Happy New Year from the Hildon Foundation — and future years to come for the Maemo Community!
Happy New Year Maemo Community! As we move into the new year, we’re also faced with a very new phase of life — that is, complete control of the maemo.org infrastructure, meaning community governance of the Maemo Community and everything that it implies (community servers and software repositories, various maemo-related software and technology, the talk.maemo.org forum and wiki, etc.). It’s a lot to fathom, but we are certain that if any community can handle it, this one can. Fundraising Likewise, most of you know that the new changes require that we, as a community, foot the bill for all of these new responsibilities
Bypassing Tracker’s file system miner, for example for MTP daemons
Recapping from my last blog article ; I worked a bit on this concept during the weekend. When a program is responsible for delivery of a file to the file system that program knows precisely when the rename syscall, completing the file transfer transaction, takes place. An example of such a program is an MTP daemon.
The New Hildon Foundation Website

QEMU and open hardware: SPEC and FMC TDC

Technical Contributor Coordinator at the Wikimedia Foundation
Today Last week I finally joined the Wikimedia Foundation , with my US visa renewed and all the bureaucratic requirements in place. I work at the Platform Engineering team, reporting to Sumana Harihareswara and having other (remote) neighbors like Guillaume Paumier , Chris McMachon and Andre Klapper (of GNOME & Maemo/MeeGo fame, what a coincidence!). I feel happy.

Open Letter from the Hildon Foundation Board to the Maemo Community
Dear Maemo Community, As long-time supporters and contributors — and, in all humility, quite honored to be counted among all of you — we, the inaugural Hildon Foundation Board felt it necessary that we put forth an open, public statement about how we feel the “Board” should be considered and engaged with. At this point, the first Board meeting minutes have been published for public review. As we hope you’ll see, it is nothing but the Maemo Community’s best interests that we are concerned with.

Introducing Facerecognition Resetter Plugin for the Nokia N9
As my mate Simón was writing short time ago in his post Announcing the Gallery Tilt Shift plugin for the Nokia N9 , we got published at Igalia some plugins for enhancing the experience of the built-in Gallery application in the N9/N950 through the Nokia Store : Enlarge & Shrink Plugin , Gallery Tilt Shift Plugin , and Facerecognition Resetter Plugin . The Enlarge & Shrink Plugin is a filter developed by Antía Puentes for the built-in Gallery application which applies a radial distortion to a picture featuring an enlarge or shrink effect (also known as punch or pinch).
