Sep 03 19:29:00 <shodan45> is there an overview of all the different communities, projects, etc. related to webos?
Sep 03 19:30:42 <ka6sox> I've not seen one
Sep 03 19:30:48 <shodan45> like: webos-ports... openwebos... enyo... lune os...
Sep 03 19:31:11 <bigbluehat> +1 for somebody building that
Sep 03 19:31:32 <ka6sox> the overview?
Sep 03 19:31:52 <bigbluehat> I'm mostly curios in the "Can I run X on my TouchPad?" question :)
Sep 03 19:31:55 <ka6sox> I think I know most of the players and who did what.
Sep 03 19:32:08 <ka6sox> X works on the TP
Sep 03 19:32:15 <bigbluehat> heh
Sep 03 19:32:28 <ka6sox> oh wait…you mean X = some random app?
Sep 03 19:32:34 <bigbluehat> ...yeah, does Wayland!!11! ;)
Sep 03 19:32:37 <bigbluehat> yeah :)
Sep 03 19:32:43 <bigbluehat> solve for X
Sep 03 19:33:03 <shodan45> I have (and still love) a touchpad, but it just has the stock webos on it... I'd love to upgrade and/or hack it, but there's just too much "stuff" to figure out where to begin :(
Sep 03 19:33:12 <Garfonso> there is a thread on webos nation listing a lot of webos related communities and software efforts
Sep 03 19:33:39 <ka6sox> Garfonso, good…i really didn't want to have to write one.
Sep 03 19:35:03 <shodan45> I'm open to writing one... but I don't know any of the info that would go on it :)
Sep 03 19:35:54 <ka6sox> I can write it but it will take time
Sep 03 19:36:42 <shodan45> Garfonso: you have a link? I'm looking but not finding
Sep 03 19:40:42 <shodan45> what project would port webos to new platforms?
Sep 03 19:41:33 <shodan45> I have a beaglebone black w/ 7" touchscreen that would be fun to run webos on
Sep 03 19:43:35 <shodan45> http://forums.webosnation.com/general-news-discussion/324932-webos-status-report.html#post3392173
Sep 03 19:43:43 <shodan45> looks good so far :)
Sep 03 19:52:38 <ka6sox> shodan45, webOS-Ports?
Sep 03 19:56:07 <shodan45> ka6sox: yeah, looks like it
Sep 03 20:43:18 <dwc-> since people are talking http://gigaom.com/2014/08/28/a-failed-experiment-how-lg-screwed-up-its-webos-acquisition/
Sep 03 20:44:19 <Herrie> dwc-: Well there are always people unhappy after an acquisition. Working for an Asian company myself I can understand teh difficulties (culture wise etc)
Sep 03 20:48:03 <dwc-> of course
Sep 03 20:49:30 <Garfonso> shodan45: yes, that was the list I had in mind. :)
Sep 03 21:00:35 <sugardave> dwc-: I feel the failure of the webOS experiment has been greatly exaggerated.  But, that's just me
Sep 03 21:13:02 <bigbluehat> tl;dr   Big CO's still don't get open source and collaborative... well collaborative anything really
Sep 03 22:24:22 <dwc-> and companies are still bad at UX
