[MeeGo-dev] Community infra resources & funds (was RE: MeeGo...)

2011-10-03 Thread quim.gil
Discussing resources & funds is not as much fun as discussing brands or 
toolkits, but let me bring your attention to this point since it is probably 
important or plain critical for any plans forward discussed here. 

My assumption is that the current community doesn't have enough muscle to 
afford the whole cost of infrastructure of a project with the size and 
complexity of MeeGo. The options are either reuse free-as-in-beer infra from 
other projects or assure corporate sponsorship from different sources (I would 
trust less this one, but it is also a possibility).

1. Can we get any details about the availability of the current meego.com 
infrastructure under Intel's funding? End of this year? July 2012? End of 2012? 
Later? The answer to this question helps figuring out the urgency for a move.

2. What is the scope we can expect  for tizen.org in terms of community 
infrastructure? Will a "fortizen.org" like site be needed as well or the core 
tizen.org (plus AppUp?) will be inclusive enough to satisfy community 
initiative with a link to the Tizen project, even if it's indirect? The answer 
to this question helps figuring out the need to find/fund own infra for all the 
"non-official" development infra.

Thank you.

The trend of using web technologies to cover the "apps" space is clear and 
pushed by many factors e.g. something simple to develop simple features and 
compatibility across the jungle of platforms. I actually agree with it.

The questionable trend, that is not even a clear trend, is to put all the 
weight in web technologies dismissing the good and powerful native environment. 
Apart from few and very bold exceptions, even the platforms that started 
putting the bets on web ended up opening the door for native, and some of them 
even to "very native". Surely the Tizen architects know this and I'm confident 
(but I don't have more info than you) that they will come up with a sensible 
web/native approach, regardless of the specific technologies used.

Fwiw QML doesn't stop any HTML5 improvement. In fact it plays perfectly well 
with HTML & Javascript next to its neighbor QtWebKit, and bridges web 
development with native development (if you need it) down to core C/C++. If you 
need additional features not covered that web engine/framework X provides, you 
can add such engine/framework or you can improve/add to the Qt web 
engine/framework.

The strategic reasoning behind HTML5 is understandable: it is a general trend. 
The WAC part makes sense if you have a customer requiring it. Looking forward 
to the announcement of a native SDK and the reasoning behind it. 

And of course looking forward to see the work of the new Tizen stakeholders 
working on the Qt integration. The Qt Project will provide tools for them to 
make Tizen a first class Qt platform if they wish.

Re: [MeeGo-dev] MeeGo as a vehicle for Qt-based products?

2011-09-29 Thread quim.gil
About the original point in the subject of this thread: a Tizen architecture 
draft would be useful in order to know what to do. Even a markitecture diagram 
would help. Without that it's difficult to discuss the best approach for Qt in 
relation to Tizen releases and/or future MeeGo.

Apart from the scarce  official information, the only interesting Qt related 
detail is Nomovok saying that they can offer Qt integrated to Tizen. From there 
I understand that there is somewhere enough technical information available to 
make such a decision. That is exactly the same information Robin and other 
developers and stakeholders would need in order to make the right decisions.

Qt is cutting edge technology and for the Qt Project mobile Linux is an 
essential platform. If Tizen becomes a cutting edge mobile Linux platform and 
if Qt can technically run there, then it makes sense to think that someone will 
work on Qt support for Tizen releases. However, I enjoy speculation as little 
as you do and with the current lack of information this assumption is probably 
as far as we can go.

Anything documented to compare? What promised features are missing?

We have lost something with this change of plans in the Nokia-Intel 
relationship in MeeGo, but we could gain real openness in the roadmapping and 
architecture processes now. At least I don't see any reason for Nokia to have 
non-public commitments with the MeeGo project, and this is why I'm asking the

This is why I took the time to list the potentially conflictive packages at 
http://wiki.meego.com/MeeGo_in_package_names

Looking at Ibrahim's email there are two interesting points in relation to this 
discussion:

> the goal is to avoid any confusion around what is and what is not MeeGo

What are the packages on that list that could lead to that confusion? If there 
is any (I doubt) then the license of such packages needs to address this goal. 
If they don't then let's file the corresponding bugs.

> when you append MeeGo to a package name, it would be very reasonable to 
> conclude
> that this is an official MeeGo package coming from MeeGo.com

When a distro uses any of the packages listed in the wiki page above without 
significant modifications, two remarkable things happen:

1. The "meego" string is already appended in the package name. The distro is 
not making any new attribution, it just keeps the current status. If the MeeGo 
project sees a problem in this, then either the naming or the licensing must be 
changed.

2. The "meego" string effectively explains that such package is an official 
MeeGo package coming from MeeGo.com - just being used in the context of another 
distribution. Again, if the MeeGo project finds that this is problematic then 
the solution is to change either the name or the licensing of the package.

If these interpretations are correct, where is the problem then?

[MeeGo-dev] Using "meego" or similar in packages and distro names

2010-12-14 Thread quim.gil
Hi, let's see if we can move into specific details to find and fix whatever is 
problematic in this discussion about using anything close to "meego" in 
packages and distro names. 

About using "meego" or something similar to name a distro using MeeGo related 
components, the opinion of The Linux Foundation is clear. My simple 
interpretation of it is: thanks, but no thanks. Call it something completely 
different and off you go.

About package names, since they are open source (LGPL, Apache...) there 
shouldn't be any problems redistributing them with the same name, isn't it. If 
there is a problem with the name or license of a specific package please let's 
file a bug and let's discuss and solve it in the context of that specific 
problem.

I just took some time to compile the list of packages using "meego" currently 
in 1.1 trunk:
http://wiki.meego.com/MeeGo_in_package_names

What is really the problem? Apart from the fact that it is not good practice to 
carry the names of distros in package names of generic apps and libraries, it 
is not evident (at least to me) where the problems really rely.

Packages using the "meego" string in the MeeGo releases seem to fall in these 
categories:

* Applications developed by the MeeGo project within the UX categories. In 
general it is not a good practice to tie an open source app with the name of a 
distro. Also the "MeeGo" word doesn't appear in the UX of these apps. Should we 
consider the renaming of those packages, removing "meego" from them?
* Packages related with the MeeGo Touch Framework. The branding of this 
framework was discussed and agreed, causing the actual renaming of the 
components (previously libdui). There is no problem in other distros willing to 
use the MeeGo Touch Framework. Is it clear the situation of branding and icons, 
though? Are they in isolated packages?
* Upstream packages with specific MeeGo version/configuration. Not a big 
deal, between not useful or not problematic for other distros.
* Packages intrinsically related to the MeeGo distro (configuration, 
branding, devtools). Not useful in the context of other distros.

Progress in this discussion is measured in improvements to the current 
documentation and bugs filed/solved. If you file any bugs about this please CC 
me. Thanks!

MeeGo needs to offer a simple and crystal clear story for commercial 
developers. No matter how many additional options are also available in this 
Linux based open platform. the keys of app developer success must be contained 
in the MeeGo Core, MeeGo UX, MeeGo API and MeeGo SDK, based on Qt / Qt Mobility 
/ Web Runtime. If MeeGo doesn't have commercial success with these elements 
then we can save the discussions about all the rest.

These limitations and rigidness needed to succed in the commercial side 
shouldn't bother developers willing to play with the rest of combinations in a 
context of free software innovation and pure fun.

Re: [MeeGo-dev] Meego spec - for comment

2010-09-15 Thread quim.gil
Let's recap:

MeeGo's promise is vertebrated basically through the MeeGo API. If we don't 
assure a "MeeGo compliant" app runs across MeeGo devices within a range of 
releases then the success of the project is at stage.

This is already complex. You can see the problems you might get looking at the 
Android fragmentation, and the reactions it gets.

The Qt / Qt Mobility / Web Runtime game combined with the different UXs is 
already more complex than the setup offered by Android and iOS. We should find 
there all what it takes to build a great commercial developer offering under 
the "compliance flag".


Then you have MeeGo Extras, hosted at meego.com and handled by the MeeGo 
community, containing compliant apps and also compatible apps departing from 
the MeeGo official API.

The MeeGo commercial offering doesn't *require* Extras but can benefit from a 
successful Extras anyway. Letting Extras out of the Compliance program makes 
sense, especialy now that the comercial part still needs to be created and 
consolidated.

Because box2d is not included in MeeGo and a user of a MeeGo device with no 
access to e.g. extras has a high chance of getting confused.

Multiply this for toolkits, devices, apps and users and you will see the 
"MeeGo: what a mess!" headlines coming to Engadget and the likes.

Not all devices will have access to Extras. not all users with access will be 
willing to have anything to do there.

"compliant" is a commercial label and it's easy to tie it strictly to the 
commercial side: the vendor stores.

Extras can still do whatever without the label "compliant". Love that freedom!

Even if you might be targeting the Handset UX, the idea is that you can and 
will want to recycle as much work as possible for other UXs. For this reason 
the default starting point is Qt and the corresponding Qt SDK.

Regular unstable MeeGo SDK builds are on its way, just not ready yet. In the 
meantime, those willing to get familiar with the environment can try the Nokia 
Qt SDK and have a look at the Qt 4.7 novelties. The architecture and the 
components are the same, it's only the targets that differ.

If you want to speed up quickly then Qt Quick is a good choice. See 
http://qt.nokia.com/developer/qt-qtcreator-prerelease/

Note though that all these pieces are being integrated and polished as we 
speak. MeeGo 1.1 is not yet ready for application developers just looking for a 
stable and reliable environment.

Re: [MeeGo-dev] Repository Working Group - next steps

2010-04-20 Thread quim.gil
Hi,

I think we have a mismatch between the name and the content. "Repository 
Working Group" is a problematic denomination, while most if not all your points 
are clear and probably easy to agree upon.

"Repository" is a too broad concept: the whole MeeGo release sits in a 
repository and it's easy to get confused thinking that the scope is the whole 
repo = the whole release. 

The scope proposed is the repository/ies hosted at meego.com containing 
packages not officially supported in a MeeGo release.  

- The repos containing the MeeGo official release are out of scope.

- The MeeGo compatible app stores managed by vendors or other third parties are 
out of scope BUT the tools and guidelines for those frontends would be within 
the scope of this team.

Is this right? This is the first thing to agree upon.

How to call this? Names carried from maemo.org or moblin.org would be 
"Downloads", "Extras" or "Garage". "Apps", "Addons", "Catalog" are also used in 
similar contexts. None of them is perfectly accurate but calling it 
"Universe/Multiverse" is probably not the best solution either.  :)

So what about "Downloads" as a compromise between clarity and accuracy?


David Greaves wrote:
> I think two main issues were raised: [2]
> * Is a WG needed?

At this point it is clear that "Working Groups" are being defined as teams 
primarily in charge of vision, strategy and roadmapping. The TSG plans to set 
up some of those for the different UX categories, and probably that's it.

However, this doesn't affect the purpose, scope and "power" of this team if it 
gets up and running. Let's leave behing the "WG" and let's continuw with the 
definition work? 

"Downloads team". How does this sound necxt to the "Program Office"? (this is 
how the "Core team" could be called)


> * Isn't this covered in the MeeGo 'Core' project structure?

At least I don't see it. The Program Office has a clear mission which consists 
on shipping great MeeGo releases every 6 months. The proliferation of a great 
offering of additional software is a different mission that deserves its own 
focus.

Can we discuss and agree first on all these general terms? Once they are clear 
and agreed it will be easier to agree on more specific details.

Arjan said something in the MeeGo work group last week that got stuck in my 
little brain: any topic that ends up in the TSG is a failure in the system.  :) 
 There is no officially nominated responsible for this area but a key person is 
Bob Spencer from Intel. We discussed few weeks ago at Portland about how to 
approach the Downloads repository and how to introduce a reliable and community 
friendly QA process. All in all the maemo.org Extras process was seen as good 
source for inspiration - http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras

For practical reasons, I would say that getting Bob on board and syncing with 
whatever are his ideas and plans is a first step in the right direction. If Bob 
is not in the loop or disagrees with the proposal then is quite pointless to 
jump to the TSG again.

I didn't have slides either, only a flipchart to improvise basic organzation 
draft diagrams.

There is a forum threrad where some of us added some comments. Maybe the 
participants in the workgroup and others with questions or answers can help 
squeezing that saucy day?

http://forum.meego.com/showthread.php?t=52

Overall I think it was good, useful and interesting. A day full of questions 
and discussions followed by a little gathering with drinks and food that Amy 
organized so well (and she couldn't enjoy since she had to leave earlier...)

Thanks Amy and thanks Dawn, who chaired the whole day (except the 20 mins she 
took for lunch).

We are still preparing the developer documentation for the first MeeGo release. 
The information currently available can be found at 
http://wiki.meego.com/Documentation_backlog

Note that meego-dev focuses in the development of MeeGo itself. Support for 
application developers is offered in these channels where you might get more

You are mixing 2 things and only one of them is on-topic in meego-dev:

- MeeGo project plans. They will come. Here is the right place to ask and 
request.

- Nokia N900 product plans. Up to Nokia. The MeeGo project has nothing to say 
and here is not a place to ask or request.

Even if the MeeGo project keeps releasing images for the N900 they will not 
have the content average Nokia users expect to find pre-installed in a Nokia 
device (mostly proprietary in the application layer and therefore not suitable 
for MeeGo project releases).

The organization will be publicly available. We are having the code dump 
release this week and with it more roles will be officially appointed. At some 
point all the key roles will be publicly available just like in a regular Linux 
distribution.

The interesting number though, key for the success of the project, is not the 
comparison between Intel and Nokia contributors but the involvement of 
contributors with all kinds of affiliations, including competitors of Nokia or 
Intel and independents.

It sounds like a good description of the goals of the "Extras / Downloads team" 
(final name to be defined) proposed at 
http://wiki.meego.com/Community_working_group#Web_infrastructure

Is there any reason why this team couldn't be part of the Community WG? It's 
all about community software.

[MeeGo-dev] Proposing topics to TSG meetings

2010-03-27 Thread quim.gil
Hi,

We have put a light process in place to propose topics for the Technical 
Steering Group meetings:

http://wiki.meego.com/TSG_meetings

It is already valid for the next TSG meeting taking place next Wednesday (which 
looks like it will be a busy MeeGo day).  :)

[MeeGo-dev] TSG meetings schedule (was Re: First TSG meeting...)

2010-03-18 Thread quim.gil
Hi,

The suitable times for the TSG meeting are the times suitable for those having 
to take part in there. Obvious?  :) The question is: who *must* attend the TSG 
meetings?

Now we have 2 TSG members, no official working groups, no MeeGo roles 
officially apointed and a relatively large amount of individuals interested in 
whatever the TSG says in an IRC meeting. But this is only a transitional 
situation.

Think of the scenario (to start developing soon) where dozens of MeeGo roles 
have a person appointed, where several working groups have their regular work 
ongoing including periodical meetings, where 1-2 people of each working group 
is meant to attend the TSG meetings to take part in the topics related to their 
work, and where the TSG itself has more than 2 people.

Probably that day most people now interested in TSG meetings will not be that 
interested not to miss a single one. That day the agenda of an average TSG 
meeting can be perfectly a combination of formal decisions pushed by working 
groups, unsurprising appointments and other non-hot topics that can be 
perfectly followed through the instant meeting minutes published at meego.com.

Also most of the questions you would like to address now to the TSG will be 
better addressd to the specific working group or the specific channel where the 
maintainers and specialists can be found.

Hi,

The Technical Steering Group just told us that the meeting needs to be moved to 
Wednesday 24 at 20h UTC.

http://meego.com/community/events/2010/meego-technical-steering-group-meeting

Anyway, this is a better time for the regular TSG bi-weekly meetings.
