Maemo Weekly News: 1st Feburary 2010
First edition of Maemo Weekly News
Hello, and welcome to the first edition of Maemo Weekly News. This, as the name suggests, is a new weekly digest of news and announcements from in and around the Maemo community. Our team of intrepid contributors are deeply embedded within all facets of the Maemo and 770, N800, N810 and N900 community; whether that's on IRC, talk.maemo.org, maemo.org Downloads, blogs, Twitter or the mailing lists. They read and process all the info, so you don't have to! As this is the first issue, things are still bedding in - features such as the top downloads for the week, the newest downloads and the top bugs are still under development. Also, we're still looking for contributors; so if you feel like you stumble across Maemo items which are well hidden, and of interest to others, please hit "Read more" link to get involved. The key thing to all of us is that this adds lots of value, without taking up lots of our time. If laziness, hubris and a desire to help others are qualities you recognise in yourself, get in touch! Firefox mobile released for Maemo 5 The news has been everywhere, but Mozilla's mobile Firefox (Fennec) has now been released for the N900. Using basically the same engine as the built-in browser, Firefox Mobile brings an interesting new take on the mobile browser user interface; can synchronise with your desktop Firefox and embraces the concepts of add-ons in the same way it's big brother does: Quote:

Ah, I see now that the launch is at 6am UTC. The website counter was telling me that it was 1 minute left for 6am in my local time. Anyway, just launch details.
Looking forward to the real flesh. :) Time for me to reach the office. |

Excellent work Jaffa and Reggie, thanks a lot to all the contributors to find the links and provide us with a good insight of what's happening.
Everyone, please note that this issue was created nearly manually. The feeds and links were provided through twitter, and then Jaffa and Reggie have been fleshing out the contents of the newsletter through editing a simple text file! So big round of applause to them! We're still working hard to try and get an automated system running, so that editors, sub-editors and contributors have a much easier time putting an issue together. Stay tuned for future updates! |
