22:05.07DocScrutinizer05LOL
22:05.15DocScrutinizer05nice one
22:05.31jon_Did the neo900 project die?  Last update on neo900.org was Christmas, nobody is talking about it on talk.maemo.org, and the last post in the forums there was almost a month ago (and was the only post that month).
22:06.11DocScrutinizer05not much to report, we're busy hiring layouter
22:06.11atkNo, it didn't die
22:06.25atkWhat happened to the current layouters?
22:06.44DocScrutinizer05you know their names, the're in here
22:06.59atkYes, ahycka I think, and I can't remember her friend's name
22:07.02DocScrutinizer05ceene did an awesome job creating all the footprints we need
22:08.09jon_Ok... am thinking of finally buying the "partial funding" shop item towards a bare board.  Still having good progress then?  I should give my money and be patient?
22:08.35DocScrutinizer05I did a few minor git commits to layout and schematics 'style' during the last few days, to accomodate for a few minor 'issues' aka questions that came up when we handed the stuff to layouter
22:09.11*** join/#neo900 arnaudj (~Thunderbi@85-171-19-190.rev.numericable.fr)
22:09.39DocScrutinizer05jon_: I can't promise more than I did a year ago, we're trying hard and there's no known obstacle we couldn't solve
22:09.57DocScrutinizer05just terribly short on manpower
22:09.57jon_No worries, that's all I needed to know.  :)  Thanks, and keep up the good work!
22:10.00enycDocScrutinizer05: whats happened about proto_v2 and PoP ram/cpu ?
22:10.16enycthere was a soldering issue uurc
22:10.19DocScrutinizer05enyc: PoP RAM is no issue for Neo900 right now
22:10.28jon_If I had any experience with what you need I'd offer a hand, but I'm a cybersecurity guy.  lol
22:11.05DocScrutinizer05it wouldn't even be an issue for GTA04A5 / GolDeliCo if they had enough funds to afford the test runs producing paperweights
22:11.19atkDocScrutinizer05: What I mean to say, last I head ahycka was working on the layout, was she unable to continue, was it not possible to hire her?
22:11.41DocScrutinizer05I think she lost interest
22:11.46atkI see
22:12.13DocScrutinizer05since she offered voluntary work, we can't prod or moan
22:12.22atkThat is an unfortunate side effect of working on big projects as a volunteer.
22:12.49atkIf you're looking to hire a layouter, have you considered offering to pay her?
22:12.57DocScrutinizer05well, we're now trying to get professional support
22:13.28DocScrutinizer05I started with trying to hire her, she genuinely wasn't interested
22:13.33atkI see
22:14.07atkI feel layout can be quite a boring task
22:14.13DocScrutinizer05I'll get to know more about new layouter on weekend
22:14.29atkand, long
22:14.36DocScrutinizer05yeah, indeed
22:14.45DocScrutinizer05you need to be born for that
22:15.03enycDocScrutinizer05: where do you find layouters?
22:15.15atkin the layouter shop, obviously :P
22:15.22DocScrutinizer05like maybe for 10000 pieces jigsaw puzzles, or building empire state building model from matches
22:15.55DocScrutinizer05enyc: that's not a simple task, particularly since we want to use FOSS tools, read: kicad
22:16.31DocScrutinizer05and we need a professional who can do OMAP 515pin 0,4mm pitch BGA layout
22:16.49enycDocScrutinizer05: have you submitted any kicad patches upstream?
22:17.09enycDocScrutinizer05: so kicad/other devs  carry usable patches ongoing, rather than needing to keep your own ''custom'' variants?
22:17.23atkIf you need help dealing with the submission side of patches (cleanup, dealing with mailing lists, etc) I can help
22:19.16DocScrutinizer05quote from our layouter >>OK I thank you for this chat, I hope to hear from you guys ... your OMAP comment is correct. 0.4mm pitch is no kindergarden stuff :-):-)<<
22:20.03DocScrutinizer05enyc: we don't patch kicad. We had a few bugs reported and instantly fixed iirc
22:20.54DocScrutinizer05atk: much appreciated, I'll think about it
22:21.49DocScrutinizer05((quote from our layouter)) in spe
22:24.18DocScrutinizer05oh, and another BIG THANK YOU to ravelo who really saved my life a few times already during last 2 or 3 months
22:25.01DocScrutinizer05it been him who found the layouter
22:45.54*** join/#neo900 chainsawbike (~chainsawb@unaffiliated/chainsawbike)
22:50.53DocScrutinizer05ok I updated http://neo900.org/stuff/latest/neo900-schematics.pdf - no idea how to update http://neo900.org/resources website accordingly
22:53.04DocScrutinizer05oh and yesterday werner fixed a tiny flaw in eeshow I found, you will want to build the latest version from git if you want to create the schematics pdf file yourself
22:54.00DocScrutinizer05atk: if you feel chatty... a short summary on tmo is always welcome ;-)
22:54.23atkMaybe tomorrow, I was thinking of sleeping :P
22:54.35DocScrutinizer05very welcome :-)
22:54.44DocScrutinizer05have a nice rest
22:55.25atkThanks, good night.
