the Distributor List
Hi Community We're working to make this page: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Distributors The official list of distributors of the FreeRunner. It's obviously very important for all of our customers to clearly understand who is selling what and at what price. I would like to ask for a volunteer to help support this page and let me personally know if anything needs changing or clarifying. Any takers? I would really appreciate the help! -Sean ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

There was a similar request on shr-users Mailinglist, so i forward the answer spaetz has given there: -- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -- Betreff: Re: [Shr-User] update request Datum: Sonntag 29 November 2009 Von: Sebastian Spaeth sebast...@sspaeth.de An: sam tygier wrote: I wonder if we could have a new update on the progress on the new SHR releases. This is a tricky request, as there are so many things going on in parallel, that just keeping trac of regressions/fixes/improvements is a hard task. Additionally, the core devs are not constantly reflashing a new image on their devices and some of the regressions are only being noticed by installing a fresh image. But let me try to summarize: - Incoming calls when suspended don't work. (one ringtone and then it aborts). This has been fixed. - Ringtone continues ringing even when user aborts call. This has been fixed, but I think it's not in the latest image/feed yet. We are currently rebuilding from scratch so that might still take a few hours to hit the feed. Also this caused some audio stuttering during the first seconds of a call, I think. - Phone suspends when booted with USB plugged in. You have to work around by unplugging/replugging - ogsmd has been improved to start up 9 seconds quicker than before, (don't know if the new revision is already being used, but it should go in soon). - One thing that is still left: It appears that e-wm-illume-config-shr is not in the images by default (although it should be). Thus, you can select Illume but not Illume SHR in the initial wizard. If this is the case you have to manually install e-wm-illume-config-shr and delete /home/root/.e to get back to the initial qizard thingie. - Much more has happened on the audio tweaking side, eg. the Mute and speaker buttons in the active call dialog should be functional now. -Currently there is ongoing work to integrate shr-today into the phone apps (it's a standalone-python app now), and to integrate some quick settings app that is reachable from the phone apps. Also the 1st time shr-wizard is being worked on. -mokonnect was updated and allows me to connect to WLAN again and seems to be able to power on the WLAN now (except when you used shr-settings to turn OFF WiFi, as that set the WiFi Policy to disabled) - MOre apps are added to the feed, eg babiloo, a dictionary, working through the package request list. And existing apps that fail to compile are being looked at to make them compile. Sure, I forgot lots of things, but this is what I know - ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Navit - unusable?

Hi Jens, Jens Seidel schrieb: How to add a destination? I select as Country Germany, and my City followed by Street and Number. And now? Any click on Map, Bookmark and Destination does nothing. I assume I have to be online for this step, this is fulfilled. With valid gps-signal that position is your current postion. Without gps input you can set postions by clicking on the map, which will open the home screen. There select actions--globe symbol, which stands for the position you clicked on, and then choose whether you want it as current or destination position. Equally you can define a bookmark.

How to publish a piece of software in python?
I have a rather simple request: what is the procedure to publish a set of python script files, into a distributable package for releasing it to the opkg feeds? http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Toolchain posed me some challanges. After reaching How to create your own project from the sample project it seems this whole method is for a c-programs... this turns me down, sorry. So, where is the simple 5-10 step procedure for average joes like me? ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: How to publish a piece of software in python?
An ipk file is just a load of files packaged together. These are distributed as you see fit, then opkg installs your application by extracting the relevant files to the places you want them. All very easy (said, literally, as an average Joe) if you use the ipkg-build script. More info: http://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=IPKG_Howto Of course, a good way to learn is to grab any ipk file, extract it, and see what it does.

Re: How to publish a piece of software in python?
Hi, you should have a look at Python distutils. Then contact the people from the distributions (SHR, Debian, etc...). They will create the ipk, deb, etc. based on the distutils file of your Python application.

Re: the Distributor List
Hi Sean I would be very glad to help you looking, that everything goes right. And would additionaly like to ask for some guidlines to start selling such devices as company (www.o2s.ch) too. And by the way: Good work, coming up with Freerunner, its the must powerfull tool I ever had. It even survived going swimming with me in Amazonia, last fall! (Little boat accident) I couldnt think of another device like this, I'm loving it. Again: Good work!
