Re: Gary Birkett RIP

I can't believe it, that is truly terrible news. Gary and I spent a lot of time chatting both online and in person at the Maemo and MeeGo events. Such a sad loss.

Re: N900 device program for maemo.org developers and contributors

This is from me, a long time contributer to maemo, a 770, n800, n810 and now n900 user. No the n900 is not for me...

Re: dropping out of summit, out of the game.

I've refrained from commenting as we've already talked about it but ..

Re: dropping out of summit, out of the game.

I'm in limbo land, I go up north, they say I'm now a "Southern Softy", I go anywhere down here I'm a "Northern Wan**r". Can't win but then I'm used to that being married for 8 years now ;)

Re: Summit 2009: video recording

Depends on the camera. If it is digital only and in HD its usually recorded to AVCHD which will need to be transcoded to another format before any online sites will accept it. Could be a problem if...

Re: Sponsoring participants to the Maemo Summit

I don't really see the need for the decision making to be open, I personally would be happy with it staying on the -council mailing list. That way there is a private record of the individual...

Re: Maemo Summit 2009 merchandise and design...

A two shirt idea is great. Last years LugRadio Live had volunteers in yellow (if I remember rightly) t-shirts which made them stand out as people to go chat to if you had a problem.

Re: Sessions you expect in the Maemo Summit 2009

I agree.

We could bump the OpenGL talk to 16.00 if there is no objections from Kate Ahola and the UI talk to 16.30, again if there are no objections from the Digia/User Experience Team.

Re: Sponsoring participants to the Maemo Summit

If you submit a proposal on what you would be talking about we can work from there. The content committee will give thoughts and suggestions to help you make it a compelling talk for the summit.

Re: Sessions you expect in the Maemo Summit 2009

Reminds me of the robot with the Nokia tablet 'Brain'. How about a talk of other OS custom alternatives? Android, a KDE install, Mer, Debian e.t.c in one talk?

Re: Tablet Advocacy

It seems there is a real need for good people at the moment. I've found lots of avenues to explore and had to turn down offers. We, as a country, must have a skills shortage in...

Re: N900 specs revealed

Nokia branding logo indicated this device will be primarily used in portrait mode (logo on left had side) so I say no, this isn't it.

I was just about to say that.

Merchandise needs to be as cheap as possible to allow larger quantities to be distributed hence raising brand awareness.

Re: 8G iphone is now $99 a piece. Good? Bad?

I think he meant for the price of a N810 you could buy 4 iPhones (although the contract issue isn't catered for in that example).

Re: 8G iphone is now $99 a piece. Good? Bad?

I love my iPod touch (iPhone without the phone; I'm a happy N95 owner). Its a very good bit of hardware and if they can crank out essentially the same think for $99 then yes, its very good for Apple....
