Hi all, The fremantle autobuilder will be switched to use the debian-squeeze devkit in order to resolve as much SDK backwards compatibility issues as possible. After the swich, rebuilt packages will be imported to fremantle extras-devel and the repository will be reindexed. There will be a maintenance outage for about one hour and will start now. -- Niels Breet maemo.org webmaster
As current chair of the Maemo Community Council[1], I'm announcing
that the third council election will conclude at:
Sunday, 27th September 2009 23:59 UTC[2]
This will give the incoming council about two weeks to nominate a
chair; prepare for the first sprint meeting of the new term (Tuesday,
6th October) and get ready for the kick-off of the community days at
the Maemo Summit 2009[3].
WHAT IS THE COUNCIL?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The council is an elected body of 5 members of the Maemo community who
represent the community to Nokia and facilitate cross-community
discussions and organisation. For example, activities the council have
been involved in include:
* The Maemo Summit 2009 location, date, schedule and accomodation
* Promotion and support of Mer[4], as the future of Maemo for
current devices.
* Chairing the monthly maemo.org sprint meetings and setting
priorities for the paid members of staff.
* Triaging bugs.
* Communicating with people outside the community on behalf of
the community.
* Helping define the Extras QA process.
* The interviewing and choice of the maemo.org docmaster.
You don't have to be a council member to work on these tasks, but the
council can help avoid duplication of work; and raise awareness of the

[This text has been posted to http://etrunko.blogspot.com/2009/03/canola-is-free.html] I'm pleased to announce that I've just closed bug #3881, which means that from now on Canola and all its components are licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3. The source code of the former closed-source packages, Atabake, Download Manager, Terra and Canola, has been uploaded to our gitorious server a few hours ago. The canola-devel mailing list for developers is already set up and working on garage. Everyone is very welcome to join us in the development of the project. For documentation, such as installation instructions, build dependency, and so on, I'm setting up a wiki that should go online by the end of this week under the openbossa.org domain. With all this, Canola officially leaves the beta status. The packages of for the final 2.0.0 version will be uploaded soon, together with brand new Maemo-EFL. Last, I'd like to thank everyone for supporting the project even before the very first release and especially for providing feedback on the various releases we had since December 2007. If today we were able to release Canola as Free Software, consider yourself responsible for it as well. Best Regards, Etrunko.(Continue reading)

Dear all, We are happy to announce maemo SDK+ Alpha-1 development environment for maemo developers. Release information ------------------- Project: maemo SDK+ Version: ALPHA-1 Baseline: baseline neutral Date: 2007-12-20 What is maemo SDK+ ? -------------------- Maemo SDK+ ALPHA-1 provides an alternative way to do maemo application development. Unlike all previous maemo SDKs this SDK is based on Scratchbox 2 (SB2) cross-compilation engine. The previous maemo SDKs were all based on Scratchbox 1 (SB1). There are some differences between maemo SDK+ and other maemo SDKs. For example maemo SDK+ is not a "closed" development environment. You are working and developing in your native Linux PC (you could develop your maemo application under your ~/src/ directory if you like). In addition you can basically use any normal Linux tool or utility (as such) without the need to port it inside SB1 like in older releases.(Continue reading)
