Oh god, I'm having a sneezing fit and the only prescription is the MeeGo Handset UX.

me2000 2010-06-30 14:13

So where is the new handset UX ?
 
Has it been released yet ?

I am pretty sure that there should be a certain dynamic relationship between the thread intention and the thread content. Dogs and cats aside, in a speculative topic named "Looks like [something] is almost out", a lack of references to the PR1.2 thread and Chuck Norris would require Ingsoc moderation. In a post-release thread discussing how to rewrite a module to fit into the touch UI, I would believe there would be less acceptance for subthreading. TMO is a community, not a FAQ slash work log.

Yes. Ignoring the forums is precisely what I've seriously considered in the past, due to really bad s/n ratio. I'm quite sure I'm not alone in considering (and doing) this, from what has been said the USB host mode people are one example of this.

(I've deliberately *not* left, because I think the more people that do that, the worse it is going to get. I also think that there are a lot of people remaining here that I can try help from time to time, so I stay, and do that instead.)

Discussing what this handset UX release is going to bring us as users or developers, useful. Joking about delays and whatnot and that things never come out on time might even be amusing.

10000x posts of "is it out yet" aren't really adding any value into the discussion.

There's a difference between mindless idiocy and on-topic discussion, with occasional banter thrown into it. Some people don't seem to grasp the subtle distinction between the two.

'Looks like the MeeGo Handset UX is almost out' is indeed a proper title to this thread.
As i've always found 'almost' a very flexible word indeed that could stretch from here to eternity :)
and the best thing about that word is that it keeps everyone on the edge :D

Please chill out. Things are on their way. Just look at the times of previous MeeGo Day 1s and releases.

Don't let common sense intrude on our discussion! :D

You're just saying this because the release is delayed! ;)

This is not a Nokia release. It's a MeeGo project release.

MeeGo is not just Nokia.

Not necessary, MeeGo 1.0 was released beetwen 19-21h in CET (early morning in PDT), I assume the most important group of MeeGo is in US

Hmmm so are those times in GMT?? It looks like we are looking at between 17:00 and 20:30 based on prior releases.... :D

Re: Looks like the MeeGo Handset UX is almost out - Due 30 June
 
w00t, oh my bad, I thought this was to be a preview of Nokia's implementation of Meego, not a generic Meego handset UI/UX.

Turkishflavor 2010-06-30 15:03

Re: Looks like the MeeGo Handset UX is almost out - Due 30 June
 
why can't just one developer tell us, if today will be a release or not? what's the problem about that?!

Quim Gil reply implies that the release would be today, on evening in Europe

We need to get some more dubstep in this thread. Makes for better waiting.

Nop, CET = GMT + 2 so it matches more or less with your hours.

@Turk

Cause just one developer wont know. There's probably many workers doing/implementing different stuff so only the "head" would know the progress and how long it would take until they finalized it (of each major step like for the UI, or the OS stack, or HW implementation etc etc)
What your asking for is a leak, and these days you could only take it as a grain of salt "unreliable rumour"

I took a good pause from this forum too. a month or more maybe. just because of the ridiculous amount of noise

(and sorry for the offtopic, should this conversation be moved to offtopic-section?)

It's the first code release for the (to be fully open source) MeeGo handset UX.

And no, I'd say it's been a fairly good collaboration looking at the names of people doing the work so far. @nokia.com people have been doing a lot of discussions and work on MeeGo QA lately for instance.

Equally sorry for the offtopic, but:

Yes, if you think there's a need to discuss it, let's pick it up somewhere else. This thread seems to have moved back on-topic, so let's do our bit in keeping it that way.

Sigh, I'm beginning to concur with others about closing this thread now.
