Re: SNES in 770/800
Nothing there...any idea? any contact? Searching for snes emulator on internettablettalk.com forum you can see there have been some efforts by ArnimS and Tak to port Snes9x or Zsnes to 770, but as you can expect there are many problems, in particular 770's horsepower (or how coders are allowed to squeeze it by now), and - mainly - the hardware buttons, which are not suitable for the majority of snes games.

Svg library used in OSSO?

about SoC organization reward
Quim Gil wrote in his blog on April 14th: One more thing: SoC organizations get also some money to run the program. The only legal organization behind maemo is Nokia. For obvious reasons, it doesn't make any sense that this company receives a single SoC cent. I have been asking in maemo-developers for an organization willing to receive this money, unsuccessfully. Do you have a good idea? Let us know. Well, I was looking at the quite interesting GUADEC 2007 programme and thought how nice it would be to attend (and how impossible it is with my current budget)... So, here's my proposal: Give travel stipends upon request to maemo community members who'd like to go to a maemo-related conference during this year. A fixed amount per person, $400 or $500, would be easiest. GUADEC is probably the most wanted event and it is in July, so the stipend approvals should happen pretty fast. My off-the-cuff timeline: May 21-31: Discussion and a decision about this proposal June 7:Requests sent to whoever makes the decision June 14: Stipend receivers announced Practical details: The amount of money received from Google is 500 USD per completed SoC project (hopefully that's $2000) and it will be paid shortly after August 31, 2007. Open issues: who makes the decision about this?

PIL and camera.py
The Python Bora tutorial indicates that JPEG saving was omitted from Elvis Pfutzenreuter's camera.py due to the absence of PIL. Thanks to the excellent efforts of Matt Croydon and the PyMaemo team, it looks like we now have PIL and thus JPEG support in Python 2.5.1. In camera.py example app, here's the spot to put code for saving the video buffer to a file: def buffer_cb(pad, buffer): # Here you have a chance to do something with the image buffer return True I can write the buffer directly to a file, and get something Photoshop can import as 16 bit RAW, but I'm having trouble getting PIL to work with it. I've tried lots of different arguments for Image.frombuffer(mode, size, data, raw, mode, 0, 1), but most of what comes out is noise. Any suggestions?

It is much better then scanning card again when rebooting or quick removal and reinsert (can be quite frequent with some use cases). Also if you fear of huge DB size you may consider to optionally keep DB directly on card with media files if it is writable and there is free space and also user sets it in preferences (or even if user moves it by hand there if canola is smart enough to keep one DB per scanned card, why not?). You can also do MD5 sum of directory listing (even output of ls -R or -lR) and do not scan files at all if listing hash is same.
