00:03.01blackthornemeego isn't dead?
00:03.20blackthornei've heard that partnership with Microsoft for the high range smart phones
00:07.07DocScrutinizermeego is a pile of sourcecode, it can't die. The question is who's keeping up the support and development for it, for which platform, on which level
00:07.17Sc0rpiusand who will care
00:07.28DocScrutinizerIntel will, of course
00:07.31Sc0rpiusif there are no devices for it, nobody will care.
00:07.36DocScrutinizernot for handset UX though
00:07.42Sc0rpiusthen for netbooks?
00:08.58DocScrutinizerthere's no such thing like a device for an OS. There's OS support for devices, and that's the question, as mentioned above
00:10.48Sc0rpiuswe'll see
00:10.48Sc0rpiusto me it's dead right now.
00:10.49Sc0rpiuswho will develop applications to an OS that is not sold in any device?
00:10.49Sc0rpiusnobody will.
00:10.49DocScrutinizerthat's a much better way to put it
00:10.49DocScrutinizerand yes, I agree on that
00:12.57Ken-YoungIf there's a decent meego phone released, I'll at least port some code for it.
00:13.58blackthorneDocScrutinizer: even though, I think Sc0rpius was trying to figure out for what devices does MeeGo will offer support for, putting the things the way you want it
00:14.32blackthornenetbooks? tablets?
00:14.43DocScrutinizerobviously not for handset UX
00:15.46DocScrutinizerIntel is in tablet business aiui, then I heard some car manufacturer is planning to use meego for entertainment (dummy up the childs on backseat)
00:16.00blackthornethe stock owners, mostly non technical guys seem to be right this time when punishing Nokia for lack of focus
00:16.04Ken-YoungDoes the fact that Microsoft is not pushing WP7 for tablets, combined with the mothballing of meego, mean that Nokia has no tablet ambitions at all anymore?
00:16.21blackthorneKen-Young: Microsoft has software for tables
00:16.23blackthornetablets
00:16.40Ken-Youngblackthorne, But not WP7-based, as I understand it.
00:16.49blackthorneactually they started long time ago, before Apple
00:17.01blackthorneKen-Young: it's enough to take out room for Nokia
00:17.08DocScrutinizerElop said they'll ship a meego *device* in 2011. I suspect that'll be a tablet
00:17.17Ken-Youngblackthorne, Aren't they pushing a derivative of regular Windoze for their tablets, though?
00:17.42blackthorneKen-Young: yes, that's why I don't see nothing good out of it for Nokia
00:18.02blackthorneNokia bet a lot with Qt, what are they going to do with it?
00:18.09Pavlov_i doubt they do anything with Qt
00:18.14*** join/#maemo GeneralAntilles (~ryan@Maemo/community/council/GeneralAntilles)
00:18.15Ken-YoungDocScrutinizer, That would make sense, but since it just an experimental device for them, it still would mean Nokia has not real tablet ambitions.
00:18.37*** join/#maemo timeless (58730824@firefox/developer/timeless)
00:18.45timelessanyone here familiar w/ facebrick
00:18.55blackthornetoo much for experimental stuff... first it was Maemo, now MeeGo is just an experiment too?
00:18.59ieatlintthere's a decent possibility that qt will be released under a bsd licence
00:19.20blackthorneieatlint: currently it's LGPL, right?
00:19.43*** join/#maemo vblazquez (~vic@32.154.221.87.dynamic.jazztel.es)
00:19.43Ken-Youngblackthorne, Beware of manufactures that release "developers' sneak peak" devices.
00:20.02ieatlinti don't have the details of the actual sale of qt to nokia, but http://www.kde.org/community/whatiskde/kdefreeqt_announcement.php implies that they left an option for the kde foundation to release qt under a bsd licence
00:20.18alteregoblackthorne: it's not an experiment. It is a real project, a project now that Nokia will only be using for innovations and r&d.
00:20.20ieatlintblackthorne: yes, it's LGPL and GPL for free i think
00:20.42blackthorneieatlint: but that was Trolltech property. KDE had anything to say about it?
00:20.51alteregoblackthorne: the platform is still under development and still has a good chance to be the future.
00:20.52ieatlintalterego: you're kidding yourself... nokia is sidelining meego and cutting its budget massively
00:21.07*** join/#maemo sneakret (~sneakret@mithril.fjarlq.com)
00:21.09ieatlintblackthorne: dunno, that kde page certainly implies they do
00:21.14alteregoieatlint: so? The project isn't run by Nokia ffs.

00:21.45ieatlintuh, let me get the slide
00:21.46blackthorneI've read that Symbian is still going to be used! So it's WM7, Symbian, MeeGo for Nokia? 2 of them have to go
00:22.09ieatlintand when one of the two major partners of meego drops out, it takes a platform that would struggle for acceptance and subjigates it even more
00:22.14_trinewhat I want to know is,, is the channel name going to change to microgo
00:22.20timelessblackthorne: you missed s40
00:22.24alteregoieatlint: hasn't happened yet, and people have been saying that will happen after the first meego device is released.
00:22.27SpeedEvilMeego is producing one more device withnokia.
00:22.29blackthornetalking about the smart phones
00:22.37SpeedEvilThey've committed to.
00:22.42timelessSpeedEvil: no, we're producing *one* device
00:22.47ieatlintSpeedEvil: they committed to meego as their major platform too
00:22.55timelesswe (MeeGo) have produced *zero* devices to date
00:23.04SpeedEviltimeless: Err - yes
00:23.08timelessour previous incarnation (Maemo) produced one phone :)
00:23.13ieatlintthe n9 is cancelled, nokia has decided meego will not be a major platform for them... they did say they would produce a device, but i wouldn't count on it
00:23.25SpeedEvilThey also said it'd be a phone.
00:23.33SpeedEvilThat may have been a mis-statement in passing though.
00:23.34pupnikcan companies sell phone kits without fcc/ce certification?
00:23.40Ken-YoungSpeedEvil, Is that official?
00:23.50timelesspupnik: in India or China perhaps?
00:23.58SpeedEvilKen-Young: It was announced at ~12:31 on the stream from nokia.com/news/
00:24.10ShadowJKCE is self-certified ;p
00:24.12SpeedEvilKen-Young: I wasn't however recording it.
00:24.22SpeedEvilCE can be self-certified - if you're sure of yourself.
00:24.32Ken-YoungSpeedEvil,  Well, that's a bit of good news, at least.
00:24.34ieatlintSpeedEvil: the statements i saw just said a 'meego device'
00:24.44MohammadAGalbum view working in open source media player
00:24.53SpeedEvilieatlint: It wasn't in any of the statements I saw - it was during the QA
00:24.54timelesshttp://www.nokia.com/press/press-releases/showpressrelease?newsid=1488004
00:24.55ShadowJKwhen they said meego device I assumed slapping Nokia sticker on Lenovo Ideapad and doubling the price ;p

00:25.08timeless> Nokia still plans to ship a MeeGo-related product later this year.
00:25.09ieatlintyeah, what i read said just 'device'
00:25.21pupniki don't see the use for netbook Os's
00:25.21timeless'MeeGo-related product'
00:25.32Pavlov_meego stickers
00:25.35timelessall of those words are key
00:25.50SpeedEvilIt's a source CD.
00:25.58Pavlov_maybe they will produce stuffed meego animals
00:26.02alteregoMeh, anything Elop says is balls ..
00:26.10timelesspavlov: with a usb port? :)
00:26.17Pavlov_nah
00:26.21Pavlov_meego branded boots?
00:26.28timelesstyres!
00:26.38SpeedEvilrealises!
00:26.42Ken-YoungMeego branded pink slips, for their programmers.
00:26.43alteregoI just want a freakin' t-shirt!
00:26.58timelessi'm pretty sure i have a meego tshirt
00:26.59SpeedEvilThey've said they have the freedom to brand windows phone 7 as they like.
00:27.00timelessi have no idea where it is
00:27.10rm_youwaves at timeless
00:27.14timelesshi
00:27.15SpeedEvilThis means that the meego device will actually be a theme for windows phone.
00:27.15rm_youcrazy times, eh :P
00:27.20timelessso, i tried Facebrick
00:27.24timelessit doesn't work
00:27.28rm_youlol
00:27.31ieatlintanyway, no one should count on a nokia meego device ever hitting a retail store... it may happen, they've said it'll happen, but based on their statements, it wouldn't make financial sense to do so
00:27.40timelessand i can't get the native facebook client to work either
00:28.08timelessieatlint: the 770..n810 didn't make financial sense
00:28.13timelessthat didn't stop us from shipping them
00:28.13rm_youi had some issues once with a weird version of the account integration library, had to apt-get upgrade manually to get it fixed
00:28.23timelessthe n810 wimax edition didn't either
00:28.28ieatlinttimeless: yeah, and they hired a new ceo to turn around their falling profits and eliminate things that didn't make sense
00:28.30Ken-YoungI'm surprised facebrick became abandonware.   THe developer seemed so enthusiastic, initially.
00:28.32timelesswe even shipped that
00:28.35_trineThis could be more than the end of meego it could be the beginning of the end of Nokia
00:28.36ieatlintlooks like he's doing just that
00:28.42alteregoI dunno, this community has a lot of talent. They'd be very stupid to miss the opportunity.

00:28.55timelessinternetishard: please don't irc as root@
00:28.59internetishardwhat can I do ahead of time to this android app I'm building to hasten portability to the nokia?
00:29.01dotblankSpeedEvil, what?
00:29.09internetishardtimeless, I will if I want, sorry it bothers you.
00:29.15Pavlov_build it on the web
00:29.26dotblankSpeedEvil, so pretend the wp7 isn't actually wp7 but instead meego
00:29.37MohammadAG<timeless> so, i tried Facebrick
00:29.45timelessMohammadAG: yeah...
00:29.47MohammadAG<timeless> it doesn't work
00:29.51timelessMohammadAG: yeah...
00:29.51MohammadAGfacebook fucked up their API, libqfacebook was broken
00:30.02MohammadAGand it was broken more than once, so I guess the dev got fed up
00:30.16timelessMohammadAG: does that explain why the native client doesn't work?
00:30.20timelessfacebrick gives an error parsing a feed
00:30.29MohammadAGwhat native client?
00:30.42timelessi have a VoIP account option for Facebook
00:30.58MohammadAGyou mean Chat?
00:30.58timelessis that not native?
00:31.37timelessi guess?
00:31.38MohammadAGif you're talking about chat, I just signed in
00:31.48MohammadAGseems to be working fine
00:31.50rm_youyes, there is a base facebook client that shipped with the device
00:31.56rm_youi havent tried it in a while
00:31.57rm_youlet me check
00:32.12MohammadAGthat's just jabber with an icon on top
00:32.22ieatlintalterego: bleh, finally found it.. http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/11/rip-symbian/
00:32.27MohammadAGit was added when facebook exported their chat servers via jabber
00:32.37ieatlintthat page has a slide that visualises their future meego r&d spending
00:32.42rm_youno, there's another one, that has a home widget
00:32.53ieatlintit's not numbers, but it's a very obvious clue as to what their plans are
00:32.57DocScrutinizertimeless: wait wait
00:32.58MohammadAGthat works too rm_you
00:33.25DocScrutinizertimeless: you're saying meego devision of Nokia is planning to build a device with Nokia, right?
00:33.28ieatlintand you can see the green "meego" block turn into a green too-small-for-text sliver
00:33.51timelessDocScrutinizer: 'with nokia'?
00:34.08DocScrutinizerwell, meego has no reflow street
00:34.47DocScrutinizerso I guess it's like with OM and FIC, one subdivision is ordering hw from another subdivision
00:36.00timelessom? fic?
00:36.00DocScrutinizeranyway, key point of my question has been "YOU (meego division of Nokia) are building a device"?
00:36.08DocScrutinizernevermind that
00:36.16ieatlinthttp://eu.techcrunch.com/2011/02/12/intel-kept-in-the-dark-over-nokia%E2%80%99s-meego-plans-operators-reject-first-device/ also suggests that a meego phone by nokia could be announced at MWC just the same, and has a couple rumours about it
00:36.17timelesswell, that's what the press release said
00:36.22timelessi have to trust it
00:36.53DocScrutinizeryeah, but press release didn't mention WHO is building the meego-related product
00:36.53ieatlintintel made that same mistake ;p
00:37.00internetishardwhat can I do ahead of time to this android app I'm building to hasten portability to the nokia?
00:37.07timelesshrm, it didn't...
00:37.25timelesslooks for evidence that MeeGo computers will build the meego-related product
00:37.30DocScrutinizerwho inside the many subdivisions of Nokia...
00:38.15timelesshttp://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:TseMbC8cpasJ:www.nokia.com/NOKIA_COM_1/Technology/pdf/Nokia_software_strategy_white_paper.pdf+site:www.nokia.com+meego+device&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&client=firefox-a&source=www.google.com is amusing
00:38.29DocScrutinizertimeless: that'S what I'm asking. If it were meego branded rubber boots, then probably it weren't meego *computers* division to build it
00:38.47timelessfair enough

01:17.14DrGrovtimeless: Not so much into the geeky stuff, surely I want geeky stuff but it is not the most important.
01:17.22jonwilwhat I need to figure out (by dumping the low level packets e.g.) is whether the issues with decoding them come from my test code
01:17.32jonwilor from the lower level code in libsms and libcsd-sms
01:17.32timelessDrGrov: i presume you don't want/need a hardware keyboard
01:17.54timelessyou don't require hackable since you got the n8
01:18.00timelesswould just get an iphone4
01:18.20DrGrovtimeless: A hardware keyboard, physical keyboard. That makes things a whole lot easier though.
01:18.42DrGrovtimeless: Nah, not an iPhone. Do not want to become such a user.
01:19.12DrGrovtimeless: Other suggestions?
01:19.32jonwilIf I wasnt a N900 user (and didnt care about hackable) I would choose the HTC Desire Z or Motorola Milestone

01:25.07nox-pupnik, wtf really?
01:25.16jonwilWhat was wrong with your N900?
01:25.30EdLinDrGrov: I'd suggest an HTC HD2 if you want hackable non-n900 phone, it runs Android very well, and can also run Meego and WM6.5, WP7, and Ubuntu, among other things in emulation.
01:25.37mikki-kuni have seen quite a few devices so far and the G2 and Nexus 1 look nice, as does Moto Defy (is a bit sturdy, at least from the looks)
01:25.42mavhcthe point is you don't have to close apps

01:26.20pupniknox-: well yes
01:26.21jonwilyeah the HTC HD2 seems to be the "little phone that could"
01:26.32pupnikbut you shouldn't need to do that
01:26.37EdLinDrGrov: free on contract refurbished, t-mobile is retiring it.
01:26.42budfiveanybody played with the webos devices? pre looked pretty interesting a while back
01:26.59mikki-kunjonwil: well, i wish you the best of luck with hacking and have fun while doing so. i hope and am pretty sure you will be successful... maybe try it once while on a booze ^^
01:27.00DrGrovEdLin: Is it SIM unlocked?
01:27.01nox-pupnik, and that when most)?) apps are java too?  how much ram do androids usually have? :)
01:27.04EdLinDrGrov: if you want it without a contract, you can get it for a little over $200 on ebay.
01:27.13mavhcmoving from maemo to webos would just be being awkward
01:27.14jonwilI dont drink alcohol :)

01:27.36DrGrovWhat is the easiest way to get music on the Galaxy 3? Via memory card perhaps?

01:27.38pupnikwebos devices don't have landscape keyboard

01:38.26DrGrovDocScrutinizer: The other battery is for my Samsung S5600
01:38.30EdLinDocScrutinizer: there's more to tmobile US's AWS scheme than the bands, by the way, they use the bands differently than in the EU.

04:12.36Ken-Youngzerojay, Compared the this week, the maemo abandonment was nothing, I think.
04:13.04zerojayKen-Young: When that happened, I knew THIS would happen, it was just a matter of time.
04:13.09GeneralAntillesAt least there were positive possibilities with MeeGo.
04:13.21Ken-Youngzerojay, I was more gullible, I guess.
04:13.28GeneralAntillesI can't believe I didn't see it coming.
04:13.34GeneralAntillesSelf delusion, I guess.
04:13.48Ken-YoungRight up until Friday morning I was a believer.
04:13.51zerojayLet's see... having the basic message be "we don't want community" from the start was great.
04:14.05zerojayIncluding hiring a community manager that did nothing but push people away. That was pretty cool.
04:14.18timelessGeneralAntilles: at least they led you guys around
04:14.33timelessone of the things noted by he new ceo is an absolute lack of leadership
04:14.58GeneralAntillestimeless: I'm feeling particularly bad about those people whose livelihoods are going to be screwed with by this.
04:15.07timelessGeneralAntilles: i don't
04:15.08Ken-YoungThere's leadership - leadership from Redmond.
04:15.09zerojayHonestly, it's not like Nokia had a whole ton of choice here if they wanted to even come close to being in the race, but that doesn't mean that I have to like it.
04:15.12timelessfinland gets what it deserves
04:15.20timelessstick all your eggs in one basket
04:15.24GeneralAntillestimeless: hehe, well, they're not all Finns.
04:15.28timelessand some day you're get a mess
04:15.45timelesss/re/ll/
04:15.50GeneralAntilleszerojay: well, I think they had an opportunity to make something happen with MeeGo last year.
04:15.57GeneralAntillesBut I don't know why they squandered that away.
04:16.12timelessGeneralAntilles: management insisted on changing directions a number of times
04:16.23timelessand generally there was no punishment for doing this
04:16.29timelessjust 6month setbacks
04:16.35zerojayThe only way I felt that there was going to be any sort of chance of anything really happening was if they stayed on Maemo and continued on with it.
04:16.42zerojayInstead, they threw it all out and started over.
04:16.53pupniki felt that way too zerojay
04:16.57timelesszerojay: power struggles work that way
04:17.00timelesswe lost ours
04:17.06timelessmy team lost more than most
04:17.18GeneralAntilleszerojay: Maemo had not long term viability.
04:17.24zerojayThen they didn't have anything on the high-end phones.. so they pushed Maemo/MeeGo out into the limelight WAY before it was ready.
04:17.34GeneralAntillestimeless: hopefully the dinosaurs will die off sooner rather than later.
04:17.46timelessGeneralAntilles: i was initially worried
04:17.50GeneralAntillesA multi-vendor platform is the only answer to Android.
04:17.56zerojayBut I always felt that MeeGo being #1 for them was always a stop-gap measure to keep people happy until they had something else.
04:18.05timelessthe announcement only showed a couple of casualties
04:18.08Ken-Youngzerojay, Well, if they hadn't have pushed it out then, we'd probably have no maemo devices at all.
04:18.13zerojayI just never guessed it would have been "use another company's OS", honestly.
04:18.13timelessbut i've heard of a couple since the announcement
04:18.26zerojayKen-Young: We already had a Maemo device.
04:18.32timelesszerojay: the os isn't so important
04:18.38timelessit's the ecosystem, which includes a store and apps
04:18.41pupnikyou guys are the best community though ... <sniff>
04:18.45timelessremember nokia's store was....Ovi
04:18.45Ken-Youngzerojay, But that one wasn't really ready either.
04:19.04zerojayThey weren't pushing it as the company savior at the time. :)
04:19.18timelessMS's marketplace solves the 'ovi' problem
04:19.36pupniki thought apt-get solved the 'ovi problem'
04:19.44timelessas for apps, i don't think Ovi managed to attract many apps

04:20.03Ken-YoungSo who's most screwed within Nokia - the Symbian guys, the Qt guys, or the Meego guys?
04:20.14timelessKen-Young: the symbian guys have been dead for years
04:20.18GeneralAntillesProbably Symbian most immediately.
04:20.21timelessand if they didn't know that, they deserve what they got
04:20.23pupnikfor crapps we could get android ones
04:20.23GeneralAntillesBut, yeah, zombies can only be so screwed.
04:20.27rm_youSYmbian developers are dead on the inside? :P
04:20.41zerojayThe Symbian guys couldn't possibly be screwed. They knew it was dead long ago. How they still had 1500 people on it is... just... I can't even think of how that happened.
04:20.46rm_younow pictures a room of zombies drooling on keyboards in front of monitors with the symbian logo
04:20.59timelessThe Qt v. MeeGo question is interesting
04:22.14GeneralAntillesQt seems like it has plenty of opportunities outside Nokia.
04:22.26GeneralAntillesI really wonder what's going to happen to that division, though.
04:22.34GeneralAntillesGiven it's no longer prominent in Nokia's future strategy.

04:34.34zerojaySame thing with the apps. "Oh, this is what it's like to actually get support from companies, not just Nokia begging them to make something for us."

04:36.51zerojayWhen you compile from stage 1, yes, you sure do.
04:38.08Ken-YoungI wonder if Nokia would consider simply providing the binary blobs needed to allow a community port of meego to whatever there highest end WP7 phone is.   After all, they might sell a significant number (n900ish volumes) of that phone to consumers who would never consider purchasing it otherwise.
04:40.13wmaroneKen-Young: not a chance, especially not with Microsoft involved

07:43.37sgevyes IMEI
07:43.46sgevcan the IMEI be changed or something?
07:43.47RobbieThe1stIf the original sim is in it, you can probably ask for the location. Several countrys have blacklists of IMEI numbers; a blacklisted IMEI won't be allowed on the network

07:45.06sgevif they do turn it off, then?
07:45.12RobbieThe1stMind you, if someone wanted to sell a stolen phone, they'd probably sell it overseas

07:45.39sgevthe oly possible way is they turn it off or remove the SIM
07:45.43RST38hBecause it is really difficult to understand what you are asking about, but Google may figure it out, eventually
07:45.51sgevim asking if im lost my phone

07:46.28ketasyes
07:46.35ketassim can be tracked too
07:46.40RobbieThe1stYou can install custom software for tracking it
07:46.42RST38hNobody will use your SIM card, so forget about IMSI
07:46.46sgevok and nobody can actually manipulate the inner workings of a SIm to make it untraceable can they
07:47.00RST38hThrowing away the SIM card is the first thing a thief would do
07:47.14ketaswell sim is supposed to be subscriber identifying module

10:12.42chxhonestly, the most exciting and most disappointing gps are the new garmins
10:13.09korhojoahow so?

14:18.48Jaffakerio: Perhaps you could clarify your rants...
14:18.53LantiziaI rather think a Debian Mobile base would still be handy for a Maemo flavour, a Debian flavour, a Ubuntu flavour... but apps work on them all
14:19.46kerioJaffa: one of the reasons we need /usr/ in the root partition is that the boot requires pulseaudio
14:19.56keriobecause of the hands
14:20.21kerioalso in general i object to the design of Maemo using *pulseaudio* for audio
14:21.32Jaffakerio: What would you use instead? Taking into account all the routing stuff needed for A2DP, speakers, headphones & call speaker?

14:40.46RST38hjavis: too many virtually identical models, it has become a commodity
14:41.08JaffaPrice is the only differentiator.

14:41.56EdLinyou can get an n900 new for $350 in the us, cheap for an unlocked unsubsidized smartphone. Only thing cheaper is some midrange android phones with worse hardware like the lg optimus one.
14:41.59javispedroRST38h: Android is the only mostly responsible for it; previously a sub$100 "phone" with crappy Symbian-clone (aka Nokla) or WM hand't a change. Now one with Android does

15:34.19alteregoLjL: probably means the device died during the last update.

15:35.58trumeejavispedro, Preenv doesnt list in Fap?
15:36.31javispedrotrumee: preenv is not in user/*
15:37.03trumeejavispedro, so i need to apt-get it?
15:37.04BCMMLjL: i've had a similar message on the n900, after powering off while an application was installing
15:37.36BCMMi guess it detects an inconsistent state indicitive of an interrupted installation and cleans it up
15:38.06BCMM(it wasn't me, it was an incorrectly-attached mount that pushed the power button for me)
15:38.29javispedrotrumee: yes
15:38.39BCMMit's actually a really neat mounting thing, with a tripod attachment thingy

20:41.42cehtehmaybe even android ...
20:42.17Venemowhy is it that the N900's modem consumes more power than it can draw from USB?

20:42.49pupnikElop is not stupid – he is 7th largest personal shareholder in MS,
20:42.57cehtehVenemo: because usb can only provide 500mA .. or 1.5A with charger conneced
20:43.13Venemocehteh: and the modem consumes more?
20:43.42johnxVenemo, not by itself, but you *could* get the phone into a state where it's using more power than it can get from USB

20:45.10VenemoJaffa: "The Community SSU already contains rewrites of two closed source control panel applets with the added feature of portrait mode support." -> portrait mode support? where?
20:45.20flailingmonkeyand bad for its current developers
20:45.35cehtehyeah .. well nokia pissed everyone ..
20:45.40johnxheh. Somehow it feels almost poetic to be considering buying a WP7 phone with the full intention of never booting it into WP7. Reminds me of running linux on whitebox Windows PCs from the '90s :)
20:45.54cehtehmostly its developers and community, which is really a shoot in the foot for them
20:45.59JaffaVenemo: The "TV out" and "notification LED" applets both support portrait mode now.
20:46.10VenemoJaffa: oh, that's nice
20:46.14JaffaVenemo: A few more and http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=832478 can be a reality
20:46.22flailingmonkeypupnik: he'd have been able to sell his MS shares, but once they started talking about that partnership he could no longer do so. he isn't allowed to buy/sell when he has inside knowledge that hasn't been announced to the public
20:46.22johnxcehteh, and they trade that for everyone developing for WP7. I suppose they consider that a fair trade. Otherwise they wouldn't have done it
20:46.24cehtehwhat about an open BME?
20:46.45cehtehwho of the devs here will migrate to wp7, raise hands please ..
20:46.49flailingmonkeyhe'll get a big chunk of Nokia stock, so he will have to keep Nokia afloat for a while
20:47.07Venemojohnx: "considering buying a WP7 phone with the full intention of never booting it into WP7" -> no need to. there'll be better alternatives by then
20:47.28Venemocehteh: I will migrate to MeeGo :P
20:47.33johnxcehteh, I think this channel tends to be linux fans, not nokia fans. These people will go where Linux is (maybe some to Android)
20:47.36cehtehfor a consumer there might be not that big difference (while i still think smartphone consumers think before they buy and have reasons for their choice)
20:48.14cehtehbut for a linux based developer community (unless you run a shop which already does ios apps or so) its very likely a no-go
20:48.23pupnikwho else has a community
20:48.38cehtehandroid is not linux and not free (for a lot reasons)

20:50.29cehtehyes .. my first thought where also about the linux people i know and work there
20:50.41BCMMwmarone: it isn't even linux... it's an increasingly incompatible fork of the linux kernel
20:50.44johnxcehteh, kinda. but it's gonna be full of drivers that you can't really use with a normal distro
20:51.09RST38hand the reason for this discrepancy?
20:51.30cehtehwhen my n900 dies someday i consider the next 'free, open' phone no matter who produces it

20:54.34admiral0where does multiboot search kernels?
20:54.38johnxRST38h, Getting stuff into mainline is too longterm of a goal for companies to be able to approach with rationality. So they right drivers that are quick hacks but are never of the quality required to get into mainline. They hack up anything in their path, not worrying about whether it breaks other drivers or doesn't work on different architecture
