Re: About the future of the freesmartphone.org middleware
Hi all. I've never seen someone using the conference-feature. I think selecting the provider is more important. (this one really annoys me, since i am near an border and simply can't phone until i get out auf alien range, if the phone switched one time, even reboot doesn't help...). I also miss the possibility to choose loudness of the ringtone reasonably. Most other phones are even able to choose a ringtone based of the caller! Apart from that i comply with you. kind regards, Thamos Am 21.07.2012 20:45, schrieb Simon Busch: > Hey everybody, > > as a lot of you may have noticed we did two releases in the past months > of the FSO stack.

Re: Ubuntu / Firefox OS for Openmoko
Hi, i am ambiguous about that. I think we have already enough Operating Systems with QtMoko and SHR and Replicant. (Did i miss a really working distro?) But, as it seems to me, we don't have enough software developers, and as Mozilla and Ubuntu are big projects, this seems to be a way to use their ressources to get some nice features to our phones. i don't know anything about the OSs themself to evaluate them. And i don't know if they are really interested in working with us, as you wrote, they are searching big players I think the question is if we have people on our side who want to start such an project (and try to drag some of their developers in). greets, Thamos Am 11.01.2013 11:38, schrieb Christoph Pulster: > Hi, > > I am interested what you think about Ubuntu Smartphone version and > Firefix OS in combination with Openmoko hardware. > > As far as I understand, both are looking for a big player in the > smartphone hardware market to establish their software platform on the > mobile market. > > Wouldnt be the combination of open source hardware in shape of Openmoko > (GTA04 !) and open soruce software a nice idea ? > > > Christoph > > ___ > Openmoko community mailing list > community@lists.openmoko.org > http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: [Community] OpenPhoenux Logo contest - Phase 2 (voting)
Hi all,
I voted for 5, 7, 8 and 10. I liked nearly all logos, so i did choose by
exclusion. 1 and 3 where nice eye-catchers, but i didn't find much
relation to the project. Second may be a nice backround picture, but i
think it's not scaleable at all. Number for droped out because of
scalability, too. The sixth i liked, but i find it too nerdlike, reminds
me somehow of startrek... Number 9 dropped out because i don't see a
direct connection with the tux. This project is about free hardware, not
software (despite the fact that we need software, too...) Proposal 11 i
can't connect to the project well, too.
Number five i choose because of its eye-catcher abilities. For scaling
small one may have to use the phoenix alone, without the device and the
whirls underneath. Number 7 i liked because auf it's simplicity. But i
don't know, if i have seen something like that already somewhere. I
think proposal 8 does connect at best with our devices. Maybe the broken
chain should be symbolised a little bit more clear. The 11th i chose
because it connects well to the fact that its about a hardware project,
the symbol alone is nice to use at small scales and i haven't seen much
symbols like that already (high recognizability)
so far, my 2 cents...
