Last day in Brazil
Sitting in the business center of the Beach Class Suites hotel trying to fix some strange bugs in ecore-native. In a couple of hours I’m leaving to the airport, travelling back to Frankfurt, Germany. This week in Brazil has been an amazing experience, especially the friendly guys at the INdT. There’…
From Switzerland to Brazil
::: {.img-shadow} {width=“200”} ::: As I have mentioned previously, I’m really trying to cut down the number of conferences I go to this year. However, both the OpenExpo in Bern (from which I returned last friday) and the Bossa Conference in Brazil (which I’m there since saturday) are too important …
Back from Fosdem 2008
::: {.img-shadow} {width=“200”} ::: Just returned from Brussels where FOSDEM 2008 took place. For the second time, the OpenEmbedded team had a booth where we presented embedded devices and talked about build systems and software for mobile and embedded devices. On show were some Zaurus models, an iR…

Tempus Fugit
2007 was a very busy year for me. There has been great progress in the projects I care about, e.g. OpenEmbedded, OpenMoko, OpenEZX, Enlightenment, Maemo unavailable, Ångström unavailable, and some more. In 2007 I travelled more than in all the previous years in sum – lets see whether I recall where …
First encounter with Vala
I just rewrote the openmoko-terminal2 application (a lightweight terminal for the OpenMoko environment using Vte) in Vala. Please compare with the source of the C-based incarnation here. In my opinion, Vala is nothing more and nothing less than the future of application coding for the GNOME platform…
Usability through Bling
Let me point you to two publications I found interesting: Interaction Designer Peter Sikking shows the necessity of a holistic approach in order to create stellar UIs. Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri compares UI toolkits unavailable for “fancy embeded interfaces”.
Framebuffer vs. X11
Putting some new fuel to the neverending fire – whether the (undebatable) performance drawback of using a full-blown window system like X11 outweighs the benefits in flexibility; Just recently I built the Expedite benchmark utility (from the Enlightenment project) for my Neo1973 (266MHz armv4, VGA d…
Java for OpenMoko moves forward
FSFE fellow Robert Schuster informed me about his progress bringing Java to OpenMoko unavailable and presents an interesting free software view of OpenMoko unavailable.
