Sales?
I have heard from two sources now[1][2] that the demand for Freerunner's has been above and beyond everyone's expectations. Does anyone have any data they can release as to roughly how many are thought to have been sold so far? Keep up the good stuff everyone!

Re: Video on Freerunner?

For example: go to youtube - download video to sd card - transcode it to the needed format(how long does it take, by the way) - watch it? Is it useable? Does someone watch videos often on the freerunner? Are there any new developments for the video playback sinse that wiki page is updated? you tube video are possible on the free runner. though not instantly... on your home computer install clive and configure it to transcode flv to mpg then copy across and use mplayer and quasar from the angstrom repositories to play.

My Suggestions for FDOM
Hi there, I've just moved to FDOM and I love it. I have a few ideas to make it better - these aren't criticisms - it's great at the moment - these are just ideas to make it better - I don't expect anyone to agree about all of them, but these are suggestions... # Midori(with the settings tweaked) is better for the screensize than minimo - I find it more usable # accel-rotate program, or a way to start/stop it - this is a simple script to use the accelerometers to rotate with xrandr. It seems quite stable. An ipkg is available - http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Rotate When I was running 22007.2, two cool programs I had from Angstrom were: # Quasar - a x11 mplayer front end. This is not perfect for the freerunner - it ideally needs some UI work doing (more than just setting tweaking), especially on it's fonts, however, i have launched mpg QVGA videos with it and watched them as well as listening to music with it. # Claws Mail A lightweight mail client - with a bit of UI tweaking from the view menu makes a completely usable mail client. Since we have qmail, I guess this is not necessary, but it's a thought. # FBreader? I would love to see an ebook reader but I think there are big dependency issues here :( # Games Personally, I would prefer to get rid of sudoku and to possibly to get kobodeluxe on there. Though not ready yet, keeping an eye on http://projects.openmoko.org/projects/accelgame might be good. # lint-wifi Personally, I prefer lint-wifi to mofi. I really like being able to see the network info it displays (ie IP, DNS DDHCP) as it helps troubleshooting stuff when things dont work :P http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Lint-wifi # wpa_supplicant.conf Possibly modify the default the wpa_supplicant.conf to automatically connect to unencrypted wifi hotspots? :-/ I can't help too much - my stupid OM setup script - (givemeteh)apppznow is pretty much obsolete as a result of FDOM :) so I will help in the ways I can.

Yet Another OpenMoko Presentation
Recently, I helped do a talk at my local free software group[1] about Openmoko/Neo Freerunner etc. (video coming soon!) for which I wrote a short presentation, five minutes before it started. It wasn't very good, but it got a message across - a message that a Freerunner + FDOM = a smartphone that worked as a smartphone. Today, I sat down and went through the presentation, improved it a bit, and put it more into the style I like to do presentations in. :) You can find my improved presentation, available under CC-BY-SA 3.0 at: http://files.tdobson.net/openmoko/freerunner/presentation/openmokopresentation1.2.odp http://files.tdobson.net/openmoko/freerunner/presentation/openmokopresentation1.2.pdf My apologies to the developers and users of anything which isn't FDOM, you guys do an amazing job on your projects and I don't give you enough credit.

Re: The forbidden topic: Glamo OpenGL
Wolfgang Spraul wrote: Openmoko actually has learnt a lot from this. First we have learnt to not trust high-level promises as much as before. In fact I would go as far as saying that going forward, we will not trust any promises about 'we will open this up later' anymore. Either it's open and documented at the time we make the decision to use those chips, or we look elsewhere. I believe that's what our customers want. I read in the development list archive a big discussion about whether customers/enduser/developers would accept non-free bits to things like the wifi. I didn't subscribe because the list is very developer orientated so I don't know what the end result was, however I hope, in light of this thread, someone can reveal it ended favourably. :) We have a long way to go to come out with kick-ass open phone hardware, but if our community doesn't loose faith and continues to do development together with us, we'll get there. The momentum we have built with the Freerunner is awesome. Please continue to buy Freerunners and to develop for it, same is happening internally. The next phones will build on top of the free platform we have built together, the technology investment will carry over. Keep doing what you are doing, there are problems, there will continue to be problems... lets not get demoralised but look forward to GTA 3 (do what you can but try not to let my hair turn grey first! ;) ) and if anything can be done about the glamo chip by engaging smedia, I would love openmoko to give it a try. :) If there is anything people who aren't skilled developers, who have no money(!), can do other than what we are already doing, please let us know. :) Finally, thanks for engaging with the community it's nice to get some feedback even if it isn't all good news[1].

Re: Ask Sean Moss-Pultz about community matters
Ok, since I asked, I'll answer too. Tim Dobson wrote: What phone is in your pocket right now? none. My Freerunner is on a lanyard round my neck though. What distro is it running? Why? FDOM (latest 'stable' image) Because I don't like installing applications if I can help it. I find installing applications (and hacking the installs) a quick way to nuke your install. What do you use your phone for the most? Sending text messages What distros have you tried? (not very recently) 2007.2, 2008.8 (possibly 2008.9 as well), Qtopia (briefly) What other portable consumer electronics do you use on a regular basis? A nokia 3310 as an alarm clock and phone book. (I realise FDOM does both of these, but I easily oversleep, so I set reminders on the phone every 2 minutes after the initial alarm and the qtopia-x11 doesn't seem to let me move contacts from isntall to install easily :-/ ) Who in the community, after yourself, deserves praise for their achievements which might otherwise go unnoticed?

What is the most pointless application on the Freerunner? Obviously OpenMooCow does the least useful thing, but it still brings a smile to your face, probably The GIMP running in debian on the freerunner was what I thought was the most pointless thing, however, I could be very wrong there and I for one would be interested in seeing the FR work as a graphics tablet.. What is the most interesting thing you have seen the Freerunner used for? A vibrator is the funniest hack I have seen...

The website is here: http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-facebookchat/ There is a version built for arm: http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-facebookchat/downloads/detail?name=libfacebookarm-1.47.so but I get the feeling it is arm5 because the moment one starts to use it pidgin crashes because of illegal instruction The only reason I attempted to use the prebuilt version is because I had such a touch time trying to get the right things installed to be able to build my own (I'm not experienced at doing this!) Has anyone got any ideas? Tim howto install it: http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-facebookchat/wiki/How_To_Install Crash log below: (18:18:42) jabber: xmlParseChunk returned error 100 (18:18:46) util: Writing file accounts.xml to directory /home/root/.purple (18:18:46) util: Writing file /home/root/.purple/accounts.xml (18:18:46) util: Writing file blist.xml to directory /home/root/.purple (18:18:46) util: Writing file /home/root/.purple/blist.xml (18:19:02) jabber: jabber_actions: have pep: NO (18:19:02) account: Connecting to account someuser (18:19:02) connection: Connecting. gc = 0x4b4fa0 (18:19:02) facebook: sending request headers: POST /login.php HTTP/1.0 Host: login.facebook.com Connection: close User-Agent: Opera/9.50 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en-GB) Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-length: 121 Accept: */* Cookie: isfbe=false;test_cookie=1; (18:19:02) dns: DNS query for 'login.facebook.com' queued (18:19:02) dns: DNS query for 'login.facebook.com' queued (18:19:02) dns: Created new DNS child 1447, there are now 1 children.

That could explain the thing about merging both databases. Any official insight on this? I've been collecting cell information for a few weeks, with some home-made script, and I'd like to know where I should commit them to. Please please forgive me if I'm wrong. I put my hand up and say I am not an expert in this area and COULD BE WRONG. opencellid has A LOT of data for the UK. In fact it wouldn't surprise me if this was all the towers. Due to a load of people being scared of phone masts and radiation etc, the uk body in charge of radio stuff etc. OFCOM, made available on this website: http://www.sitefinder.ofcom.org.uk/ pretty much all the locations of all the cell towers... I'm not sure how that information is licenced.. I have seen discussions about this before I think but I can't remember where... it could have been OSM related. Obviously the issue would be opencellid integrating unclearls licenced data. Before you reply: STOP. As I said before, I may well be wrong!

For a FDOM like experience on 2008.12 install the 2008.12 image then run Kustomizer http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Kustomizer There are some things that won't be better, but in some things there is a marked difference. one thing to realise is that the group of programs installed may well differ. let us know how you get on, Tim -- www.tdobson.net If each of us have one object, and we exchange them, then each of us still has one object.

Installing/upgrading a program with opkg breaks it I have expectecd problems like these when I bought my freerunner but I can't find a fix for any of them, flashing my kernel and distro only delays the problem, it always comes back if not there after flashing it. Time for another distribution maybe - FDOM is kind of old? Tried the new SHR testing? I will give SHR Testing a try First off sorry about reposting, but after looking at the SHR wiki page there is one concern and a question On the wiki page this is listed under the Known Issues Address Book SHR is not implementing a PIM (Personal Information Manager) yet. Work is in progress, but to included in SHR testing this has some consequences on daily use: * Only contacts on the SIM card are available. * It is not possible to import a Vcard file. o It seems to be possible with this gopher://gopher.fnordpol.de/9/data/DbusAccessScripts_0.0.0.tar.gz script written by Zem http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/User:Zem#DBus_Access_Scripts. None of my contacts are on my SIM card and it would take forever to move all of them onto it, the link the the script quoted is a dead link does anyone have a correct link they can point me to or a suggested app that can read Vcards so I can import my contacts from FDOM, copied onto my MicroSD card, into SHR? this is unlikely to work for the time being I suspect. I know it is possible to transfer contacts to a 2008.12 distro with the qtopia/x11 stack because I have done it, and with a few thoughts i could write a how to but :-/ Tim -- www.tdobson.net If each of us have one object, and we exchange them, then each of us still has one object.

It's interesting that we have been talking extensively about a GTA3 as the next high powered has it all device. It may well be. Let's imagine a GTA2.5 however... GTA2 with a few hardware issues solved, GPS fix time, call quality (the hardware bits), accelerated graphics! :) and the other bits and bobs... Then imagine *dropping* the price. I am not at openmoko and this will almost certainly not happen :) but remember - most FOSS devs want a *phone*, a libre *phone* - some people want internet tablets and that's life - but perhaps a GTA2.5 is an answer... It probably isn't, but the ideas there. :) Tim -- www.tdobson.net If each of us have one object, and we exchange them, then each of us still has one object.
