be able
to go from one to the other very easily.
So finally, it would be ideal to enhance slightly the OBM logger, this
way it will be universal in regards to the 3 databases. And this will
give the user the complete freedom to upload his data to whatever
database he wants (for example i would like to upload data to CH
server for the fun and still contribute to OBM because i'm convinced
of the higher quality of their data).
Well and what if cellhunter changes his API, and or the data it uploads?
I fear having to follow every move of cellhunter to catch up with his
modifications. In the end my app will be tagged as unstable/not working
every time it does not succeed in uploading to ch.
Cellhunter does have rules for the game (uploaded online, offline, maybe
depends of data) which leads to the number of points you get. I wonder
if you would get all the points you should, with an obm (fairly)
compatible logger.
Well if somebody feels like maintaining such a mechanism, he can get in
touch with me.
Some personal remarks (a bit OT):
- It's a pity that CH use signal strength in GSM scale, FSO use
percent and OBM dBm. There's lot of wasted CPU (and battery) around...
I try to think about cpu usage when building my application. But to be
honest, once I talked with someone about this, and he made a good point:
this is absolutely nothing in comparison of using python instead of C,
vala, etc.

This has been now fixed (thanks mrmoku), and the fix should propagate to all the distributions in the next days (thanks Stefan). * We now have basic stats: http://realtimeblog.free.fr/logins_stats.php * I did a prototype of a D-bus service on the phone, which uses the database locally. If anyone is interested in building a service which needs GSM positioning, contact me. As I said, it is a prototype, but it works, and could be used. * We experience a hard drive failure at the moment. Nick is working hard on this. Please be patient. The website will get updated as soon as the service is back to normal. * As it has been said on a previous thread by others, opencellid data have been imported in our database. Why did we import it? We think the data from oci could be of better quality with some additions. So far, we could not get an agreement about this from Thomas. So we still aim at people logging through obm for better quality. But to propose right now the best coverage to our users, we use oci data too, where no obm data is available. But the idea is to replace it with obm data with time, as it comes in. Again thanks to all the people who helped us, and for the nice comments. And of course, thanks to all the contributors!

But the idea is to replace it with obm data with time, as it comes in. Again thanks to all the people who helped us, and for the nice comments. And of course, thanks to all the contributors!

Re: intone a2dp (bluetooth) support
If you do implement this in Intone (I see the merits of having it as a system-wide option, but then, how many apps are playing sound at one time?), beware that if the bluetooth headset refuses to pair, or if the bluetooth chip is turned off, mplayer freezes and Intone does too. I have to kill them both manually. So be sure to power on the BT chip before playing music with it. Also, you have to beware that the headset may not pair with the phone automatically, it may require authentication. mplayer won't handle that, and will lock up. Of course, it's not Intone's job to do this either, but I would like to see Intone run (and close) even when mplayer locks, and preferably Intone could kill mplayer when it exits if mplayer is locked. I hope that all made sense, I'm a bit tired right now. :P ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
