Re: Money makes the world go round? Yes: new paid developer program for OpenPhoenux/Goldelico
Maybe not as a replacement for someones income, but I am very interested in the competitive aspect of having bounties and completing the tasks. It's a lot like reputation points on the websites like http://stackoverflow.com/ having actual money compensation is a great incentive IMHO. -Jason On Wed, Jul 11, 2012 at 8:11 AM, Dave dave...@gmail.com wrote: As a professional full time employed software developer (in Australia), I am on around 300AU a day, I can't see the incentive scheme working ... sorry On Wed, Jul 11, 2012 at 5:38 PM, Christophe Drevet christophe.dre...@gmail.com wrote: 2012/7/11 Dr. H. Nikolaus Schaller h...@goldelico.com: We did have that, but IMHO failed. To my surprise there were more offers for bounties (even free GTA04 boards) than developers willing to do something. Maybe a bounty of 50/100 bucks doesn't attract anyone these days? If 50/100 bucks doesn't attract anyone, maybe 500/1000 could. I thought about using a reward offering page for each feature or bug important for some people. Do you have a bugtracker or something to track those ? Maybe we could add a plugin for people to offer bounties on specific tickets and for dev to see how much people want them fixed and what they can earn by stepping in. Maybe I can help finding/writing such a plugin (depending of the language used) Of course, that is just useful when we have some dev around. I, myself, won't step in as I don't have much time, and enough skill to work on GTA04 even if I had some money to buy one. Hardware/embedded development is somewhat harder than just software development. Good luck with this project.

I'm unsure what you mean. What type of upgrades are you looking for? I've been trying to use it as my daily, but have found the response time is dreadfully slow. Understandable, however this is usually related to which 'distro' you're using. I have found QTmoko to be the fastest and SHR close behind. The older version of AoF (Android) is also reasonably fast.

[2008.8, FDOM] Addressbook entries
I have a question about how you guys are entering your contacts. If I receive a SMS the phone number reports +1555444 then when I receive a call it reports the same number but missing the '+' It seems that these are looked up in the address book and reported as two different phone numbers. is anyone else seeing the same results and has anyone remedied this?

Re: QtExtended 4.4.2 : GPRS
I tried gprs and only managed to cause kernel panic. I gave up and went back to 2008.09 If your provider needs a proxy, many times you need to enter the same for DNS and not opendns. Have not tried gprs on 4.4.2 yet. will try tomorrow and let you know. Rakshat Oh, I know the details, but thanks anyway. I have been trying to figure out if the reason for my inability to get data in or out through gprs relates to a dns problem (I use opendns) or a routing issue, or something entirely else. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Anyone interested in mentoring?
I've owned my freerunner since july and have tinkered with it a lot trying out everything you guys throw out there. But I honestly don't know much about what I am doing... I'm to the point where I'd love to actually submit helpful bug reports and be able to SSH into my freerunner which I can't figure out how to put all the steps together for it to work for me. I guess I know enough to get me in trouble, but I also know enough to undo what I did to get out of trouble also. What I am asking is for someone to be willing to help me understand what I'm doing so that I can become helpful instead of dangerous. In the end, I would like to produce a better how-to less technical than what is available now to help others get started who are lost in technical data and instructions.

Re: Back to the basics: improving user experience
I agree to this point. I would rather wait a few months to have a rock solid core functioning device than one that works now with something that isn't going to be used long term. quote who=Didier Raboud Vasco Névoa wrote: I agree with you partly; the main efforts should go into getting the new framework out - *as long as it runs on a rock-solid core system*. So I support the idea of accelerating the FSO integration... but in the meantime people have to use the sucking Qtopia ware in their everyday life, because there is no realistic alternative. FSO is still very incomplete at the user level. Today, the complete system is not reliable and the reliable system is not complete at all. If you fix the core and qtopia now, everybody gets a working phone, and FSO gets a more reliable development core. You favor the users, which are the noisier people. ;) If you jump start FSO into main distro, there will still not exist a complete system that can be used everyday. You favor the developers, who could wait a little more (but not long!) and ARE ALSO USERS. So please just make it work solidly, and then integrate FSO. :) Well... I would rather let a bit more freedom to the team : if you (as in the team which will make the iFoan obsolete) think that breaking useability or functionality or anything else could serve the cause : do it ! Please decide your roadmap and make it public ! I (personnally) don't care if I am not able to use my Neo as a phone (and anything else possible) for 2-3-4-5 months : I have a working phone. BUT, what I would like to know is _when_ I will get _what_ functionality. I you think that breaking the whole stuff for a moment will serve a precise goal, please do it !

Re: LED notification
this is exactly what I was trying to get at. I just couldn't find the correct words to communicate this effectively. My reason is because if I suspend my phone then I walk away and return to it, I have no visible notification I missed an event unless I touch the screen and see if my phone is still suspended. If I'm not constantly touching the screen to make sure it's still suspended and I did miss an event. Then my power consumption just increased and my battery life is quickly diminishing.

Unfortunately I can't Not really a PMU but an i2c device for just doing that. We might be using one or another in future products To me, having the phone able to perform basic notification functions (LED blink, vibrate, make a sound) on certain events, even when the phone is on standby, seems like a very desirable - not to say obvious - feature. Well you can simply wake and do event type actions like vibrate and flash LEDs then, the stimulus you are responding to like incoming call will be a CPU wake event so that lot will work. What can't be done (because of a completely Linux-centric POV in the design) is anything while the CPU is off in suspend. We can leave a LED on during suspend, but there is no intelligence to flash it or whatever.

LED notification
Someone posted awhile back and asked about a blinking LED to notify missed call or message and someone responded with can't do it when the phone is suspended. In the current state, if you don't have your setting to suspend automatically, wouldn't the phone wake up from suspended mode to notify of an event? and while in that state, couldn't we make the LED blink? ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Suspend vs. Lock vs. Screen Off
I'm using the latest FDOM, I believe it's based on 2008.09. My question is what is the fundamental difference between pressing the power button to cause the phone to suspend, pressing the aux button to make the phone lock the screen and not pressing any buttons and letting the software timeout. Mainly, I'm interested in battery life and how each action reduces power consumption. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
