 Dear list,

 Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 February 2010 there is another FOSDEM. We
 (openmoko-community) haven't been to FOSDEM lately (correct me if I'm
 wrong) and that got to change. What about having our own devroom and
 give a sign to the world this community has not died since all what
 happened lately. So my question is:
 Who would like to come and represent openmoko?
 Any thoughts on FOSDEM?

Bearstech (through me and others) would like to be there to talk about
hackable:1 and our forthcoming initiative about open hardware. Plus,
I'd also like to be there to talk a bit about SHR/FSO, as well as
drink some beers (Mickey, you owe me one!) :-)

You can type accents. You just can't use the dictionnary with it as it

For a time it was UTF8 not being handled. These days it's the

Well, unfortunately, guys, we generate images at an insane rate these

also changed a bunch of revisions, and some package naming

That's why these days, opkg update'ing wasn't a good solution :-).

I'd suggest to reflash if this kind of problem surfaces again. Don't

If an image isn't working properly, I'm used to delete it afterwards.

 reboots.  Ive also lost it a couple of times on 2008.9 which I thought
 had been fixed as well, so I normally use Simon Matthews fixes (turns SD
 clock on before suspend) and have not had any problems afterwards.  In

Regarding the suspend behavior, default on frameworkd is : short push

of now.

 - the font size of the numbers for the pin dialog are very small
 compared to the button sizes

This sometimes happen, this is a known bug, and will be addressed.

 - the contact app reacts very slow when going down/up in the list by
 dragging the slidebar down/up (not the arrows)

Felt that too. There's already a ticket open for the 'sluggish feeling.

This is on our TODO list.

 - when calling somebody, the bottom buttons (end, speaker and
 something else) have also very small fonts being used

Again, this sometimes happen. We're addressing the issue.

 - when calling somebody, the button speaker doesn't do anything

Yes it does :-) It's supposed to put the speaker mode, it works well here...

 Also: I don't see to which provider I'm connected, the battery icon
 doesn't show the battery percentage (like in FSO M4) and - as already
 mentioned - there seems to be no gui for date/time settings.

Date/time : no gui yet.
Battery : We're using a more recent version of illume than FSO M4 if I
recall correctly. I'll check that.
Regarding the provider, there was bug in illume GSM gadget in
correlation with frameworkd MS4 at the time we built the image. That's
why we disabled the gadget.

 Again: except for the echo issue, these are not really showstoppers,
 but usability thingies. But since the alarm app now basically works
 (except for the features I already talked about in another mail), this

There's also some issues with frameworkd (even MS4, sad to say), which

We would also like to build a graceful failure feature to avoid lots

 Now I'll give FSO M4 a try. After all, SHR is based on FSO...

SHR is based on frameworkd, and by extension on FSO, but we modified a
bunch of things. For instance, our default conf includes the
ti_calypso_deep_sleep feature (#1024 fix). It also logs on file by
default, to have good bug reports.

Even though the whole credit goes to the FSO team, we worked a bit on
making this packaged to have a fully working distro, easy to use, from
the start. After all, as Mickeyl said, FSO/Zhone are demos for their
work :-)

So even if, to our eyes, this isn't quite yet it (stable, easy to use,
reliable, simple, beautiful), as there's still a bunch of things to
do, we're eagerly going towards this, and we're waiting for people to
come over and help.

 Dito. There's just one thing that's kind of a showstopper for me. I can't
 receive sms. Sorry that I can't provide any useful data except for the fact
 that I didn't receive a test-sms I sent to my number.

In order to confirm whether this is a bug, edit frameworkd.conf and
put the following behind log_level = INFO

log_to = file
log_destination = /tmp/frameworkd.log

Then modify log_level = INFO for log_level = DEBUG and restart
frameworkd (/etc/init.d/frameworkd restart), and try again to send
yourself an SMS.
If it still doesn't work, you'd be able to give full logs for the FSO
team on their trac :-).

 Collaboration and joint efforts sounds like a good idea.
 However, I had a look at the project description and it seemed to me
 that SHR focuses on development with C and gtk, which is not quite what
 we are aiming for, but as I said it was a short look. Could you explain
 how EFL fits into the picture?

SHR has nothing to do with only C and GTK. We aim to deliver a stable
and working community driven distribution. We first thought to port
the old 2007.2 GTK applications to frameworkd, as by that time, 2008.9
wasn't out yet and 2007.2 wasn't stable enough. We ended up building
an architecture allowing the user to install different libraries
related to frameworkd functionnalities, and allowing him to change the
library used for this or that part in a configuration file.

In the end, quickdev (a SHR developer) managed to develop quite fast a
working dialer, messages and contacts software based on EFL, in a
library implementing the logic built in SHR
(libframeworkd-phonegui-efl).

This logic is described here :
http://shr.bearstech.com/trac/wiki/SHR_Architecture
What he did is to implement the specifications written in
libframeworkd-phonegui, using libframeworkd-glib to abstract the dbus
connection.

In the future, I'd like to settle the mainloop problems with
libframeworkd-glib, allowing the user to choose which kind of dbus
library libframeworkd-glib should use at runtime (i.e. attaching
itself to the mainloop of the user/developer choice, hence avoiding
the management of threads).

I also would like to see how our logic can interact with things such
as tichy (as discussed with Guillaume), or other languages than C.

In any case, if you manage to build a share object with method hooks
usable in C, you're free to use the language of your choice.

Hence, it would worth it if we shared our efforts, we're just a few
people working out here, and several of us could build something even
better :-)

 More info and the source can be found on paroli's website and svn at:

 A last note, if you want to commit yourself to paroli development and
 join the developers-team contact me for svn-commit rights.

Just so you know, SHR already chose this path, and we successfully
built our dialer based on EFL (and currently moving to elementary),
using frameworkd, and libframeworkd-glib which is used as a tool
allowing the developer to forget about dbus management.

Currently, there's only one UI lib, though anyone can implement a new
one quite easily (in C, or whatever exposing C method hooks, a GTK one
based on the old 2007.2 UI is a work in progress).

Libraries - hence UIs - associated to this or that widget, dialer,
messages, etc, are already configurable through, well, a configuration
file :-).

You can find (a short) documentation about that on our trac wiki :
http://shr.bearstech.com/trac/

Maybe we should join forces ? :-)

 Hi all, Numptyphysics, this great physics drawing game, is reborn!
 (http://www.opkg.org/package_3.html)
 There are not yet new upstream release, but there are lots of new
 things in svn-repository. So we can now play numptyphysics0.2-svn109
 on our Freerunners. (Tested with Debian and Fdom).

Yay !

Would it be possible for the Open Embedded package maintainer to
update it to use autotools and apply the patches developed here ? :-)

Re: [SHR] Frameworkd broken in update

 As it turns out, the dialer and contacts ARE working now, but I have no
 ringer and no audio in calls.   I know this was the state a week or two ago
 with FSO, when I was working with it on top of Raster's previous image.  Is
 it still a problem there as well, or is SHR behind the curve on frameworkd,
 or what?

First of all, SHR is unstable, hasn't be released, and that is intentional.
We will release when we'll feel what we did is ready for stable and
complete use. Even if I personnaly feel confident enough in SHR to use
it on a day to day basis to do telephony stuff, there are still some
quirks, some caveats, that we want to fix before any official release.

Just so you know, SHR is built using the latest frameworkd (HEAD) in
fact, so if there's any problem within frameworkd on SHR, blame the
FSO team :-).

You are describing a bug.

I opened two tickets about that, #174, which describes your situation
and is closed, and the next one, #176, which another one altogether
:-).

You can find them on trac.freesmartphone.org.

French aswell, ordered two and a half week ago, still didn't receive a
thing despite the fact that I did receive the shipping confirmation
(two days after my order).

I ordered the full body protection and paid for the fast shipping
(2-4 days for Europe).

As I mailed them a week after my order, they told me they would reship
it, and I'm waiting for that since then... I think the mistake in 2-4
days is that they mispelled weeks...

 since OM will stick with fso in the foreseeable future, I think port

Just so you know, the main goal of the Stable Hybrid Release (SHR :
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/SHR) is to port applications from 2007.2
to FSO.

We have already ported GSM Panel, and we're currently building the
dialer. As soon as all of that stuff will be done, it should be usable
as is on FSO, or on our image which will, in the end, be either an
installation of the new frameworkd on old 2007.2, or some basic
packages to install on FSO.
