Let me try my luck again. I will try to send multiple mails so its better than typing things all over again. Sad part is the response of firefox os devs, an email app that does not work at all is considered a 'normal' bug for a smart phone os.
I started with asking them how many of them know how to drive a car, ride a bike or a bicycle. Some people raised their hands. Then I asked them how many of them learned it by reading the manuals. Some answered they need practice. Then I asked them what is needed to repair, they said they need the manuals. Then they replied they need to know the design if they want to make a better one. I had set the stage for them to realize what they need to make better software. It is evident that only free software can provide it. Then some people had tried tinkering with devices and one person even tried to modify the kernel. Kevin had put printks (printf for kernel) to learn the execution flow of the kernel but given up after getting stuck. Only few people were really interested to work on existing software. Still I explained google summer of code to them. 2014-03-01 11:57 GMT+05:30, Anush <an...@techstream.org>: > That is bad :(. > > > On Fri, Feb 28, 2014 at 11:31 PM, Pirate Praveen <prav...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> I want to share my experience but gmail, firefox os, vodafone 2g combo >> won't let.
