Google Groups are just Google Groups your e-mail address comes exactly from Google not maemo, Nokia or other entity involved in the development of Nokia Internet Tablet. Is that wrong ? Is asking questions not related to maemo project ok at this group ? Is this list text-based only ? Can I send multimedia to maemo list to join Google Summer Code ? Is announcement (abr. to Ann.) exactly not advertisement in legal terms. __ Announcement (Ann:) from Wikipedia " Announcement (computing) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Announcement) Jump to: navigation, search This article is about announcement messages in computing. For a definition of the word "announcement", see the Wiktionary entry announcement. In computing, an Announcement (ANN) is a Usenet, Mailing list, or E-mail message sent to notify subscribers that a software project has made a new software release version. Newsgroup announcement recipients often have a name like "comp.somegroup.announce". Mailing list announcement recipients often have a name like "toolname-announce". Most software projects that make announcements are open source. In an announcement the subject line commonly contains the abbreviated prefix ANN:. The contents of an announcement usually contain a title line which contains the tool name, version, release name, and date. Additional contents often fall into the following message sections: About - a short paragraph summary of the tool's purpose Changes - a list of the highest impact changes since the last release (should be brief since the changelog comprises the definitive list) Resources - links to project pages of interest, such as homepage, where to download, bug tracker, etc. Some additional, optional fields might include Highlights, Author(s), License, Requirements, and Release History Announcement messages are usually sent in plain text form.

The purpose is to permit interested students to spend the summer working on OSS rather than flipping burgers to pay for schooling, not to directly finance open source organizations, hence the monetary distribution.

I am not sure what you are trying to say here (or in the rest of the message, actually), but what I've stated is true, based on experience and available data, and will be my last words on this topic. If you are not motivated to mentor/participate as a student in GSoC on a maemo-related project through a different mentoring organization, please refrain from discouraging others from doing so. Students, I'm not sure if this would be a big enough project, but AbiWord's Maemo port could use some TLC, and we've been a mentoring organization twice before and are again this year. Please don't let this thread discourage you from developing ideas, connections with the community, and an application for a project of your choosing.

Re: Maemo not a List of Mentoring Organizations Participating in Google Summer of Code 2008
Sorry, but Noop ;) Completely wrong as before. Students can join opened projects only. If you don't have opened project, how could you expect to have students to join your project. It works exactly as Google pointed out. First project idea than students. Initiative is up to project managers, mentoring organizations tgo open projects not students. Please read Google Summer of Code FAQ and Terms. (you said: Sure, it might require a bit more initiative for the students to find or think of the projects, but GSoC is about finding students with the initiative to get involved and hopefully stay involved - exactly what we're looking for.) Really ? I fully understand what you mean. Too much money goes to students on stipends and pocket money to mentoring organization only ($4,500 vs. $500) and all code goes to Google. Ok, but you still get free workers or workers for free to work with you, under your supervision. Really fantastic idea in our hard times on Wall Street to win free promotion by Google. In my life span I was involved, joined, supervised more than 100 projects, from very small one-man to projects in global education, distance learning, incorporation of virtual corporation, remote managment of VC, rm of VC staff, And project management model provided by Google is not bad. You have a listing of open projects/ideas and have millions of students to join or not to join, making their.own free decision. 20 years ago Usenet / Bietnet was the only place for startups of new projects. Nowadays public/private forums, as a meeting place, provide such opportunity. But there is good project without money and more money provided better project completed. Students in general have no money but have good brains and some free time. Unfortunately, there is a conflicting idea, especially in EU, to have students to join projects, co-financed by the Commission of the EU and let them still call such projects non-business open-source ones. So there is a large number of hot projects, co-financed and sponsored by EU, business, corporations and that part of a project of special importance, involving a lot of work hours, efforts and money in initial stages of design, think-tank, goes listed as open source project to attract free workers, working for free. Today, such strategy of hidden financing of business projects by free workers is called Groups. Groups are created on the Internet and run some projects as open source. If project is successful, it goes to business and generates profits. If unsaccessfull evolves in another project code name. Sometimes developed in parallel to a business project, gives business oriented ppl insight into hot issues for free and none Non-Disclosure Clause is in force. So closing, Google's idea of Summer Code is not bad. Google is a known as a business entity, corporation, public company and give students real opportunity to participate in hundreds of projects. Please name me another corporation, another company or a school, university, showing such initiative and interest in providing space for development of so many open projects. I am not for or against Google but it really makes sense to open such platforms for student project. MIT is ok, unfortunately R&D projects are closed as financed by third parties. So I really see no problem for Maemo to join Google Summer of Code every year. All you need is to file an application form. Darius And . .

As a platform, Maemo has a lot to gain indirectly from improvements to other projects. (Don't forget the upstream projects, too!)

Even not just for scratchbox but for N810 directly too. We have keyboard so using gcc directly on N810 is not as insane as it looks first. One can quite easily apt-get gcc and developer packages and compile C stuff directly on device (tried X, SDL and glib stuff, not gtk or hildon). Vala would be nice addition too.

Re: Maemo not a List of Mentoring Organizations Participating in Google Summer of Code 2008
Noop. Completely wrong. Just read more about Google Summer of Code from http://code.google.com/soc/2008/ " All participating mentoring organizations for 2008 have provided additional information for their would-be students, including a list of sample project ideas. " Being listed as a mentoring organization has nothing to do with past interest of students in activities of a mentoring organization in-spe, as you firstly get listed as a mentoring organization and than attract potential students. $4,500 stipend offered by Google is great chance for any student and much more than N810 apiece. What Google said: " If you find you have a great idea to improve one of the projects you see listed, why not start working on it now? " You are right, Google Summer of Code attracts more mentors than students " Google Summer of Code 2008 is on! Over the past three years, the program has brought together over 1500 students and 2000 mentors from 90 countries worldwide, all for the love of code. We look forward to welcoming more new contributors and projects this year. " But there is a chance to chan ge things for the better and discuss that issue with Google. On the other hand Google with Google Maps application is first-class and first hand competitor to Nokia Tablet as a navigation device. Anyway, attracting students to Maemo is attracting new customers to buy more N810s, so, in our hard times on Wall Street, Nokia not Maemo, should be interested in promotion of its great Nokia Tablet in any form of promotion, provided for free. Lost chance is lost chance and any stipend granted by Google to a prospective student is lost forever. Darius Edgar Lakis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I agree with Quim.

Bugzilla in read-only mode
Hi All, As you might have noticed there are some problems with connection between bugs.maemo.org and the database server. That is why bugzilla is running now in read-only mode. We have notified our ISP and they are working on the problem. Please be patient, it is a high priority for us too to get it fixed. Thanks for your understanding, -- Marcell ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
Cannot click on the button's image
Hi all, I have designed a GUI with image button. I use the function (gtk_button_set_image) to set the button's image. For my design, the button's image need to change very frequently. At the first time I set the button's image, I can click on it, it can go to the button-click function. But after I set the image again, when I click on the button's image, it cannot go to the button-click function. The image I set to the button is in the class of gtkpreview.
