Any OS X developers out there working with OpenMoko?

2008-01-24 Thread Dr. H. Nikolaus Schaller

Hi,
I recently looked into the change history of the dedicated MacOS X  
page in the wiki and I have got the impression that I am the only one  
still doing something and improving the interworking between the Mac  
and OpenMoko:


http://wiki.openmoko.org/index.php?title=MacOS_X&action=history

Is my impression wrong or have you all already bought an iPodTouch or  
iPhone and waits for the SDK?


Please raise your hands...

Nikolaus (hns)

Yes.
I packed gllin on my OABI system and Alessando tested

Well, offcialy it's not a taxes for illegal ustilisation but for an exception 
for private copy.
The joke is the major want to blow up this private copy, but still want to get 
money from the taxe.

this, more the fact that I can't stand any american/french/whatever Idol and I 
don't want to pay for that.

Maybe OpenMoko could be the only platform which could not bring out-of-box an 
audio/video player.

It's not about money, I prefer to give the taxe amount directly to openmoko as 
a donation (paypal button is missing ;) )...

In Hungary there is tax on every _empty_ Compact Disc and DVD. The 
concept is that you will store warez mp3 on them. So when I archive my 
personal photos or software projects I pay tax for the recording 
companies.
I don't know the current state but there was rumour about extending 
the tax on all storage devices (including hard disks and flash pen 
drives). Inside the EU it is legal to import gadget from any country 
from inside the EU without paying taxes. So these devices can be 
bought in the surrounding countries cheaper.


You can disrespect it. It is a really dumb kind of tax :-).
US people may say it is stupid, but at least there are no software 
patents here yet :-).

Oh, in Italy there are no software patents but there is a stupid tax 
like that in Hungary, a tax that you pay on each thing which has the 
ability to store datas (empty CDs, HDDs,...), that's because you could 
"potentially" store something like illegal MP3s, illegal videos and 
pirated copy of anything, so that tax is made (if i can remember well) 
to refound the damage that anyone is subject. So, the logic will say 
that if you pay that tax you CAN copy anything and download anything 
legal or not from the internet, you are paying for that, but no, you 
can't. Yeah, it's a stupid tax but hey you COULD do an illegal use of

I considered that for small modules it may be possible to add extensions
to the corners of the phone, thus making it more square.
The side of the extension facing the phone can also be shielded if
needed to limit interference on both sides.

The speedometer on my Volkswagen says my 10-year old Passat is "capable"

well, in denmark we pay a license to be able to watch the national tv, and
listen to national radio stations, but they did decide that it now had to be
a media license, because it was possible to listen to them online, and see
different programmes online, so now if you have a computer, but no tv, or, a
multimedia phone, you will have to pay what equals to 210 pounds a year.

France : Taxes for video and mp3 playing capacity

2008-01-24 Thread Steven Le Roux
Hi all, 

According to this 
(http://www.pcinpact.com/actu/news/41415-iphone-ipod-taxe-commission-dalbis-copie-pri.htm
 french speaking)

France is about to taxe smartphone which provide 3 features :

- At least 128mo internal memory (neo will have 256)
- at least one touch/key dedicated to audio playing (what about a touchscreen ?)
- mp3 or video playing

Obviously, this taxe is made to be iphone compliant, so I think the neo is 
too...

If this case is occuring everywhere else (other country), I think it could be a 
good idea to distribute OpenMoko without any mp3 player but with a prompt at 
first wifi connexion for example which ask if you want install the related ipkg 
packages...or in an intallation wizard menu

(no I don't want to be taxed again for that ! ;) )

Dear OpenMoko Community

Adam Shaw of Informa, the company behind MWC, OSiM and other 
conferences, asked me to reach out to you, as follows:


--

Calling all developers!

After the success of OSiM 2007, the largest open source in mobile
conference in the world, Informa is pleased to announce the arrival of
OSiM USA, taking place in San Francisco on the 11th and 12th of March.
As well as presentations from the most senior members of the industry,
and from companies such as Google, AOL, Motorola, T-Mobile, Nokia etc
I am also very keen to showcase the latest developments in open source
applications. I am looking to devote an hour of the conference to give
cutting edge developers the opportunity to demonstrate and
explain their newest and freshest applications in front of our global
audience. Presentations would last for around 10-15 minutes. If you
are interested or would like further details please contact me
directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Needless to say, anyone presenting
at the event would be entitled to attend the entire conference at no
cost.

Disclosure:  I am an unpaid adviser to the OSiM conferences and will 
also be presenting at the venue (as I did last year in Madrid).

Brief Community Update, January 24, 2008

2008-01-24 Thread Michael Shiloh

A brief update:

1. Evaluation of GTA02A5 is taking place. There is some excellent 
discussion on the kernel list, e.g.:


http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/openmoko-kernel/2008-January/000606.html
http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/openmoko-kernel/2008-January/000538.html

I believe no hardware flaws have been found yet, but there is still much 
to inspect.


As usual, we will not predict how long this will take, nor when we will 
start shipping GTA02.



2. We've made available the CAD files for the GTA01 case. We're still 
learning how best to deal with making available to FOSS users files 
originally in ProE format. We now have available IGES and STEP formats 
as well. I will continue to work on ways to make this available in a 
useful fashion with as little loss of information as possible.

Sincerely,
Michael

Only by dual-booting or by using some virtualization layer, since
QTopia uses a totally different way of accessing the frame buffer
(does not use X11). You cannot have QTopia and OpenMoko apps running
at the same time on the same screen, period.

Well, you can assume they will run on the GTA hardware, in the same sense
that QTopia does, but this is not the same as saying the run in the
OpenMoko software environment.

I don't think one can comment on either of these until we see whether
they use X or whether they use direct framebuffer. If they use X
then some of their apps *might* be miscible with OpenMoko.

Re: Digital Compass & JavaFX - Additional hardware through custom mods

2008-01-24 Thread Jeremiah Flerchinger
I agree that additional hardware should not be added to the default 
phone.  If people want additional hardware they should get a custom case 
with extra room to support hobby projects and build/test these expansion 
modules themselves.  If some of the modules became mainstream I could 
/eventually/ see these features added to the default configuration.

OpenMoko, statifier & Ermine

2008-01-24 Thread Valery Reznic
Hello, list.

Some time ago Alessandro Iurlano
(http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/User:Alessandro)

asked me to port statifier (http://statifier.sf.net)
to ARM processor, so executable compiled for ARM OABI
can be run on EABI system without fuss about
installing OABI libraries.

I honestly tried my best, but wasn't too successful :(

But I was able to port ermine (http://magicErmine.com)
to ARM.
Currently ermine able to pack OABI little endian ARM
executables. After packaging those executables can be
copied to the EABI (little endian) system and run
here.
No dependencies.

Program can be downloaded  here:
http://magicErmine/downloads.html

Everyone interesting to play are welcome.

Regards,
Valery.

P.S. Ermine is proprietary, but license to use it for
OpenMoko project can be given for free.

Hi Rodolphe,

I'm in Oxford, UK myself, but we have an office in Montpellier. We're
looking into the possibility of becoming a value added reseller.

Cheers,

Re: Status of resellers (Was: GTA02 preorder please?)

2008-01-24 Thread Rodolphe Ortalo
Do you mean the office is at [1] (lat,lon)=(43.7,3.73); [2]
(lat,lon)=(46.8,3.73) or [3] elsewhere.

Note that, from my (possibly subjective) point of view, [1] is not
eligible as "south of France".
[2] would be interesting for me.

NB, I think I am at 43.594353,1.47967.

I wonder if portable computing device with geolocalization devices would
not be convenient sometimes to exchange such information? ;-))

Re: JavaFX

2008-01-24 Thread Wolfgang Spraul
QTopia). But it will probably NOT be easily miscible with the  
OpenMoko software. It's a complete phone stack, like OpenMoko, like  
Android, like QTopia.

You can run QTopia on OpenMoko today.
See
http://qtopia.net/modules/devices/openmoko.php

Once JavaFX, Android are available, we will work on getting them into  
OpenMoko as well.

No. Sun were nice enough to credit OpenMoko for making a superior  
Linux phone (see their blogs from June 2007). But the JavaFX package  
is a complete linux distro with JavaFX installed, based on work at a  
smaller JavaME licensee (Savaje) that Sun acquired. My guess is that  
this will be released next week or the week after, whenever Sun's  
Mobile & Embedded workshop is. Heck, I don't even know if it uses X  
(like OpenMoko) or direct FB (like QTopia). But it will probably NOT  
be easily miscible with the OpenMoko software. It's a complete phone  
stack, like OpenMoko, like Android, like QTopia.


Now if you want Java for the OpenMoko stack, that does exist, as  
Jalimo (among others). See http://www.jalimo.org. You can run  
command line (ssh'd into the phone), AWT, Swing (a bit slow), or GTK- 
In-Java.


See http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Java for an overview of Java  
projects.
