So long, and thanks for all the fish

I am sorry to say that I am leaving this community now. I have been involved since the earliest days of the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet and have had a lot of fun, made some contributions myself, and...

Re: Why are you developing for SailfishOS?

Like others, I do it in my spare time primarily because it is fun and useful to me personally (my N900 can't last forever!). I want my Jolla to take over from my N900 as my primary phone very soon....

Re: How many of you still use N900 as main phone?

I'm still using mine as my main phone. Don't know what I will do when it dies.

Who is still using their N810 regularly? I used to use it for watching TV programmes on planes but I have an...

Re: The End is Coming: What do we do next?

Estel, thanks for your constructive post. While I don't completely agree with your conclusions, you make some very good points and I think this is exactly what should be discussed.

Re: The End is Coming: What do we do next?

Good to hear. But I think the problem is wider than just the binary blobs. It would be great to hear that someone is working on an inventory of all the things we need licences to distribute.

Re: The End is Coming: What do we do next?

Hard problem, which is why it needs to be worked on for a year or so. I think the starting point is to identify exactly what we are asking for and why: which binaries do we want to distribute? why?...

Re: The End is Coming: What do we do next?

This community is dying for one reason only: because Nokia has stopped making devices -- so users and developers are moving to other devices (some faster, others slower, but eventually everyone will...

Eh? Garage is nothing to do with current software -- it is a place to host shared projects. If there were any active projects in garage their owners could move them to some other service, of which...

Re: The End is Coming: What do we do next?

No, it is a serious proposal. Only after Nokia decide they are not willing to continue funding them, of course.

Neither is needed -- plenty of other projects manage without them. There are...

Re: The End is Coming: What do we do next?

There seem to be two separate major requirements:

1) Those of us still using N900 phones want somewhere to discuss them, get software for them, put software we develop for them, etc. This is a...

Re: TCL/TK make your own application without c++

Re: PR1.2 automatically sends SMS, registers phone with My Nokia. Privacy breach?

Re: Some GTK Stock Icons missing?

I have created a package in extras-devel called "Fix PR1.2 Missing Icons" (fixpr12icons) which creates the symlinks (in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon/) when it is installed.

Not quite. The softlink for gtk-delete.png is still wrong!

Re: PR1.2 automatically sends SMS, registers phone with My Nokia. Privacy breach?

If they do that then (i) at least people are warned in advance, and (ii) the community might well produce an alternative upgrade which would only, of course, upgrade the open software, not the Nokia...
