Summary as sent to the MLs
Dear all,
as a participant of the FSOSHRCON'11 in Essen (Germany) this year, I'd like to summarize the topics we discussed and the work we did this last weekend.
* Date and Location
* Participants
* The Ports (which Devices to support)
* The Stack (SysV Init vs. Systemd / Udev vs. Devtmpfs)
* Stability and Organization
* Solved Tasks
* Openmoko Community Survey 2011 – please take part!
Date and Location:
The FSOSHRCON'11 took place from 16.12. - 18.12.2011 at the Linux
Hotel in Essen, Germany.
Participants:
antrik, GNUtoo, Heinervdm, JaMa, mickeyl, morphis, mrmoku,
nschle85, slyon
The Ports (which Devices to support):
FSO status:
[working] Openmoko GTA01, Openmoko GTA02, Palm Pre (+variants)
[work in progress] Goldelico GTA04, Nokia N900, Google Nexus S
SHR supports:
Openmoko GTA02, Goldelico GTA04, Nokia N900, Palm Pre (+variants),
Google Nexus S
The Stack (SysV Init vs. Systemd / Udev vs. Devtmpfs):
* SHR will switch from SysV init to Systemd in the (near) future, to
provide a faster and cleaner bootup.
* There will probably be a minimal FSO init process, which can be used
to bootup a minimal FSO featurephone stack.
* We see phones as mostly static devices with fixed use cases, thus we
prefer devtmpfs over udev and will use it on all devices running
SHR.
* Udev will stay in the feeds, so power users who want to use their
phone as a mini computer can install it anyways.
Stability and Organization:
* SHR will make releases in the future
* Release will be created from best staging image + feed, but
without maintaining release branch.
* releases consists of a set of features and/or bug fixes
* for testing the new features, staging images are published and
tested by developers and the community
* developers are working on feature branches which are merged after
the work is finished
* versions of major components are locked in SHR and updated as
features
Solved Tasks:
* GTA04 support: you can now build SHR-Core images, which are almost
working. Still lacking proper power management (kernel) and proper
audio routing (fso/alsa) – both are worked on
* shr_elm_softkey: fixed a long standing bug which prevented you from
closing several applications (ffphonelog, ffalarms, iliwi)
* ffalarms: fixed segfault on adding an alarm
* trac cleanup: we started to clean up our trac bug database, which
included closing a lot of outdated/obsolete bugs.
Openmoko Community Survey 2011 – please take part!
We decided to start a poll about which hardware and which software you
use or are interested in these days. The results will help us to
focus on relevant hard-/software.
Please participate in the survey at Doodle and spread the word about
it!
