Uneasiness
I'm feeling not too well these days. Some extremely bad performing contract projects combined with a general feeling of restlessness, uneasiness, and aimlessness are haunting me. I have the strong desire to simplify my life, getting rid of a couple of construction sites, and focusing more deeply, but on fewer things. I'm afraid this also means my involvement in various open source projects is at stake. I need to find some answers, soon.
Tracing the baseband
I was reading an article on planetbeing's blog the other day and my curiosity was tipped off when he mentioned that phones don't run only one operating system but two. I decided to learn a bit how all this really works and here are my notes with the source code associated. Hopefully it will help someone investigating the subject..
SoC 2010
Нынешний Summer of Code вновь обошел Inferno стороной, в то время как Plan 9 удостоился шести проектов. В этом году:
1. Venkatesh Srinivas работает над улучшением менеджера виртуальной памяти.
2. Jesus Galan совершенствует 9vx.
3. John David работает над реализацией Heirarchical Patch Dynamics (9hpd).
4. Michael Block собирается внедрить систему методов ввода (для ввода не-английских символов).
5. Andre Guenther планирует портировать DrawTerm на IPhone.
6. Per Odlund портирует Plan 9 на arm-платформу IGEPv2.
PS Результаты первого проекта скорее всего будут портированы в Inferno.
PPS Подробности.

Plan 9 LiveUSB
Для тех кто хочет иметь Plan 9 всегда под рукой Balwinder S Dheeman подготовил LiveUSB на базе FreeBSD 7.2, xorg-minimal и 9vx. Образ содержит в себе все приложения, исходные коды и документацию из последнего plan9.iso. Размер архива: 262 Мб.

Joining twitter
I'm now on twitter. I'll use that for small status updates on the various open source related work I'm doing, e.g. FSO, OpenEmbedded, Vala, and the like. Follow me, if you can :)

We learned today that the previous wmii maintainer, who wasn't actively involved since 2007, Denis Grelich, died on 2010-03-12. We thank him for his work. Rest in peace.
GSoC: Rejected again
Looks like the freesmartphone.org project was rejected again as potential mentoring organization, same as last year. I guess I won't bother applying any more. It's not worth spending the time working on the submission when the whole process is completely intransparent and you don't even get feedback. After having served for other projects as mentor and twice even as project admin for Openmoko, I'm somewhat disappointed about that. Looks like a truly FOSS middleware for embedded systems is nothing Google wants to support. Oh well, less to care about next year.
Deployment вашего софта для OS Inferno
Не найдя подходящего способа установки сторонних приложений в Inferno, Alex Efros предложил собственный вариант и опубликовал его развернутое описание на хабре.
В подтверждение своих слов он создал 4 проекта на google code, каждый из которых использует предложенный им механизм установки:
1. regmonitor - модуль, предназначенный для наблюдения за сервисами, зарегистрированными в registry(4).
2. hashtable - полиморфная версия модуля hash(2).
3. retrymount - версия команды mount(1), автоматически монтирующая источник в случае ошибок ввода-вывода.
4. logger - модуль, выполняющий логирование событий.

We applied as a mentoring organisation for GSoC 2010. See our project ideas for GSoC 2010 page for further details.
