| |
− | == Openmoko's Roadmap explained ==
| |
− |
| |
− | The optimization team finished their work a few weeks ago, but no formal release was made in the end so far. Wolfgang Spraul [http://n2.nabble.com/No-more-optimization-team-tp1637861p1638039.html explained] Openmoko's software strategy for the next 6 months as follows:
| |
− |
| |
− | ====1. Current stable image====
| |
− | Our current stable image is [http://downloads.openmoko.org/releases/Om2008.9/ Om2008.9]
| |
− | We are sometimes cherry-picking fixes into it, but admittedly not as many as we would like. If someone wants to step up to become stable maintainer for this image and cherry-pick more fixes into it, please let me know.
| |
− | Alternatively, a number of other images are available, see [[Distributions]].
| |
− |
| |
− | ====2. Mickey's framework milestones====
| |
− | As many people know, the next big thing for Openmoko will be Mickey's FSO [[OpenmokoFramework]] around D-bus and Python, and the [[Paroli]] telephony UI. A few weeks ago, Mickey released [http://downloads.freesmartphone.org/fso-stable/milestone4.1/ milestone 4]. In late January, he plans to come out with milestone 5, in late March with milestone 6.
| |
− | See here for a more detailed roadmap: http://trac.freesmartphone.org/roadmap
| |
− |
| |
− | ====3. Next major release, Om2009====
| |
− | After the next 2 FSO milestones, Openmoko will fork off a stable branch, and spend 2-3 months on testing and bug fixing. This will lead to our next major release, Om2009. The telephony UI will be Paroli, see http://code.google.com/p/paroli/
| |
− | The way things are going right now, we will probably have this release mid-next year.

| |
− | == Infrastructure ==
| |
− | * The hottest and bloodiest kernels are at [http://people.openmoko.org/andy Andy's]. They have Nicolas Dufresne's patches for WSOD, a power supply driver ([http://lists.openmoko.org/nabble.html#nabble-td1506725 pcf50633 rewrite]), touchscreen reliability improvements, a WLAN driver using the mainline SDIO stack, Android-readiness, plus all the Kernel features and fixes between 2.6.24 and 2.6.28, especially [http://lists.openmoko.org/nabble.html#nabble-td1618262 resume/suspend improvements]. As these kernels are larger than 2MB, one need to [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2008-December/036921.html meddle with u-Boot] or use Qi to test them and the newer /sys.
| |
− | * Openmoko used to build its distribution using its own copy of OpenEmbedded's Bitbake tree, hosted in its own git under project name [http://git.openmoko.org/?p=openmoko.git;a=summary org.openmoko.dev]. That project has been terminated, fixes or updates should now be directly committed upstream to OpenEmbedded.

− | == Hardware ==
| |
− | * Erin documentad how to use the [[Manually_using_Bluetooth#OBEX|OBEX]] protocol to send files via Bluetooth.

| |
− | == Community ==
| |
− | * Android really jumped up in the hit-parade of the [http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Wiki_statistic_numbers#November.2C_2008 most popular pages].
| |
− | * By popular demand, Openmoko opened a virtual [http://www.cafepress.com/openmoko_inc merchandise store] online. Everybody is invited to post cool t-shirts design. Profits will go to bounties and other programs to aid the community.
| |
− | * The FreeRunner is on the cover of December's [http://www.lfymag.com/index.asp?id=13 Linux for You] magazine.
| |
− | * The community is trying out the bounty system at [http://cofundos.org/projects.php?tag=openmoko cofundos.org]. As a start, there is one offer for the accelerated X driver, but media player, volume control/mixer, wifi network manager have also been discussed. This is still a social experiment. We need help and more discussion to define the bounties and claim conditions more precisely.

− | Did you know it? Sean Moss-Pultz introduced OpenMoko's Neo1973 on November 7th, 2006. It was the "Mystery Guest" at the inaugural Open Source in Mobile ([http://www.osimworld.com/newt/l/handsetsvision/osim08/ OSiM]) conference in Amsterdam. The link to the presentation on [[Openmoko:Current_events]] is broken, but one can still [http://web.archive.org/web/19960101-re_/http://www.openmoko.com/files/OpenMoko_Amsterdam.pdf web archive the PDF] or read it online at [http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS2986976174.html linuxdevices]. Oh, the screenshots looked so cool on the presentation !
