Harald, with help from Roh and Gismo, has been updating / consolidating our server infrastructure and will soon migrate to modern hardware. I'm working on transferring the openmoko.org trademark and domain ownership to a recognized non-profit entity in the Free Software community. This is an important step that we've wanted to do for some time. More details will follow. In the meantime, we're actively looking for a volunteer with strong sysadmin skills to continue to maintain the infrastructure after these changes. The basic setup will consist of debian systems with apache, lighttpd, mediawiki, trac, svn, git, exim, mailman, cyrus-imapd, openvz, vsftpd and munin. If anyone is interested, please contact myself and Harald off-list. Finally, I want to give a personal thanks to Roh and Gismo for all their work keeping our infrastructure alive. Sean </pre> Sean Moss-Pultz 2012-05-22T14:00:04 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.openmoko.community/61714 <pre>In the spirit of the recent ideas threads here, I'd like to share my ideas that I would like to achieve with the gta04, as part of a larger system. I wrote it in an article format, and it isn't finished, but nothing ever is. So here goes. ** introduction I'm interested in free client - server clusters, with wearable nodes, and laptop nodes. Free software is pretty strong server side, but somewhat weaker on the client, especially small systems such as phones. It should be possible to leverage the server side strength on the client machines. Since a server is part of the equation, complexity can be offloaded there. The idea is somewhat like an instance of the Google or Apple stack, but personal, running on your own servers, and geared towards making it possible for you to do what you want rather than generating ad revenue streams. ** concretely Okay, so what does that mumbo-jumbo translate to in practice? Concretely I'm working on a Puppet server manifest, that describes all the services one might want to use on the server, and matching client software that runs on the phone and/or laptop. Since the point is that you should not need weeks to set all this up, I make concrete choices. These will not appeal to everyone, but are of course open for discussion. *** flatrate 3G/4G The internet connection is assumed to be flatrate. It's pretty cheap here in Sweden anyway. The connection must of course still be assumed to be intermittent. *** Fedora I'm used to Fedora, so I will use that for a base operating system. *** Puppet Puppet handles the configuration. Puppet can be used on most distributions. *** Nagios Nagios is used for monitoring, so a competetive uptime can be achieved. *** Single sign on The personal cluster consists of many different services. To make them more integrated, the 389 ldap server is used to provide a shared user database, and the different services are configured to authenticate against the 389 instance. *** Dovecot IMAPD Mail is important to the personal cluster. Dovecot is a good imapd. It is lightweight, yet featureful. *** mapping/location data open streetmap maps. A gpsd on the client feeds the cluster with location data. *** instant messaging irc clients on the laptop or phone uses the server as gateway to other systems. Bitlbee is used for the proxy. znc fronts bitlbee, which handles the connections and logging. *** social networks A private diaspora instance is used as mediator. *** voip linphone is used on the client, and asterisk on the server. *** camera All photos are uploaded to the server, and things like bar code scanning etc. can be made server side. *** woodchuck Woodchuck is a system to handle a mobile cache, when the connection to the cluster is down. http://hssl.cs.jhu.edu/~neal/woodchuck/ *** server side transcoding many media formats on the web are not really suitable for mobile applications. The personal cluster handles this by downloading and transcoding the media server side, and then making it accessible to the client. </pre> joakim< at >verona.se 2012-05-21T09:37:37 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.openmoko.community/61709 <pre>Hello kind members of Openmoko mailing list, I'm suffering from a very bizarre wake up problem related to the Neo Freerunner phone. The phone wakes itself up after being powered off a few hours later (e.g. if I shut the phone off before going to bed when I wake up the phone is already switched on). I thought at first this was a hardware problem related to the battery, but this doesn't seem to be the case as it has happened on two different phones after setting reminders in the QtMoko calendar (using v26). Unfortunately, even after removing the reminders the phone still wakes itself up. I'm wondering if it is possible to clear all data causing the phone to wake up. Thanks, Alon. </pre> alonivtsan 2012-05-21T04:21:02 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.openmoko.community/61698 <pre>Hi, Am 16.05.2012 um 15:40 schrieb Timo Juhani Lindfors: ... and since I personally want to make sure that the Openmoko Community is not breaking apart because communication is interrupted (we have had several times in the past), I have installed an unofficial safety net for this community mailing list: http://www.openphoenux.org Please subscribe yourself in time (so that you can be reached in case we suddenly need it) and switch/use the backup list if the main list is down.

I'm currently doing distribution upgrades on a number of the openmoko.org servers, so please expect service outages here and there. Yesterday there was already an upgrade of downloads.openmoko.org, including the ftp, http and rsync servie there. Also, some non-public machines like the monitoring system have been upgraded. Right now www.openmoko.org and wiki.openmoko.org are facing some upgrade related downtime. For now, I'm not touching the git and email/imap/mailinglist setup for the time being, so the most essential communications medium (mailing lists) will not be affected at all.

Nikolaus Schaller 2012-05-16T06:19:37 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.openmoko.community/61664 <pre>So I am trying to format (Flash?) my Freerunner and put Qi (Bootloader) and SHR (OS) onto NAND. I've downloaded the ubifs image from the SHR website. What I am curious about is: Why isn't there a fancy program that does all this for me!? :) JK What I am really curious about is: Is the bootloader included in the ubifs image? I have a feeling it's a separate file. Is there a specific order I should flash? Right now, Android installed on the NAND. Do I need to remove this, or should the "flashing" process take care of this for me? I would like to replace the Android OS completely. No such thing as too much detail, I appreciate any response.

I think i am now very close ;-) The key is to have as big buttons as possible. Here is picture and video of how it looks now: http://activationrecord.net/radekp/pub/keyboard.png http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyN7wS66y_I It still needs some more work, but it's currently very usable and i am really happy how it works. E.g. the video was taken with N900 in my left hand and still with the SMS layout i made no mistake. My plan for now is to finish it up and remove all those 5!! QtMoko input methods in favour of this one. I can make installable packages of the old methods if anyone is interested. This should be part of v45. For v46 i can try to implement customizable layouts and unicode characters.

GRiera. </pre> Griera 2012-05-07T17:46:32 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.openmoko.community/61596 <pre>Hello, There was considerable tension in the community lately regarding the Openmoko community resources, namely docs.openmoko.org , wiki.openwoko.org , svn.openmoko.org , people.openmoko.org . The problem is that not only the servers were unstable and apparently required a kick every now and then but also that there's no clearly visible contact person and the whole situation regarding the resources is causing honest concern and inconvenience in community. Right at the moment svn.openmoko.org and docs.openmoko.org are still inaccessible (since weeks) and nobody really knows how to proceed. For the community to be able to deduce a way to manage this situation i would like to ask everybody involved to clarify these questions: 1. Who owns the servers and who pays which bills? How to get a proxy or transfer the responsibility for the openmoko.org domain and infrastructure to other person in case the original owner becomes unavailable? Whom can you propose to take this role? 2. Who actually has admin credentials, is supposed to care about things like server outages, and what is the suggested procedure to contact that person? Is there a proxy for this position? How to transfer the credentials to another person in case the original maintainer becomes unavailable? 3. What is the practical and reliable way to do administrative tasks like e.g. obtaining the dump of the wiki and docs.openmoko.org bugtracker database? 4. What suggestions do you have to improve the status quo? Thanks in advance for your replies and commitment.

I've noticed some regressions/instability in v44 that I'm unable to debug now.

It was great, and I'm sad the site is empty now. Does anyone has any backup of those images/files ? Thanks a lot Thomas/AstHrO </pre> THomas HOCEDEZ 2012-05-03T15:19:27 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.openmoko.community/61556 <pre>Hi, we have developed a prototype for a 80 button QWERTY keyboard PCB that could eventually be connected/integrated into the GTA04. It should fit into a specially designed battery cover so that you can easily stow it away if not needed. Such battery covers could be produced individually through 3D printing solving the issue of manageing and stocking 20 different key layouts. But watch yourself how we think it can look like: http://youtu.be/WM94%5fR5eKcc There is also a new video showing a comparison with some other keyboards: http://youtu.be/wGASnE1zGh4 Pleas tell us if you like this idea and what you would like to pay for such an extension unit through the Wishlist function of our shop: http://www.handheld-linux.com/wiki.php?page=GTA04%3AKeyboard Two issues are still to be developed: a) how to reliably connect it to the GTA04 PCB (soldering copper wires or a FFCs is a little difficult so it should have a tiny, flexible but robust B2B cable). Maybe, we can use a micro-USB socket or similar (we need to connect 6 wires). This may also need a redesign of the GTA04 board (for a nice plug) b) design a 3D printable case with key-caps that is robust enough If you want to support us for developing this idea, please give us a kickstart donation. Nikolaus PS: the keyboard driver for the TCA8418 is already part of Linux 3.3 - and has been backported to the 2.6.32-kernel.
