Exclusive : The Epic Nokia N950 Hands On !

The first Nokia Harmattan / MeeGo device , the Nokia N9 , has been garnering rave reviews everywhere. However there is one more MeeGo phone ie the developer only Nokia N950. Rumor has it that the N950 was supposed to be launched in 2010 as the first MeeGo device but got canned.

Nokia MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan Qt Quick components

Nokia has just released our new great MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan device, N9, it is a developer device N950 and Harmattan SDK beta release. New Qt Quick components library is now part of Harmattan SDK for N9 and N950 devices.

SF 2011 Talk: Last week to submit your application!

Since I’m not a big fan of boring lectures, tribunes or formal declarations of any kind, I’d like to introduce new format for my talk at the San Francisco conference, which, in my opinion, suits the idea of open collaborating community much better. I want those of you, who want their application to be re-designed in a fancy way, to send me links and descriptions of your work and I’ll do it not only for free (as always :) , but using techniques that I’ll be talking about on stage.

Where do we go from here?

The post- Elopocalypse angst has been getting me down over the past few days. It’s against my nature to spend a lot of time worrying about things that are decided, done, dusted. It was Democritus, I think, who said that only a fool worries about things over which he has no control, and I definitely identify with that.

WebKitGTK+ hackfest 2010

After  the daily reports written by Diego in  his blog , few more things can be told about the  WebKitGTK+ hackfest hosted at the  Igalia offices last week, but I’d like to comment anyway some impressions from my personal point of view, if you don’t mind reading them. First of all, this was the second time I attended to this hackfest (I “kind of” attended  last year hackfest as well) but now things were pretty different for me, basically because one year ago I was not part of the Igalia WebKit team yet, hence my contributions in the hackfest were pretty small (see my post back then for more details)

AAC decoder for gst-dsp

One of my purposes for this year was collaborate with the gst-dsp project. But the JPEG decoder was not enough, as there are other released socketnodes by TI which are not yet wrapped in gst-dsp, such as, in this case, the AAC decoder. gst-dsp is a project with only video decoding use case in mind, and audio streams might not be optimally handled by it

The Maemo Community Council elections – Why you should care

The maemo.org community is something of a rare bird in the mobile environment – a self-organizing community centered around Nokia’s tablet line, with a very strong infrastructure and unique spot where users, developers and hackers come together resulting in a lot of synergy and powerful base compared to the niche aspect of Maemo. One of the most peculiar aspects of it is the Community Council , a representative body that deals with all things Maemo. What it can do, why should you care and, most importantly, why should you vote *TODAY* if you are a community member with enough karma ?
