1 aprile 2009 alle 19.33Summer of Code slots available for LXDE through Debian
There are still opportunities for people interested in working on LXDE as a summer of code project. We are in touch for example with the Debian project, who offered to give spots to students from the LXDE project for example for a better integration. Also, new student projects are welcome. The summer of code program offers student stipends of 4500,- USD for studying and development work on specific free and open source projects.
Please check it out and apply as soon as possible. Also get in touch with us, so we can support your application.
The Debian program is at:
http://socghop.appspot.com/org/show/google/gsoc2009/debian
and http://wiki.debian.org/gsoc and on #debian-soc on
irg.debian.org.
The application deadline is approaching soon. It is important to apply before 19:00 UTC April 3rd. Applications can still be adapted and specified with mentors after that date. You might regard your first application as a version 0.1 maybe. So, please, dont be shy. Good luck!

1 aprile 2009 alle 13.25New relationships unveiled at CTIA
A little more than a month ago we were unveiling advancements to the OMAP platform at Mobile World Congress, and today, with the opening of CTIA, we have more news that will make it easier for developers to innovate on the OMAP platform, as well as bring a whole new level mobile experience to the user.
Symbian announced the Zoom OMAP34x-II MDP is the first hardware platform to support the open source code for Symbian Platform, specifically the Symbian^3 release. We see this as a means for any one to get up and running on Symbian using the OMAP architecture. Support on Zoom 2 will make it easier to develop applications and spark innovation within the broad community of open-source Symbian developers. Check out what Symbian has to say in their blog. Ready to get started now? You can order your Zoom II today.
Recognizing the need to deliver a PC-like browsing experience, TI and Adobe announced that the OMAP platform is going to support the optimized Abobe Flash Player. What does that mean? Any Flash content that you can access, view and experience on your PC, you will be able to do the same on your mobile device. With all the Flash content available, the experience will be seamless. For all you developers out there - this will be supported on the Zoom 2 as well. What kind of application will you create?

Economy 3.0 - How do we get there?
Sunday, December 14, 2008 9:37:00 AM |
||
| I recently blogged on my proposed solution to getting out of this recession. Now it's time to build a plan to get there.There are two components.1) The network2) The applications that the network hostsI am in the process of putting together a project plan for the network portion. I plan to have it completed by the end of the month. I will be shaping it around the below questions. In essence it will serve as both a business and operations plan.What about the applications that the network will support? What is the demand for services, what will people pay etc?The below questions need to be answered by anyone wishing to build an application for the network. I got them from todays OCEN meeeting.Prerequisite homework: Personal Claritywhy am i doing this?examine your reason & reflect - must right them downa multi year journey with high cost and (potential) high rewards1. Is there an unmet need? -This is most important -Not just a solution looking for a problem -Ask many people to establish this -But peel the onion two or three levels -Observe people who claim there is a need. | ||

Gas station Wi-Fi makes so much sense

Free Software Foundation lawsuit against Cisco
Friday, December 12, 2008 12:00:00 PM |
||
| As covered at lwn and other sites, the Free Software Foundation (FSF) has filed a lawsuit against Cisco. This came as a big surprise to me, but a very welcome one. At gpl-violations.org, we had our fair share of dealing with Cisco (and particularly Linksys, a Cisco division). Never we have received any entirely satisfactory response. Sure, when you notify them of some GPL infringement, they will take some steps here and there. But in all those years, I have not seen a case where there was a thorough response. Whatever was disclosed as 'GPL source' was incomplete, didn't compile, and with the next firmware release there was again no source code for that new release. And then came the next product, sourced-in from a different OEM, and the entire process had to re-start from scratch. Yes, they have gone and hired some engineer[s] to explicitly deal with the GPL related issues, like they have taken other steps in the right direction. But it was always superficial. Never addressing the problem at the root, i.e. have a proper in-house business process and supply chain license management to ensure the next product is not yet again a copyright infringement on GPL licensed software. It is so easy to resolve at the source, and so hard to fix later. So the FSF's decision to take this problem to court is the most appropriate response that one can think of. A company of the size of Linksys clearly has the manpower, skill and resources - as well as the economic power on their suppliers - to once and all resolve any GPL licensing issues they might have. Not only to the bare minimum that they might think, but all the way to leave any legal grey area whatsoever. Only if there is a demonstration of a _factual_ legal risk rather than a virtual legal risk, they will get the motivation necessary to just 'stay clean' and not try to bend the license to its extremes. | ||

gst-openmax demo on the beagleboard
Friday, December 12, 2008 11:03:00 AM |
||
| Here is a video showing off gst-openmax on the beagleboard. It’s a 720×400 MPEG-4 video at 24 fps. Essentially gst-openmax is using TI’s OpenMAX IL implementation, which is using the DSP on the OMAP 3530 to decode the video. The CPU usage on the ARM side is about 10% which leaves plenty of room to decode audio or anything else. When debugging is turned off on the dsp-bridge kernel driver, the CPU usage is less, but it’s more unstable. So, if you want to try this out on your beagleboard, just follow these instructions. If you don’t have one, what are you waiting for?! Everything is open source, ready for eager hackers, except the DSP software, which is provided as binaries and you need to run an installer that extracts them after you agree with the “free for non-commerical”-use license. Texas Instruments is also providing all the tools to write DSP software publicly, so you can write your own open source codecs if you want | ||

Thinkpad T60's ethernet device doesn't work
Friday, December 12, 2008 4:18:00 AM |
||
| If you have the Thinkpad T60 laptop, maybe you will have a problem - ethernet device doesn't work. With command "dmesg", we can get some error messages that is just like:0000:02:00.0: The NVM Checksum Is Not ValidACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:02:00.0 disablede1000e: probe of 0000:02:00.0 failed with error -5It means the contents of EEPROM on the ethernet device was broken, because the checksum is not valid. For all I know, so many Thinkpad T60 laptops has the problem cause e1000e or e1000 driver return the error message and the device doesn't work.Here is a patch to add a parameter - "eeprom_bad_csum_allow" for the e1000e kernel driver:e1000e-allow_eeprom_bad_checksums.patchTo enable the option will lead e1000e driver to ignore checking checksums of EEPROM. So you can use the command to load the e1000e driver be patched to enable your ethernet device:sudo modprobe e1000e eeprom_bad_csum_allow=1BTW, I think you might see the similar patch for e1000 driver, it also do the same thing.Well, my patch is base on original kernel of openSUSE 11.0, it also can be applied on the latest version of kernel, because the e1000e driver doesn't change with the security update. | ||
