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: It's official: maemo.org to be orphaned

Quim is looking for the council to create some specific proposals for what they would like to achieve.

Personally, my priorities for a post-Nokia Maemo environment are (in descending order) device...

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.

Does anyone...

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

Care to explain? In my view, the problem which needs addressing now is to make sure anyone can make available any or all of the material needed to continue to allow people to use and develop on...

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: [Announce] BackupMenu - OS backup & restore | New version - Jul 9th(v1.1)

This is a useful tool. But on my test N900 I make heavy use of bootmenu to boot various roots which I keep on SD cards (so I can...

Re: Running native i386 linux binaries

That error tells you there is something wrong with the value you put in /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register.

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

Re: Operator Device Identification - eg, T-Mobile US recognizing it and cutting the $10/mo data plan

It seems the US operators can't be bothered to configure information about phones they don't sell into whatever rules they have in place.

But IMEI's aren't exactly secret -- I would be surprised...

Re: DLNA notification hack

You probably copied the ssdp-fake.py script to a different directory, for example the MyDocs directory.

Try "./MyDocs/ssdp-fake.py <server>". If that does not work, use the "ls" command (the...
