[Crossposting to openmoko-community, shr-user and gta04-owner MLs] Dear all,
as a participant of the FSOSHRCON'11 in Essen (Germany) this year, I'd like to summarize the topics we discussed and the work we did this last weekend. * Date and Location * Participants * The Ports (which Devices to support) * The Stack (SysV Init vs. Systemd / Udev vs. Devtmpfs) * Stability and Organization * Solved Tasks * Openmoko Community Survey 2011 – please take part! Date and Location: The FSOSHRCON'11 took place from 16.12. - 18.12.2011 at the Linux Hotel in Essen, Germany. Participants: antrik, GNUtoo, Heinervdm, JaMa, mickeyl, morphis, mrmoku, nschle85, slyon The Ports (which Devices to support): FSO status: [working] Openmoko GTA01, Openmoko GTA02, Palm Pre (+variants) [work in progress] Goldelico GTA04, Nokia N900, Google Nexus S SHR supports: Openmoko GTA02, Goldelico GTA04, Nokia N900, Palm Pre (+variants), Google Nexus S The Stack (SysV Init vs. Systemd / Udev vs. Devtmpfs): * SHR will switch from SysV init to Systemd in the (near) future, to provide a faster and cleaner bootup. * There will probably be a minimal FSO init process, which can be used to bootup a minimal FSO featurephone stack. * We see phones as mostly static devices with fixed use cases, thus we prefer devtmpfs over udev and will use it on all devices running SHR. * Udev will stay in the feeds, so power users who want to use their phone as a mini computer can install it anyways. Stability and Organization: * SHR will make releases in the future * Release will be created from best staging image + feed, but without maintaining release branch. * releases consists of a set of features and/or bug fixes * for testing the new features, staging images are published and tested by developers and the community * developers are working on feature branches which are merged after the work is finished * versions of major components are locked in SHR and updated as features Solved Tasks: * GTA04 support: you can now build SHR-Core images, which are almost working. Still lacking proper power management (kernel) and proper audio routing (fso/alsa) – both are worked on * shr_elm_softkey: fixed a long standing bug which prevented you from closing several applications (ffphonelog, ffalarms, iliwi) * ffalarms: fixed segfault on adding an alarm * trac cleanup: we started to clean up our trac bug database, which included closing a lot of outdated/obsolete bugs. Openmoko Community Survey 2011 – please take part! We decided to start a poll about which hardware and which software you use or are interested in these days. The results will help us to focus on relevant hard-/software. Please participate in the survey at Doodle and spread the word about it! => http://www.doodle.com/sh6insnivnvqyz7h
