Re: Whats up with the freerunner mass production?
Hi, And #2. They love hearing your continuous interest in the constant requests for status updates. Are we there yet? No. Are we there yet? No. Are we there yet? No. if you make an announcement for a particular date, you have to live with people asking, when the date passed by. If you say production starts at 19th, don't wonder about people asking on 21th ...

Re: Whats up with the freerunner mass production?
Hi, I think I saw some proballys and some shoulds but I don't remember any announcements. maybe, but a concrete date was given. Was there an official announcment? Everything, a member of the company writes, is official ... Sorry, but we are all waiting for several months now. Several potential production dates passed by. It would be very helpful, if we get to know what hinders production. Sometimes it looks like stonewalling. I know, that this is not intended by anyone.

Re: Whats up with the freerunner mass production?
Hi Michele, I agree with what you wrote. But in the end it is about earning money. It is not good to lose potential customers with announcements of probabilities. So again, what hinders production? Openmoko but to learn to be open. It will take time, but is doing a lot. This is main point I think. All the best Dirk ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Freerunner on a Mac ...
Hi! One point on my list is to ask you, if it is possible, to configure (install software) on Freerunner, when you have a Mac? Thanks for any hint Dirk ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Freerunner on a Mac ...
Hi, AFAIK, the Freerunner itself can install software when connected to a Mac. You'll need to setup networking, but I guess that will be covered in the FAQ. ok, great. What I am wondering about (and maybe you as wel...) is if it will be possible to re-flash the Freerunner using a Mac. Since I also own a Mac, that would be nice to know... Same for me. My machine is runs with Linux, so no problem on this side. The machine of my wife works with Tiger. Since I ordered a phone for her as well, she should be able to do basic administration with her Mac.

Re: Root password and ssh?
Hi, Well, you can always login via SSH as a root... if this is configured ... You can not login as root on any of my machines, you can not even login with a bare password.

Re: Stylus Recommendation
Hi, Someone (read: not me. I AM a EE :) ) could make a stylus with a usb connector sticking out along the side. Then, the stylus could plug into the usb port and be held tight against the side of the phone. really a cool idea. Respect!

Re: Group Sales Page
Hi, But for me, that link is 404 Not Found. The wiki seems to be down. Brenda mentioned in another thread that the wiki was being upgraded. I'm guessing that is in process and is the reason I can't access it. I was do to make a search and to find the link ... so upgrading should be finished, shouldn't it?

New List?
Hi, just a question. Do you think that it makes sense to put the distribution questions to a new mailing list? This community list gets flooded with group sales messages. Dirk ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: New List?
Hi, What a great idea. Maybe I'm to uncommunicative but I'm tired of marking group order threads and what colour do i like questions as read. At least I found a missing feature in claws: mark folded threats read ;-) try ignore on threads ;-) I think the wiki would be the best place to arrange group orders and form groups (which might exists after anyone got it's neo-- Steve's intention to spent some goodies?). The real buying process is neither done on the mailing list nor the wiki so there is no disadvantage. Same for me. Everyone knows the wiki to be the place to go to for group orders.

Re: Getting Things Done with Openmoko
Hi, There's a whole cult around this book. Isn't lifehacker essentially an offshoot? as far as I see it is about time and task management.

Re: Our new Main page of wiki
Hi, Just a thought... Perhaps it would make sense for the wiki pages to fit the horizontal resolution of the Freerunner. I would image that it may be an often visited site by the phones when people are getting started. I agree to that. Plus thinking about the page beeing viewed mostly from users with Linux on their machines (web server stats anyone?). So it should be reviewed with linux or at least with an alternative browser.

Re: Buy the Neo fra Norway
Hi, The problem here is that trisoft is selling it for 399€ There was a correction to 350 EUR. If you live outside EU, you don't have to pay the taxes (19%), so it comes to ca. 295 EUR, but you have to pay the taxes in your country.

Re: What should be included in packaging (was: Re: FreeRunner Pricing and PVT update)
Hi, I think you are right. There are two main opinions on getting the phone. The geek way and the end user way. Geeks have other needs or wishes than end users have. What about addon packs to a basic phone with charger? Dirk ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
