**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Oct 14 02:59:57 2010 Oct 14 03:20:26 do they sell the moorestone platform or give them out to developers? Oct 14 04:13:06 q Oct 14 06:15:22 *yawn* moin Oct 14 06:16:01 good morning, Myrtti. Oct 14 06:44:28 I am using openSUSE 11.3, is there a repository for meego devel tools (sdk, emulator, etc) ? Oct 14 07:01:46 bogdan: http://wiki.meego.com/SDK/ is the starting point Oct 14 07:02:37 bogdan: we have packages for openSUSE 11.3 but not much tested yet Oct 14 07:04:29 fabo: thanks, it seems that the wiki is still in construction, I'll wait for a while Oct 14 07:38:52 it is http://wiki.meego.com/SDK without the tailing / ... Oct 14 07:39:00 bogdan: --^ Oct 14 07:40:07 veli: ping? Oct 14 07:40:38 that would be somewhat relevant to your SDK activities http://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8468 ? Oct 14 07:41:09 anyway many people have been asking automated testing support with fast feedback on development machine Oct 14 07:43:59 qoqr Oct 14 08:10:12 vilvo: we need to take that to 1.2 Oct 14 08:10:44 for what ever reason it now says 1.1 Oct 14 08:11:23 vilvo: and we need to get you in the SDK activities as agreed.. :) Oct 14 08:12:41 sure, I need to update that to 1.2 and let me know where I can help you :) Oct 14 08:13:16 I'll invite you soonish.. Now we are just trying to get the 1.1 out. Oct 14 08:13:47 sure, regarding that #8468 our team starts to work on that already Oct 14 08:53:51 Morning, all Oct 14 08:56:46 is about the best news i've read this year Oct 14 08:56:50 The PR 1.3 update is quite close now, and with that you can easily dual boot between Maemo and Meego on your N900. Oct 14 09:03:46 meh Oct 14 10:22:26 is anyone here a network engineer? able to finalise the detailed design of a resiliant (vlan trunks, link aggregation, virtual machines, dual-switch fabric, dual firewalls...) network design? Or does anyone know a volunteer? Oct 14 10:23:44 ideally to help put a design together ... otherwise to remind me of stuff I've forgotten and suggest modern kit Oct 14 13:29:46 . Oct 14 13:30:05 ! Oct 14 13:30:31 and yet my jabber is down... Oct 14 13:31:32 Aard: is pmo jabber up for you ? (and actually pmo irc too) Oct 14 13:32:00 yes to both Oct 14 13:32:59 are you onsite?

Oct 14 15:32:58 netbook screens are quite small, so apps need to be given the most possible Oct 14 15:33:06 so the meego interface is really more of a "Home page" Oct 14 15:33:32 thiago_home: yeah that is a good point my netbook is 1024x600 Oct 14 15:33:45 yep Oct 14 15:33:45 advise me for a new netbook Oct 14 15:34:08 niala_sad: Lenovo IdeaPad Oct 14 15:34:08 niala_sad: the acer aspire one series are very nice Oct 14 15:34:10 lovely keyboard Oct 14 15:34:25 or if you have the funds get a lenovo Oct 14 15:34:44 i have the funds Oct 14 15:35:04 niala_sad: lenovo and linux are really a match made in heaven Oct 14 15:35:12 i need a silent netbbok Oct 14 15:35:22 niala_sad: most are Oct 14 15:35:37 and nice keyborad i use it all day Oct 14 15:36:01 niala_sad: the lenovo keyboards on their laptops are great.. not sure about the netbooks Oct 14 15:36:14 as I said the acer aspire one keyboard is great to use Oct 14 15:36:25 lovely response of the keys Oct 14 15:36:41 thanks for your answers Oct 14 15:38:12 If I persevere I guess I could figure our how to get my mobile broadband detected Oct 14 15:38:19 *out Oct 14 15:39:09 ZTE MF112 USB dongle Oct 14 15:40:12 Is there a nice meego community wiki set up yet like the ubuntuwiki Oct 14 15:40:41 http://wiki.meego.com/Main_Page Oct 14 15:41:03 ah cool Oct 14 15:44:15 Atom Z520 is not very powerfull ? http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/asus-eee-pc-t91-review/ Oct 14 15:45:10 asus T91 meego compatible?

Oct 14 16:15:18 qgil: MeeGollum is an awesome name!

Oct 14 16:49:34 CULV-laptops ftw :) Oct 14 16:49:40 n900>n810>n800>n770>n550>n450>n270 Oct 14 16:49:56 * RST38h makes an attempt at satanic laughter Oct 14 16:55:24 RST38h: :) Oct 14 16:55:33 RST38h: I'm good at it, I can help :D Oct 14 16:56:00 n700 was not "n" though :) Oct 14 16:56:05 770* Oct 14 16:56:43 ah, it is insignificant :) Oct 14 17:00:29 * Stskeeps finds the current trademark discussion ironic considering http://en.opensuse.org/File:OpenSUSE_Trademark_Guidelines.pdf (check 'distribution' part) Oct 14 17:01:17 * NishanthMenon looks at http://www.smeagol.tcd.ie/Smeagol-licence.pdf :P Oct 14 17:01:47 hehe Oct 14 17:05:52 re trademark discussion: I tried to help and I'll go back to my core tasks Oct 14 17:05:59 Intel GMA 3150 compatible meeego ? Oct 14 17:07:09 qgil: i think it was a good post - we do need very visible compliance documents and trademark guidelines and situations like this should be less in the future Oct 14 17:08:58 * Stskeeps gets back to his hacking as well Oct 14 17:10:29 * felipec pauses his hacking to see the trademark discussion Oct 14 17:11:34 heh Oct 14 17:12:13 auke: so - we have this battery charging daemon on n900 and i was wondering if there's any other way than a init.d for something like this Oct 14 17:13:07 what would you want to do differently? Oct 14 17:13:19 auke: (we had a discussion about how to do things in a proper meego style fast boot way) Oct 14 17:14:08 Stskeeps: it largely depends on the startup requirements, restart requirements etc. Oct 14 17:14:27 Stskeeps: other than that, an init.d script seems appropriate until we get a different place Oct 14 17:14:30 :nod: Oct 14 17:14:39 I do need to write a watchdog for it Oct 14 17:15:06 if that is crucial, or the application is unstable, we might need to work something else out Oct 14 17:15:26 do we care how fast the application is started at boot? I suspect not Oct 14 17:15:27 DSME has a 'process watchdog' feature as well Oct 14 17:15:35 yes Oct 14 17:15:52 I need to look into that Oct 14 17:16:15 well, for battery management it matters as we have to be able to start charging quick enough for not shutting down again on low battery.. but some guidelines on how to deal with various daemons and things would be good Oct 14 17:16:46 can we read the battery status out from sysfs? Oct 14 17:17:09 i think we can check if it needs startup right now or not.. but i'm not sure Oct 14 17:17:17 that's the idea Oct 14 17:17:42 1 - boot, 2 - read battery status immediately, 3 - if (low!) charge immediately else defer charge Oct 14 17:17:55 :nod: Oct 14 17:18:24 we had it so low that turning on backlight could turn off the device :) Oct 14 17:18:35 but yeah.. it's a special case Oct 14 17:19:26 i should really make a proper writeup of what we do at init on n900 before discussing :) Oct 14 17:28:36 hello and sorry for disturbing good iddle like these but i was wondering is there clear step by step installation guide for n900 ? Oct 14 17:29:50 ~meego-n900 Oct 14 17:29:52 extra, extra, read all about it, meego-n900 is grab image from repo.meego.com (meego-handset-armv7l-n900) and follow http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N900/Install/MMC Oct 14 17:30:29 Stskeeps: we need to make sure not to make something n900-specific from the start Oct 14 17:30:44 that would make a mess Oct 14 17:30:51 samsunix: does that help? Oct 14 17:31:07 reading.... Oct 14 17:33:10 i had android installed before and I think i did something like that before ... prob is i cant make it boot from mmc Oct 14 17:34:32 this is a bit different :) Oct 14 17:34:35 yeah Oct 14 17:34:37 auke: and yeah Oct 14 17:34:44 android had autoinstaller ^_^ Oct 14 17:34:53 and it sucked Oct 14 17:34:58 samsunix: you learn more unix this way Oct 14 17:34:58 :P Oct 14 17:35:09 auke: as generic as possible.. second purpose to n900 is to be a 'teaching' platform to arm device porters Oct 14 17:35:20 dosnt have keyboard support, it didnt support my sim card or isp etc etc etc Oct 14 17:36:56 well, our calling stack is still in it's infancy - we don't have a UI for pin entry yet Oct 14 17:36:59 :P Oct 14 17:37:36 oh ok... Oct 14 17:37:48 Stskeeps: so no sim pin then? Oct 14 17:37:49 but let's see where 1.2 leads us Oct 14 17:38:02 lardman|home: if you have PIN enabled, it won't work Oct 14 17:38:04 i need second n900 for these :D Oct 14 17:38:07 ok Oct 14 17:38:27 good to know Oct 14 17:41:00 hello everyone! i have a problem with meego on the n900. i downloaded this image: http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/1.1.80/1.1.80.1.20101012.1/handset/images/meego-handset-armv7l-n900/ put it on my MMC and tried to boot it the way it's described in the wiki ( http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N900/Install/MMC ). but the N900 only shows loads of msg like forever. i can't read them bc it's too dark and nothing happens. do you have any idea what Oct 14 17:42:34 danley: you can do a trick, take out usb cable of n900 - start flasher on pc, hold down power button to the LED lights up and then plug in cable Oct 14 17:42:38 backlight should be ok then Oct 14 17:43:07 and you can tell me what error is showing up :) Oct 14 17:45:17 I tried few days ago install that 1.1.80.1 image and got a lot of "no such file" error messages. Then I installed 1.1.80.0 image and it worked Oct 14 17:46:48 danley: 1.1.80 is basically the new 1.2 development track, so at any given day it could blow up :) Oct 14 17:47:00 danley: you'll want to look for 1.0.99 if it's just for a look Oct 14 17:47:00 Stskeeps, josu: yes there are loads of "no such file [...] failed to connect to socket" messages Oct 14 17:47:04 danley: ah Oct 14 17:47:15 get 1.0.99 then, i think that image was sour Oct 14 17:48:37 so http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/1.0.99/1.0.99.1.20101012.1/handset/images/meego-handset-armv7l-n900/ that one is the one to get? Oct 14 17:48:48 right Oct 14 17:49:03 ok. thank you for now. i'll try that :) Oct 14 17:49:24 np Oct 14 17:49:25 Stskeeps: this is the one with working BME, pulse, etc?

Oct 14 17:53:20 (last question, I promise) :) Oct 14 17:53:29 i just want to see what it's like and stuff. i know it's not finished yet Oct 14 17:53:50 I'm 21 and I'm listening to BBC Radio 4, how worried should I be? Oct 14 17:54:05 CosmoHill: i think there's other things to be worried about Oct 14 17:54:18 like n900 charging? Oct 14 17:54:19 is there scandinavian keyboard support by the way? Oct 14 17:54:24 Cosmo: Is the radio translating subliminal messages?

Oct 14 18:00:35 let* Oct 14 18:00:55 DawnFoster: I suggested (and he seemed to agree) that we should just mail all who say they are going that the deadline is next Friday, or we lose our blocking and rate Oct 14 18:01:17 bah i wish there was a easy way to multi boot :( Oct 14 18:01:32 thiago_home: how's this look - http://wiki.meego.com/MeeGo_Conference_2010/Lightning_talks Oct 14 18:01:39 PhoenixBh: working on it.. Oct 14 18:01:55 yh i read pr1.3 will support it :) Oct 14 18:01:59 thiago_home: I think we're doing that - i'll check with amy Oct 14 18:02:03 hey dazo Oct 14 18:03:10 DawnFoster: page looks perfect, thanks Oct 14 18:03:33 DawnFoster: do you eat chocolate? Oct 14 18:04:04 flashed kernel Oct 14 18:04:10 and its booting Oct 14 18:04:25 * thiago_home would like to bring DawnFoster some chocolate for helping so much, but doesn't want to give a gift she won't like Oct 14 18:06:08 so will try makign nromal call Oct 14 18:06:34 does the network sign show anything BTW? or is it not implemented Oct 14 18:07:26 thiago_home: I'm picky - I don't eat dairy, but I love the really dark chocolate as long is it doesn't have any milk :) Oct 14 18:07:39 thiago_home: thanks! Oct 14 18:08:46 DawnFoster: ok, I'll try to find something without milk. Will be hard. Oct 14 18:08:54 ahah ok so it does work... execpt it wont hang up haha, are messages working? Oct 14 18:09:02 DawnFoster: the one I like the most is Melkesjokolade, which simply translates as "milk chocolate" Oct 14 18:12:11 thiago_home: can it be bought in Finland ? :) Oct 14 18:14:14 djszapi: Melkesjokolade? I don't think so Oct 14 18:14:42 the closest I find it to Finland is the duty-free shop in the Oslo airport Oct 14 18:14:59 thiago_home: There's quite a selection of dairy free chocolate in British supermarkets now. Jaffa Jr. is allergic to milk and egg, so we spot these things :) Oct 14 18:16:43 can anyone tell me when the final UI is ment to be implemented? :) Oct 14 18:17:01 most of the good dark chocolate doesn't have any milk Oct 14 18:17:37 DawnFoster: good hint Oct 14 18:21:41 thiago_home: http://www.dammenberg.fi/shop/ ;-) Oct 14 18:22:19 Myrtti: I won't be going to Finland before Portland Oct 14 18:22:28 aw. Oct 14 18:23:37 Portland ? Oct 14 18:24:01 Myrtti: haha I will get one :> Oct 14 18:25:08 djszapi: I'm coming to Portland at the end of the month Oct 14 18:25:53 k, have fun :) Oct 14 18:26:39 what is the opinion here about PackageKit on Meego ? Oct 14 18:28:41 djszapi: what about packagekit? Oct 14 18:29:38 what is the feedback, negative, positive ? Oct 14 18:51:45 hello, I've dded the latest MeeGo image for the n900 and I'm trying to boot using flasher. While MeeGo is booting, it shows many, many of "Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket". It then gives me a blank screen forever with ocassional speaker bursts (?) Oct 14 18:51:56 1.1.80? Oct 14 18:52:00 yeah Oct 14 18:52:12 known bug, please use 1.0.99 and skip the release you're trying :) Oct 14 18:52:30 1.1.80 is the 1.2 release track and it was hit by a nasty bg Oct 14 18:52:33 bug Oct 14 18:52:58 and skip = or skip (and wait for next) Oct 14 18:53:11 heh thanks. But does 1.0.99 have the UX ? Oct 14 19:16:27 I need some help Oct 14 19:16:42 I downloaded http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/1.1.80/1.1.80.1.20101012.1/handset/images/meego-handset-armv7l-n900/meego-handset-armv7l-n900-1.1.80.1.20101012.1-mmcblk0p.raw.bz2 for my n900 Oct 14 19:17:06 1.1.80 is the 1.2 release track and it was hit by a nasty bg Oct 14 19:17:17 Then I fallowed steps for windows on these page: http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N900/Install/MMC Oct 14 19:17:42 known bug, please use 1.0.99 and skip the release you're trying :) Oct 14 19:17:45 now what ? Oct 14 19:17:51 oh ok Oct 14 19:18:10 so when i hit "write" on disk imager and it's done.... what then? Oct 14 19:20:27 pfft, who cares about connman? Oct 14 19:24:35 Stskeeps: whats the boot issue with n900 in trunk? Oct 14 19:24:50 felipec: ??? Oct 14 19:25:06 auke: I'm reading the trademark thread Oct 14 20:55:49 morning can meego be used on an iphone? Oct 14 20:56:35 no Oct 14 20:56:45 ok Oct 14 20:57:19 why not? Oct 14 20:57:28 iPhone is a closed platform Oct 14 20:57:50 even if it is jail broken? Oct 14 20:57:56 correct Oct 14 20:57:57 you can run linux on iphon Oct 14 20:57:59 you can run linux on iphone Oct 14 20:58:04 ok Oct 14 20:58:21 can you run windows on iphone? Oct 14 20:58:27 yes Oct 14 20:58:47 you can run it in a virtual machine in linux cant you? so sure you should be able to. Oct 14 20:58:49 I can run on an iphone Oct 14 20:59:02 why would you want to though/ Oct 14 20:59:04 it's slippery though :) Oct 14 20:59:30 lol Oct 14 20:59:32 iPhones make lousy hockey pucks, not round enough Oct 14 20:59:42 why not? Oct 14 20:59:48 bah i had one..... Oct 14 21:00:06 hit it with a hammer once i got the n900 Oct 14 21:00:08 :) Oct 14 21:00:17 that felt good :) Oct 14 21:00:19 DOES meego work on amd? Oct 14 21:00:31 no, not currently Oct 14 21:00:34 ok Oct 14 21:00:46 thanks! Oct 14 21:00:47 chao! Oct 14 21:00:51 cyas Oct 14 21:00:56 Since this was brought up, is there a particular place I can look for the status of ports? I have an android phone and would love to see it on it Oct 14 21:01:04 it being meego Oct 14 21:01:14 Xavierdarkness: here would be best Oct 14 21:01:18 or #meego-arm Oct 14 21:01:55 K cool Oct 14 21:09:49 so I got qemu-gl running but trying to add emulator device configuration in qt creator complains about device not having Qt 4.6.2+ installed when I try "test" Oct 14 21:11:08 do I need find newer image than handset one from july? Oct 14 21:22:46 jarkkom: july seems very old, I would suggest getting a newer image, yes Oct 14 21:22:52 * CosmoHill reads the guardian Oct 14 21:48:36 auke or anybody: can you recommend a nice netbook fully compatible with MeeGo that I could find easily in BestBuy or similar? I need to buy one asap (today) Oct 14 21:53:09 qgil: actually a touch choice atm Oct 14 21:53:41 qgil: toshiba has working wireless, but seems to have an irq issue, display backlight isn't changeable, bluetooth nonfunctional Oct 14 21:53:57 qgil: lenovo s10 works, except wireless (sigh), really well Oct 14 21:54:16 hp has the wireless issue too Oct 14 21:54:44 what about asus? Oct 14 21:54:50 I haven't tried any of the newer asus models Oct 14 21:55:30 the 1005HA is on the list of supported models, best buy sells a 1005HAB Oct 14 21:56:56 seems to work fine according to the forums http://forum.meego.com/showpost.php?p=6018&postcount=16 Oct 14 21:58:45 http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Asus_Eee_PC_1005HA#lspci Oct 14 21:59:00 10005HA indeed seems to have a supported wireless chipset afaics Oct 14 21:59:10 qgil: so, asus seems to be the safest choice Oct 14 22:00:00 qgil: didn't you buy one a few months back? Oct 14 22:00:21 I see reports that the 1015 has broadcom Oct 14 22:00:31 so definately don't get that if wifi needs to work Oct 14 22:01:43 felipec: good that you put the "Brand dilution" wikipedia link at the end of your post because otherwise I would have sent it to you :) Oct 14 22:02:01 felipec: other than that I have said everything I wanted to say about the trademark stuff Oct 14 22:02:02 qgil: trademark != brand Oct 14 22:02:23 felipec: yes, you are right - whatever :) Oct 14 22:02:31 this is irc and I'm not the LF lawyer Oct 14 22:03:11 auke thanks, I'll have a look to Asus Oct 14 22:03:32 qgil: bring a meego image on a USB stick to the store Oct 14 22:03:38 qgil: ask if you can try it Oct 14 22:03:41 netbook image Oct 14 22:03:53 :) Oct 14 22:03:58 w00t_: yeah, I bought the HP Mini 5102 and ha been a big pain to get MeeGo in there - even if 5101 and others are fine - boring BIOS bug story Oct 14 22:04:32 auke: good point, this is for a partner that wants to develop MeeGo apps in MeeGo :) Oct 14 22:04:48 hopefully somebody would care that community members don't feel welcome in MeeGo Oct 14 22:05:20 felipec: that is a broad statetement Oct 14 22:05:53 felipec: I would say that hopefully our trademark, brand and compliance guidelines were clear, approved and very useful Oct 14 22:07:27 qgil: well, people from Fedora and openSUSE complained about ConnMann, and the answer was: you can't use MeeGo if you remove ConnMann, and when they came with Smeegol it's: you can't use that either Oct 14 22:08:16 * CosmoHill is very confused Oct 14 22:08:36 felipec: the real problem was not to say "please don't use Smeegol" back in September - all the rest is purely collateral since Fedora and OpenSUSE are not seeking MeeGo compliance with their MeeGo related projects Oct 14 22:09:05 qgil: you might not agree that they are within the law, but you can see that people in the ml think they are, and I do as well Oct 14 22:09:46 qgil: if the "compliance guidelines" are stricter than the law, that's a recipe for disaster in something that is supposed to be community inclusive Oct 14 22:09:52 felipec: if you start looking at the law then you have lost something already Oct 14 22:11:01 felipec: if you would have 1M netbooks out there with "Smeegol" the situation would be also different - the discussion is not about the name itself but something else Oct 14 22:11:03 qgil: exactly, if the ConnMann issue was taken out of the table: NetworkManager was seriously discussed, people might not have felt compelled to spin-off Oct 14 22:11:41 felipec: three separate discussions: MeeGo architecture , MeeGo compliance and Smeegol diluting MeeGo or not Oct 14 22:12:06 felipec: the problem is when you are unhappy about ConnMan and you end up discussing about Smeegol Oct 14 22:12:22 the typical case of directing to football political problems or viceversa :9 Oct 14 22:12:48 qgil: had the MeeGo architecture been sane, the rest of the discussion would not have come from Fedora or OpenSUSE Oct 14 22:13:19 felipec: then please discuss about architecture and then marketing dudes like me won't interfere :) Oct 14 22:14:09 qgil: doesn't marketing include Product? (part of the 4 P's) Oct 14 22:15:01 felipec: maybe everybody feel it has an opinion about brands, but I definitely don't pretend to have an opinion about connectivity components Oct 14 22:15:45 qgil: the issue is not connectivity components, it's about part of the system that third parties feel doesn't make sense Oct 14 22:16:51 felipec: let me be less precise then: maybe everybody feels like having an opinion about brands, but I definitely don't pretend to have an opinion about MeeGo Core architecture Oct 14 22:16:55 it is in the best interest of MeeGo the project, and MeeGo the brand, that third parties join in saying: yes, we like this Oct 14 22:17:36 felipec: and putting NetworkManager instead of ConnMan will make everybody saying: yes, we like this? Oct 14 22:18:50 qgil: at least Fedora and OpenSUSE, which are pretty big players in the Linux world Oct 14 22:19:09 it's very simple: they like it = good PR, they don't like it = bad PR Oct 14 22:20:27 that doesn't mean MeeGo should just do whatever Fedora and OpenSUSE want, but just having the discussion so they feel it's actually possible to influence MeeGo to their interest would help Oct 14 22:21:27 felipec: has there been a technical discussion comparing directly ConnMan and NetworkManager, by the people actually developing and maintaining these components? Oct 14 22:21:34 I thought TSG meant technical steering group, and it's purpose was precisely to sort this kind of issues Oct 14 22:22:11 felipec: there is an architecture team, and there is where architecture discussions need to happen first - escalating to TSG only if needed Oct 14 22:23:06 felipec: but in this cases the MeeGo architects, Core maintainers and connectivity maintainers seem to agree on ConnMan, and they are the ones doing currently the work in meeGo Oct 14 22:23:54 It's like the Qt discussion, the RPM discussion and many other discussions - at the end you have the maintainers that will do the work and they are the ones that must make a choice Oct 14 22:23:57 qgil: I think when something has PR implications, and already hit the news it means it already went beyond TSG Oct 14 22:24:07 ??? Oct 14 22:24:37 Hit the news = Engadget or WSJ saying that MeeGo is using ConnMan when everybody knows thet NM is better? Oct 14 22:25:49 qgil: no, Smeegol... just by the name existing people are going to wonder, why is it not called MeeGo something? Oct 14 22:26:08 cool name btw :) Oct 14 22:26:26 qgil: just like LibreOffice Oct 14 22:26:40 felipec: when I talk about Smeegol you mentuion ConnMan, now that I talk about ConnMan you are actually talking about Smeegol... this is precisely the pointless situation I don't want to be part of :) Oct 14 22:28:14 qgil: cause and effect, cause = bad architecture decision, effect = Smeegol is born Oct 14 22:28:53 you don't like Smeegol? me neither, thus the bad architecture decision needs to be analyzed Oct 14 22:29:27 felipec: you can either follow the architecture and call it MeeGo, or not follow the architecture and call it something completely different. It's easy. Oct 14 22:29:31 by whom? the TSG, who should have in scope both the architecture and the marketing Oct 14 22:30:17 we can have a TSG meeting where TSG members say they don't like Smeegol - what have we gained? Oct 14 22:30:17 the TSG would then tell the MeeGo architects, we trust your decision, but let's have a public discussion with Smeego guys and other parties to evaluate the pros and cons Oct 14 22:30:46 without this discussion, you are pretty much fueling Smeegol and similar projects Oct 14 22:31:07 felipec: again mixing Smeegol name (what bothers LF and TSG) with ConnMan/NM (which is no discussion for TSG, even less for LF) Oct 14 22:32:25 felipec: even spin-offs are not bad - they never were for Debian, Ubuntu or Linux in general - some survive and make sense, some don't Oct 14 22:33:14 qgil: well, if you are not willing to see the big picture it's pretty obvious why Smeegol had to be born, and it's pretty obvious why it will stay Oct 14 22:33:44 or just die, why would people care about MeeGo if MeeGo doesn't care about them? Oct 14 22:34:38 qgil: Ubuntu _is_ bad Oct 14 22:34:56 spin-offs are not necessarily bad, but it's better if they can be avoided Oct 14 22:35:01 Stskeeps: I've been thinking of making a FAQ for the n900 Oct 14 22:35:13 if Fedora and openSUSE contributed _directly_ to MeeGo, that would be superb Oct 14 22:35:36 Stskeeps: last I checked there wasn't one, it might reduce some of the questions we get in here Oct 14 22:36:29 felipec you think I'm not seeing the big picture, I think you are not seeing the big picture... :) And still we will get along for another round of discussion next time ;) Oct 14 22:36:42 now back to work Oct 14 22:36:56 in fact, at the end of the day openSUSE probably did most of what MeeGo is today Oct 14 22:39:45 oh I found on Oct 14 22:40:00 so they probably can detach them from MeeGo and continue doing spin-offs for the different form factors that MeeGo was supposed to help with Oct 14 22:40:07 it's MeeGo's loss Oct 14 22:47:10 Smeegol is not "we would distribute MeeGo if it wasn't for ConnMan" - it is "we want the MeeGo UI on top of SUSE distro" Oct 14 22:51:44 i agree about last one :) Oct 14 22:54:22 csdb: did you even read what Greg KH said? they are not changing a single thing, except ConnMan Oct 14 23:02:01 felipec: If they'd called it YouStay instead of Smeegol would you feel any happier? Anyone can take MeeGo, swap bits out and release it as something else - just don't call it MeeGo. Oct 14 23:03:30 Milhouse: no, I actually prefer Smegol than YouStay Oct 14 23:03:59 Milhouse: sure, anyone can do that, but it's better if they could take MeeGo and add on top Oct 14 23:10:16 felipec: yes, I did. You might want to re-read it, starting with the 1st email in that thread Oct 14 23:10:40 which states:"I have been spending my time trying to get the MeeGo UX into reasonable Oct 14 23:10:40 shape on my preferred distro of choice - openSUSE" Oct 14 23:11:46 the funny thing is that openSUSE trademark rules prohibit you from doing this kind of thing with their trademark Oct 14 23:11:51 csdb: that wasn't Greg Oct 14 23:11:55 same goes for Fedora Oct 14 23:12:14 felipec: so what? That's from the person that wrote the stuff Oct 14 23:12:44 did you read the thread? Oct 14 23:15:19 csdb: yes: Smeegol = (MeeGo - ConnMan) + rest of OpenSUSE Oct 14 23:17:01 felipec: really? Its using glibc from Meego? kernel? Every package from MeeGo except for ConnMan ? Oct 14 23:17:54 it's more like (MeeGo - kernel - libs - util - anything-that-isn't-a-part-of-the-ux-that-we-want) + openSUSE Oct 14 23:18:02 cyas Oct 14 23:23:31 csdb: If I look into the OBS project for smeegol, I think you are right Oct 14 23:23:51 csdb: actually after re-reading it seems it's Novell the one doing that Oct 14 23:24:15 then yeah, Smeegol is fine Oct 14 23:27:50 ScriptRipper: yeah - poor ConnMan was brought kicking and screaming into the center of this discussion when its not the center Oct 14 23:28:10 felipec: what do you mean by Smeegol is fine? Oct 14 23:29:53 csdb: it's not possible for the project to be called "MeeGo something", so a distinct name like Smeegol is fine Oct 14 23:31:19 how distinct Smeegol really is is topic for another discussion... It was clearly picked due to the similarity with MeeGo Oct 14 23:31:56 IANAL but if I wanted to avoid confusion with a trademark I'm not allowed to use that would probably be the last name in the world I'd use... Oct 14 23:33:11 that's like creating a openSUSE respin and calling is SUcSEed to avoid trademark issues :-) Oct 14 23:34:19 csdb: well, on one hand you want to be legally abiding, but on the other hand you want to say this is related to MeeGo Oct 14 23:34:53 csdb: I'm also not a lawyer, but from what I know the protection is for consumers Oct 14 23:35:39 so that they don't buy Nikee shows thinking they are Nike Oct 14 23:35:43 shoes Oct 14 23:36:35 clearly if you want to say its related then you're trying to get people interested based on this relation. MeeGo TM holders have stated that they don't want this kind of use making claims of relation to them Oct 14 23:37:15 and calling it Smeegol does just that. Oct 14 23:37:32 csdb: well, MeeGo TM holders can state that they don't want names to share a single character, but it's not up to them to decide what is lawful Oct 14 23:38:16 felipec: agreed - but its a matter of whether you want to push the boundaries and potentially make the lawyers happy :-) Oct 14 23:39:18 I love this clause of the openSUSE trademark rules:"We acknowledge and support your right to make "fair use" of the openSUSE Marks, and do not mean to suggest with these Guidelines that our permission is required in such cases. We cannot, however, tell you categorically what will and will not qualify as a "fair use." " Oct 14 23:39:43 in other words - our lawyers will tell you if you went too far :-) Oct 14 23:40:15 csdb: not necessarily, you can start with a friendly e-mail Oct 14 23:45:48 yeah - but if you re-read that thread you'll see that right from the get-go the tone was not friendly at all. Oct 15 00:00:35 email is never read with the same friendly tone as it was originally written :) Oct 15 00:03:45 csdb: I'm not talking about that thread Oct 15 00:04:02 auke, email to voice is an obvious missing feature. mode: dramatic reading. Oct 15 00:04:19 * csdb has "why can't we be friends" song stuck in his mind now Oct 15 00:04:45 csdb: see, openSUSE allows you to use the trademark in "fair use", and if you are not, they can send a friendly e-mail (not a cease-or-desist) Oct 15 00:05:05 csdb: but if you are not using the trademark, their rules don't matter Oct 15 00:05:48 csdb: in the case of Smeegol, they don't think they are using the trademark, so the rules don't matter either Oct 15 00:06:53 if that's the case, any mail, friendly or not, is unwarranted Oct 15 00:11:23 felipec: I don't think it was the LF people that kept bringing lawyers into the thread (along with "sue me" and "send me a cease-and-desist if you want to discuss this further") Oct 15 00:12:00 Even by Greg's admission the correct spelling of Smeagol was changed to Smeegol. Oct 15 00:15:54 csdb: well, that's why laws exist Oct 15 00:16:04 So this is clearly the "neutral zone" in Star Trek terms... What happens there is always anyone's guess... Oct 15 00:18:52 felipec, yes, and judges have the final say on what the law means, not you or I or anyone else on the thread. Oct 15 00:19:26 but 'nuff about this - I've hit my legal-mumbling quota for the month already and its not even the 15th :-) Oct 15 00:30:42 who owns the MeeGo trademark anyway? Oct 15 00:32:37 ah, LF, which is supposed to help open communities against corporate bullies, not sue them Oct 15 00:34:32 anyway, time to sleep Oct 15 01:30:45 heyo, when is meego going to be ready for daily use on a phone? Oct 15 01:36:00 how far away is that? Oct 15 01:36:26 rough estimates appreciated, or even 'go fsck yourself', something would be nice :) Oct 15 01:40:42 heh Oct 15 01:41:08 at best it'll be the 1.2 release, which I -think- is slated for April Oct 15 01:42:05 ybit: my guess is still several months out. 1.1. is due out soon but I don't know that it has all the pieces to be a full smartphone yet (which is what I assume you're asking). Oct 15 01:51:12 csdb: your guess is correct Oct 15 01:51:24 wmarone: that was helpful as well Oct 15 01:52:13 so i should probably just get an e7 or crack an jailbreak an iphone in the meantime. I was thinking you could probably help with development of the meeg on the e7 Oct 15 01:52:22 -"crack an" Oct 15 01:57:21 probably Oct 15 01:57:32 as for the E7, that's probably an uphill battle Oct 15 01:57:32 ybit: don't know - I've only heard people talking about n900 for meego development so far Oct 15 02:00:42 wmarone: why is this an uphill battle, because we don't know when the release date is? Oct 15 02:01:26 i can wait about, hmmm, a month, for the phone to be released, no longer though. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Oct 15 02:59:57 2010
