04:36.49 | andrew_in_co | i've discovered the actual images in /usr/palm/sysmgr/images |

05:04.39 | summatusmentis | specifically { and } |

05:07.57 | summatusmentis | you can actually, sym+h |
05:08.56 | summatusmentis | except there's no close :-/ |
05:09.50 | dwc- | actually I think I have the old xterm stuff |
05:10.00 | dwc- | so I have it on sym y/u |
05:10.32 | summatusmentis | that's [] here |
05:16.10 | netrider | rwhitby: OK ... I installed Xecutah. I'm not sure that I am putting the command line right. |
05:16.16 | summatusmentis | there, hopefully now I got rid of voice dial |

05:17.11 | netrider | I am trying to get skype account to show on my unlocked Pre 3 |
05:17.25 | netrider | I got the right file, I think ... |
05:18.11 | netrider | I am using the following command from Xterm ipkg -force-depends install /media/internal/com.palm.app.skype_1.1-8.3_armv7.ipk |
05:19.44 | dwc- | which pre3 do you have, and what was it activated on |
05:20.21 | netrider | I have the unlocked ATT Pre 3 activated on ATT |
05:20.33 | dwc- | then you should just get skype out of the app catalog |
05:20.45 | netrider | nope |
05:20.59 | netrider | not there ... but let me look again |
05:21.30 | dwc- | http://developer.palm.com/appredirect/?packageid=com.palm.app.skype |
05:21.36 | dwc- | go there from your phone |
05:21.50 | dwc- | what does it say |
05:24.33 | netrider | application not available |
05:24.43 | netrider | for your carrier |
05:25.01 | dwc- | did you get this phone new in box, never activated? |
05:25.18 | netrider | yes |
05:25.29 | *** join/#webos-internals bnceo (TBD@c-69-255-199-184.hsd1.md.comcast.net) |
05:25.33 | netrider | and I put that file in my root directory already |
05:25.47 | dwc- | and you activated it with an AT&T SIM the first time? |
05:25.51 | netrider | I tried to activate it using preware |
05:26.14 | netrider | then I tried the above linux commandline |
05:26.28 | netrider | bubkus |
05:26.35 | rwhitby | preware does not activate phones |
05:27.09 | netrider | no it was activated with the simcard from my Palm Veer |
05:27.17 | netrider | on ATT |
05:27.42 | dwc- | that's interesting... |
05:27.46 | netrider | but it's running WebOS 2.2.0 |
05:29.08 | netrider | I've been following the instructions from http://forums.precentral.net/hp-pre-3/303094-installing-skype-att-pre-3-a.html |
05:29.23 | andrew_in_co | w/ my pre3 I couldn't find skype in app catalog either |
05:29.33 | andrew_in_co | but i followed the instructions by modifying the doctor file |
05:29.37 | andrew_in_co | and that worked |
05:29.47 | andrew_in_co | [at&t pre3 too] |
05:29.55 | dwc- | andrew_in_co: was yours -first- activated with an AT&T sim card in it too? |
05:30.51 | andrew_in_co | good point |
05:30.52 | andrew_in_co | no |
05:30.55 | andrew_in_co | I used T-mobile |
05:31.04 | dwc- | amongst me and 2 friends, 3 pre3s... one first-activated on TMO, the other two on AT&T sims... only the TMO one can't get it in the catalog |
05:31.44 | rwhitby | run impostah, check app catalog -> show device info |
05:32.03 | rwhitby | I bet carrierId is "1" for those that can get it, and something else for those that cannot. |
05:32.34 | netrider | where is impostah |
05:32.39 | rwhitby | in preware |
05:32.41 | dwc- | that's my guess as well |
05:33.10 | rwhitby | mine's not a guess ;) |
05:33.58 | netrider | installing impostah |
05:34.19 | andrew_in_co | carrierId = 66 |
05:34.58 | netrider | carrierid 66 |
05:35.32 | dwc- | sounds like netrider didn't get a never-activated new in box then |
05:35.46 | netrider | wow |
05:35.55 | rwhitby | so as far as HP is concerned, you don't have an AT&T Pre 3, you have a Pre 3 activated on another carrier |
05:36.31 | netrider | so can I get skype? |
05:36.40 | dwc- | yes, but not from the catalog |
05:36.49 | andrew_in_co | if you follow the doctor approach, yes |
05:37.04 | dwc- | or you can use ipkg to install it as well (that's what I did) |
05:37.59 | netrider | I only put one ipk file in the root directory |
05:38.08 | netrider | I should put the other in there, right? |
05:38.29 | netrider | and run ipkg to install it |
05:38.49 | dwc- | I honestly don't remember |
05:39.26 | dwc- | and I never reinstalled sshd and don't have a cable handy at the moment to check |
05:39.41 | netrider | skype-download_1.0-2_armv7.ipk |
05:40.00 | summatusmentis | did the veer ever get T2S? |
05:40.12 | dwc- | if you hack 2.2 onto it |
05:40.23 | summatusmentis | is there a way to do this? |
05:40.35 | summatusmentis | let me rephrase, where do I find the way to do this? |
05:40.35 | dwc- | not a 100% safe way |
05:40.38 | summatusmentis | oh? |
05:40.50 | dwc- | requires some firmware updating |
05:40.55 | summatusmentis | hrm |
05:41.03 | summatusmentis | that sounds potentially bad |
05:41.38 | dwc- | btw, if anyone can find some "social media" contacts for skype people, let me know... I found some guy who used to, but other than that, all I've got is low-level customer support that sends me form replies re: skype on pre3s |
05:41.43 | summatusmentis | so what you're saying is I shouldn't cancel my sprint contract just to get T2S |
05:42.04 | dwc- | I've found T2S to be neat at first, but a little underwhelming afterwards |
05:42.21 | dwc- | it's neat seeing it open the browser window on the other, but then you realize that's pretty much all it can do |
05:42.34 | andrew_in_co | does anyone know if the rounded rectangle behind the volume icon is an image, or something drawn? |
05:42.43 | summatusmentis | I thought there was a way to extend this |
05:43.00 | dwc- | ... and then there's the times you put your phone down on your touchpad and it T2S's when you didn't really want it to |
05:43.08 | summatusmentis | hah |
05:44.11 | dwc- | also, I think T2S would be neater if it didn't pair two phones together and then mark them to share your address book |
05:44.52 | summatusmentis | it pairs phones also? |
05:44.59 | dwc- | yep |
05:45.14 | summatusmentis | interesting |
05:45.18 | dwc- | so not so useful for sharing with friends if you have to then go un-BT pair them afterwards |
05:45.43 | summatusmentis | I'm so upset that webOS phones won't exist moving forward :-/ |
05:46.18 | dwc- | anyways, htere's a forum thread on precentral that covers the veer 2.2.3 and 2.2.4 |
05:46.27 | dwc- | if you want to do the background reading |
05:46.34 | summatusmentis | hrm |
05:46.42 | summatusmentis | intriguing |
05:47.03 | bnceo | oh the Veer |
05:47.07 | bnceo | how I love that phone |
05:47.51 | summatusmentis | I should try the simple mobile 2 week plan |
05:48.06 | summatusmentis | oh wait, that's not data |
05:50.50 | dwc- | so many doctors on this computer, but none for the pre3 |
05:50.57 | dwc- | needs to update novacom drivers |
05:52.59 | netrider | another pre3 patient here ... |
05:53.29 | netrider | I keep trying to run the commandline to install my skype account but i keep getting an error |
05:53.40 | netrider | value 22 |
05:53.51 | netrider | it is in my root directory |
05:53.59 | netrider | on the Pre3 |
05:55.23 | bnceo | I thought Skype was in the app catalog |
05:55.34 | bnceo | and if you got a euro pre3, can be downloaded via Impostah |
05:55.44 | bnceo | unless it's only on AT&T Pre3s |
05:55.51 | dwc- | it is in the app catalog for everyone but AT&T pre3s activated on non-AT&T networks |
05:55.54 | dwc- | I think |
05:56.03 | netrider | I think what I go |
05:56.08 | bnceo | ah. IC IC. Yeah, I activated on AT&T |
05:56.32 | bnceo | funny thing is that Skype isn't even really an app |
05:56.38 | bnceo | just more options for synergy |
05:56.43 | bnceo | anyways, bedtime. gnite |
05:57.06 | bnceo | is hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst (from HP's shindig tomorrow) |
05:57.09 | netrider | it's a unlocked Pre3 on ATT but carrierId of 66 |

19:01.05 | DougReeder | Do I need to know what video chips a netbook uses, or can video drivers for most things be found? |
19:01.28 | dtzWill | DougReeder: well worst case you can probably do something slow but functional |

20:04.43 | Syco54645_work | destinal: i suppose any device out there will allow it |
20:04.48 | Syco54645_work | well within reason |
20:04.53 | linuxjacques | webos on my samsung galaxy S II !! well, maybe not for a while |
20:05.08 | destinal | Syco54645_work: if the target hardware's not locked down too much |
20:05.09 | Syco54645_work | webos on my thunderbolt would be nice |
20:05.18 | Syco54645_work | destinal: exactly |
20:05.27 | Saijin_Naib | I'm excited to see about getting the latest/greatest webOS versions on the backlevel devices |
20:05.30 | rwhitby | Mousey: :) |
20:05.31 | Syco54645_work | didnt you get it mostly booting on the nook color? |
20:05.40 | Saijin_Naib | webOS 2.3.x on a Pixi+? Hell yes thank you |
20:05.53 | Mousey | rwhitby: big hug |
20:06.00 | linuxjacques | howdy Mousey |
20:06.00 | azalyn | by the way, does the hp touchpad have usb? |
20:06.02 | destinal | Syco54645_work: all the way booting except the GUI binary |
20:06.04 | Mousey | hi y'all |
20:06.09 | Mousey | linuxjacques: i got a touchpad |
20:06.09 | azalyn | maybe it would make a good irc machine |
20:06.10 | Saijin_Naib | yes of course it has usb |
20:06.14 | Mousey | it won't be running android |
20:06.17 | Saijin_Naib | are you asking if it has USB host? that i dont know |
20:06.17 | Syco54645_work | destinal: shouldnt be hard now then |
20:06.18 | linuxjacques | Mousey: sweet |
20:06.28 | Mousey | linuxjacques: you gonna be at SCALE? |
20:06.36 | azalyn | i could shove irc on there, and use it instead of a netbook. |
20:06.39 | azalyn | with a smaller keyboard |
20:06.42 | linuxjacques | Mousey: absotively! |
20:06.46 | Mousey | yay!!! |

20:07.47 | linuxjacques | Mousey: I'm sure we can work something out |
20:07.51 | Mousey | ^_^ |
20:08.02 | halfhalo | this will either end badly or awesomely |
20:08.13 | Saijin_Naib | probably both |
20:08.35 | DougReeder | ... or just trail off, that's usually what happens |
20:08.36 | halfhalo | last time scale ended in both I needed a new car door |

20:10.13 | Mousey | the WebOS(-internals) community has been WAY MORE than a stellar steward, so it's up to HP to fsck up the future of WebOS by not encouraging merges and accepting pull requests and forcing people to quit or fork.. |
20:10.40 | halfhalo | knowing the people behind this, that shouldn't be an issue |
20:10.43 | Mousey | other than that, it's up to HP and friends to convince other HW manufacturers to provide support so more high profile software providers will provide software |
20:11.05 | AMR-1 | is keepin up with the Twitter stream : that is the first time I have heard Andreessen chime in! |
20:11.22 | Mousey | well there goes me getting anything done today |
20:12.25 | Mousey | AMR-1: whose feed? |
20:13.14 | Saijin_Naib | tdo, what improvements are those? Is that stuff like launcher tweaks in the 2.x devices because they use accelerated QT instead of just raw HTML? |
20:13.47 | AMR-1 | topolsky |
20:14.09 | EricBlade | hmm. well, if HP isn't going to put webOS on phones, I hope -someone- will |
20:14.48 | AMR-1 | rwhitby: ask HP where Ruby is in all this? |
20:15.54 | azalyn | like mousey said, i'm not worried about the community aspect. webos-internals has always been awesome. |
20:16.31 | azalyn | assuming hp actually gets the code out. the rest should be ok. |
20:16.54 | azalyn | even if they make it difficult regarding merges and so on, that's not a problem, webos-internals will likely have it's own repo. |
20:17.13 | Mousey | do we know what licensing yet? |
20:17.30 | linuxjacques | Mousey: nope |
20:17.31 | azalyn | merging back upstream isn't really that important. if hp wants that, then it's their responsibility to pull in the changes. |
20:17.41 | Mousey | k |
20:19.02 | azalyn | given that android is GPL/BSDL (linux kernel and userland respectively for the most part), and that hp is opensourcing webos likely to make it a better competitor to android.. |
20:19.13 | azalyn | i'm guessing we might see similar license choices |
20:20.10 | scoutcamper | im guessing GPL |
20:20.33 | azalyn | libraries would have to be LGPL. |
20:20.41 | azalyn | minimum. |
20:20.46 | Mousey | what's android? |
20:21.33 | AMR-1 | can't google pull code from webOS now too tho? |
20:21.49 | azalyn | not really. |
20:21.59 | azalyn | the two platforms are way too different. |
20:22.08 | azalyn | webos could use android stuff |
20:22.12 | Mousey | yah, dalvik is the whole thing, all they have is the kernel |
20:22.16 | azalyn | like alien dalvik for example. |
20:22.22 | azalyn | but not the other way around. |
20:22.24 | Mousey | webos is a whole damn linux distro with a custom GUI |
20:22.40 | azalyn | yeah, their gui is called 'luna' or something |
20:22.59 | Saijin_Naib | webOS gui? Luna. What is Dalvik |
20:23.11 | Mousey | dalvik is Googles JVM(tm) |
20:23.15 | azalyn | dalvik is the android virtual machine. |
20:23.17 | Mousey | everything runs inside of it |
20:23.28 | azalyn | not everything. they do have a native sdk now. |
20:23.42 | Saijin_Naib | Ahh, okay. Thanks for the clarification |
20:23.49 | Mousey | it's tacky |
20:23.51 | Mousey | we have cards, dammit |
20:23.55 | Mousey | waves fist |
20:23.57 | Mousey | o/ |
20:24.00 | azalyn | "alien dalvik" is a port of dalvik to other non-android platforms. |
20:24.13 | Mousey | i wish we had a jvm tho.. that'd be nice, i could play minecraft |
20:24.17 | Saijin_Naib | Hey, does anyone think that the HP Wave launcher with the "stacks" will be able to be created now that we have OS content? |
20:24.18 | Mousey | ducks! |
20:24.34 | Mousey | good question |
20:24.37 | Saijin_Naib | I would LOVE to be able to use that. There is nothing that can beat the multitasking and ease of use of webOS + gesture area. Its unstoppable |
20:24.38 | Mousey | it makes me think |
20:24.41 | Brybry | I wonder if hp had to pay microsoft a tax to use webos in their devices like android manufacturers have to |
20:24.47 | azalyn | the jvm is not binary-compatible with sun's jvm |
20:24.47 | Mousey | does this mean we can finally get the HP catalog back in preware? |
20:24.52 | azalyn | well.. oracle's |
20:25.06 | azalyn | oracle jvm is stack based |
20:25.08 | Saijin_Naib | Mousey, this may sound stupid, but what was the advantage of having the HP app catalogue in PreWare? |
20:25.12 | azalyn | dalvik is register based |
20:25.32 | Mousey | Saijin_Naib: i don't have to have/open both app catalogues, i can reach them all from preware |
20:25.34 | Mousey | even the pay stuff |
20:25.38 | Mousey | it was way more convenient |
20:25.50 | Mousey | plus preware is a better app |
20:26.01 | azalyn | i'm still on webos 1.5 i think.. |
20:26.10 | azalyn | since bell in canada hasn't sent the upgrade. |
20:26.16 | Saijin_Naib | 1.4.5 you mean :P |
20:26.25 | azalyn | i'm curious, is webos 2 faster? |
20:26.27 | Saijin_Naib | Okay, thanks Mousey. |
20:26.33 | azalyn | Saijin_Naib: yeah, sorry |
20:26.47 | Mousey | is a helper! |
20:27.02 | Saijin_Naib | Azalyn, I think it depends upon the hardware. I think its heavy on the 256mb RAM devices, but that may be less of an issue now that we have kernel sources |
20:27.05 | Mousey | i have sprint, so i'm stuck on 1.4.5, too |
20:27.11 | Mousey | but my touchpad isn't! ^_^ |
20:27.37 | AMR-1 | brybry: palms patents predate everyone else's |
20:27.46 | Saijin_Naib | Wait, will we now be able to have Palm Profiles greater than the latest Doctor version? Like, I can use a OpenSource 2.x version on my Pixi and actualyl be able to purchase 2.x apps? |
20:27.50 | azalyn | well, webos-internals has detailed how you can force an upgrade i believe. |
20:27.58 | azalyn | but i've been afraid to try it |
20:28.03 | Mousey | can i run my own Palm Profile server FINALLY?? |
20:28.19 | AMR-1 | Mousey: you should frankenpre2... well worth it |
20:28.30 | Mousey | it's creepy to save my personal data on a company i don't work for's servers |
20:28.34 | Saijin_Naib | Speaking of Pre2, does anyone want a GSM pre2? |
20:28.35 | Mousey | AMR-1: i've read about that just recently |
20:29.09 | azalyn | in canada rogers is the only gsm company :\ |
20:29.25 | azalyn | i would like a 'world phone', but i don't want rogers. |
20:29.36 | azalyn | not that bell is that much better of course |
20:29.36 | Mousey | rogers rapes american roamers |
20:29.38 | azalyn | sigh. |
20:29.49 | AMR-1 | sanijin_Naib: put it on ebay they go for about $100 |
20:29.53 | azalyn | all of them are moving to LTE though |
20:29.54 | Mousey | now we need an open source cell network.. like the mexican drug gang had |
20:29.58 | azalyn | so the future might be better |
20:30.13 | Mousey | WiMAX is an open standerd, LTE isn't |
20:30.15 | rwhitby | Mousey: App Tuckerbox brings the HP catalog back to Preware |
20:30.18 | Mousey | but whatever |
20:30.23 | azalyn | Mousey: oh, i know |
20:30.26 | azalyn | wimax is desirable |
20:30.29 | Mousey | rwhitby: thanks, i make note! |
20:30.41 | azalyn | but lte is something we can 'settle' for long term |
20:30.47 | azalyn | it will be better than cdma vs gsm |
20:30.50 | azalyn | and all that garbage |
20:30.59 | Mousey | ugh |
20:31.13 | Mousey | we'll see, LTE is a data standard |
20:31.20 | azalyn | i want to see wimax take off more though. |
20:31.41 | azalyn | would be nice to have chipsets that do both wimax and lte.. that way we could migrate from one to the other. |
20:31.44 | Mousey | i wish i could go to Fry's and buy a WiMAX router and just run my own |
20:32.02 | azalyn | or chipsets with gsm/cdma/wimax/lte all in one chip :P |
20:32.03 | Mousey | that's where WiMAX fell over, no general availability, like with wifi |
20:32.34 | azalyn | i'm not sure what prevents such chips from being inexpensive.. patents? |
20:32.43 | azalyn | contracts ? |
20:32.43 | Mousey | vendor lock-in |
20:32.44 | Mousey | margins! |
20:32.46 | azalyn | trade secret law? |
20:32.50 | Mousey | margins make these things expensive! |
20:32.52 | azalyn | probably a bit of everything. |
20:33.15 | azalyn | Mousey: yeah but moore's law can apply to integrated circuits in general, not just CPUs. |
20:33.22 | azalyn | they should get dirt cheap after awhile |
20:33.39 | Mousey | materials are one thing, engineering resources are another |
20:33.39 | azalyn | and no doubt all radio standards have enough in common to share some things |
20:33.54 | azalyn | materials...? they're made of sand. |
20:33.57 | Mousey | just because things get cheaper doesn't make people who can do ASIC design and layout easier to find, or cheaper to pay |
20:34.29 | azalyn | yeah but that's just r&d |
20:34.36 | azalyn | manufacturing cost is the important thing. |
20:34.36 | Mousey | noo |
20:34.50 | Mousey | well R&D is the main cost |
20:35.18 | Mousey | you can't manufacture without it, and you can't update products or introduce new products without it |
20:35.19 | azalyn | r&d is the *initial* cost, it's not the "main" one. |
20:35.47 | azalyn | i'm pretty sure patents and contracts are the only thing holding this back.. |
20:35.52 | Mousey | that *initial* cost has to be paid long after things are in manufacturing. it may cost 30$ for an ipod, but nobody sells them for that |
20:35.58 | azalyn | and trade secret law, which could fit in 'contracts' |
20:36.17 | Mousey | i'm sure we're both wrong and have no business talking out of our respective asses like this |
20:36.34 | Mousey | otherwise, i say lets go into manufacturing, we could at least agree on what os to use ^_^ |
20:36.48 | azalyn | of course. haiku os. |
20:36.51 | azalyn | :P |
20:36.54 | Mousey | totally |
20:37.07 | Mousey | dual boot amigaOS |
20:37.47 | azalyn | freedos smartphones and tablets as far as the eye can see! |
20:38.03 | tdo | saiiin: yes that's what I meant |
20:38.20 | Mousey | phone.sys |
20:38.28 | azalyn | complete with real mode segmented memory management! |
20:39.50 | Mousey | wow |
20:39.51 | DougReeder | ok, I've created a page, where should i link to it? http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Netbook |
20:40.00 | Mousey | well it's a good thing zdnet and c|net are all excited about webos |
20:40.07 | Mousey | </sarcasm> |
20:40.09 | azalyn | and by the way, my point wasn't about *us*... my point is there *are* companies who more than have the resources to design unified chips like this. but they benefit from segmenting the market. |
20:40.21 | azalyn | divide and conquer. |
20:40.21 | azalyn | etc |
20:40.50 | Mousey | yea. i had that same beef back when PC manufacturers started trending towards integrating peripherials on the motherboards |
20:41.03 | Mousey | it was GREAT for manufacturers, but crappy for customers |
20:41.47 | azalyn | like intel seem to have this habit of not providing virtualization across their whole product line. this isn't because it would cost them more money.. but rather because they want people to have to buy a new cpu if they need virtualization, and suddenly find they can't do it. |
20:41.57 | azalyn | where as amd tends to make it available across all their products |
20:42.10 | azalyn | even their new amd fusion line |
20:42.20 | destinal | DougReeder: what are good ARM netbooks that would be good targets for webos? |
20:42.51 | summatusmentis | are there good arm netbooks? |
20:43.31 | destinal | http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/223918/linux_and_arm_power_new_10inch_netbooks.html might be good webos targets |

20:56.00 | summatusmentis | is it awesome? can I have it? |
20:56.06 | PuffTheMagic | its not so awesome |
20:56.10 | PuffTheMagic | its beautiful though |
20:56.21 | summatusmentis | pretty "not working"? |

21:07.37 | summatusmentis | how do we get this process expedited? |
21:07.47 | PuffTheMagic | that out of our control |
21:07.49 | summatusmentis | that is, how do we get what we need to run this on phones |
21:07.54 | destinal | summatusmentis: code |
21:08.07 | summatusmentis | I mean, yes, but presumably some of the code could be pretty easily released |
21:08.11 | PuffTheMagic | but u can bet that as soon as code is available I will be working to get webos on a new sprint phone |
21:08.16 | PuffTheMagic | my evo3d to start |
21:08.29 | destinal | summatusmentis: graphics code and hidd and powerd especially |
21:08.33 | PuffTheMagic | maybe we need a new fundraiser started |
21:08.42 | PuffTheMagic | so we can get new non HP hardware to playwith |
21:09.00 | destinal | yeah |
21:11.09 | AMR-1 | to estimate timeframe from outside of HP,e we need d a list of non open parts HP has to replace... |
21:12.21 | summatusmentis | I wish they would tell us something |
21:15.07 | AMR-1 | Chiquita: ha! autocorrect :-P hey chuq, is senergy part of open source plans? |
21:16.38 | summatusmentis | OMG, synergy! |
21:16.56 | summatusmentis | I completely forgot about all the backend stuff. |

21:25.29 | RWings19 | pretty freakin' sweet, Puff. I like the prospect for where this could go. |

21:30.31 | PuffTheMagic | summatusmentis, now that source is out it really doesnt matter |
21:30.40 | PuffTheMagic | as long as it has an unlocked/unlockable bootloader |
21:31.01 | PuffTheMagic | i have no idea how generic their code is |
21:31.25 | PuffTheMagic | but for each phone we would need to get buttons, touchscreen, graphics and modem working |
21:31.33 | PuffTheMagic | and LTE is an added issue |
21:31.36 | summatusmentis | I was thinking short term |
21:31.39 | summatusmentis | there's no source right now |
21:31.41 | PuffTheMagic | but if they are android most of that code is out |
21:31.47 | azalyn | PuffTheMagic: does the evo3d have opensource drivers or something? |
21:32.31 | azalyn | i'm not sure how the binary blob driver situation is with phones. |
21:32.32 | summatusmentis | I wonder how compatible some of the android stuff is |
21:32.33 | PuffTheMagic | the evo3d was identical to the touchpad with the exception of the touchscreen |
21:32.34 | azalyn | is it like nvidia? |
21:32.51 | azalyn | they use a small opensource glue to link it to the kernel or something? |
21:33.00 | azalyn | or are the proprietary drivers userspace? |
21:33.46 | PuffTheMagic | the display drivers will be the hardest part |
21:33.47 | azalyn | with the original palm pre, i remember hearing that everything was open in kernel mode except for the wifi driver. |
21:33.59 | PuffTheMagic | they might dictate parts of the userland |
21:34.20 | PuffTheMagic | azalyn, we got opensource wifi drivers working on the pre |
21:34.28 | PuffTheMagic | but they didnt work with the binary luna |
21:34.33 | PuffTheMagic | that could also change with the source |
21:34.42 | azalyn | oh, that is pretty nice then |
21:34.47 | summatusmentis | so if nothing else, we might need glue between android components, and whatever webOS uses |
21:34.51 | summatusmentis | if it comes down to drivers? |
21:35.13 | PuffTheMagic | ehhh |
21:35.25 | azalyn | what makes webos special is mostly it's UI i believe. |
21:35.31 | rwhitby | PuffTheMagic: "now that source is out" - you realise it will likely be months before source is released, right? |
21:35.39 | azalyn | you could take the android kernel.. |
21:35.40 | linuxjacques | :-( |
21:35.45 | azalyn | and port webos on top |
21:35.50 | azalyn | instead of using the webos kernel |
21:35.55 | PuffTheMagic | rwhitby, did I say "now that source is out" |
21:36.02 | PuffTheMagic | i shoudl have said "now that its opensourced" |
21:36.09 | PuffTheMagic | but ya i realize its not going to be tomorrow |
21:36.10 | rwhitby | "PuffTheMagic: summatusmentis, now that source is out it really doesnt matter" |
21:36.12 | bhuey | pretty crazy |
21:36.27 | summatusmentis | rwhitby: it sounds like they're gonna open source parts of it as soon as they can |
21:36.48 | linuxjacques | I hope so |
21:36.50 | azalyn | rwhitby: why exactly is it going to take them so long.. don't they have all the copyrights or something? |
21:36.55 | linuxjacques | keep the excitement going |
21:37.02 | azalyn | did palm use middleware or something? |
21:37.04 | linuxjacques | one major component a week :-) |
21:37.05 | azalyn | that would have to be removed? |
21:37.15 | linuxjacques | startting with launcher |
21:37.21 | rwhitby | azalyn: governance structure needs to be determined first, for a start. |
21:37.21 | summatusmentis | azalyn: they licensed parts of it, and they need to figure out the organizational structure/etc. |
21:37.37 | rwhitby | then parts for which they do not own the IP need to be replaced |
21:38.00 | azalyn | governance? geez.. |
21:38.03 | PuffTheMagic | azalyn, there are also proprietary parts they need to replace first too |
21:38.20 | azalyn | the proprietary stuff i understand, they should certainly remove that.. |
21:38.25 | azalyn | but 'governance' ? |
21:38.30 | AMR-1 | we need to know how many parts those are... do you think they know yet? |
21:38.35 | azalyn | you'd think they could just do the bare minimum and then do a code dump. |
21:38.42 | azalyn | and figure out the bureaucracy later. |
21:38.46 | rwhitby | azalyn: that would ensure failure |
21:39.14 | linuxjacques | would be nice if there were some transparency to the process |
21:39.37 | linuxjacques | translucency as it were |
21:39.48 | rwhitby | linuxjacques: that is key |
21:39.56 | azalyn | works for id software when they open their engines.. :P |
21:40.09 | azalyn | but whatever, i'm patient. i can wait. |
21:40.15 | azalyn | i just hope they don't change their mind. |
21:40.16 | rwhitby | linuxjacques: but I would not expect that before the governance is decided |
21:40.17 | eliasp | yeeehaw, party time...!1!11! SCNR ;) |
21:40.42 | linuxjacques | azalyn: but Id has no plans to use those engines ever again |
21:40.47 | summatusmentis | azalyn: the beaurocracy is important. They have to get the community structure right, otherwise this isn't going to be successful |
21:41.34 | azalyn | it seems to me that the community has been fantastic thus far even though hp's efforts thus far have been less than impressive. |
21:41.53 | linuxjacques | I agree with that |
21:41.56 | summatusmentis | thing is, HP wants to retain some control |
21:42.07 | summatusmentis | they're still gonna pay people to work on webOS |
21:42.10 | azalyn | webos-internals has been fantastic in the face of such terrible odds. |
21:42.10 | AMR-1 | if they put Andreessen on this we are golden! |
21:42.22 | azalyn | you guys are total badasses. i hope you know that. |
21:42.27 | rwhitby | AMR-1: my understanding is that he is Meg's key advisor on this |
21:42.41 | summatusmentis | azalyn: and part of that is because rwhitby understood the need for structure/vision originally |
21:42.43 | linuxjacques | I imagine they are thinking something like Fedora |
21:43.05 | linuxjacques | all major players are RedHat employees |
21:43.17 | summatusmentis | I assume something similar |
21:43.19 | summatusmentis | or hadoop |
21:43.26 | azalyn | summatusmentis: i'm not saying structure and leadership isn't important. i was just saying that the community has been good thus far in finding it's own leadership. |
21:43.32 | summatusmentis | or possibly even to an extent android |
21:43.42 | summatusmentis | azalyn: that's fine, but this isn't "here, go" |
21:43.51 | AMR-1 | they will mirror Mozilla (the new one - the one thAt rolls an update every week) |
21:43.57 | summatusmentis | this is "here, but we want to be a part, and we have business interests" |

21:44.45 | summatusmentis | git is clunky |
21:44.53 | azalyn | mercurial ? |
21:44.54 | AMR-1 | well they have to keep the AppCat - unless they switch to AppTuckerBox :-P |
21:45.13 | rwhitby | AMR-1: they can license that from me |
21:45.16 | summatusmentis | I mean, I'll use git, but I'd prefer something cleaner |
21:45.30 | PuffTheMagic | its git or go home |
21:45.40 | summatusmentis | I guess webos-internals uses git |
21:45.47 | linuxjacques | :-D |
21:45.52 | summatusmentis | so assuming they want any form of compatibility, it'll be git |
21:46.03 | azalyn | i wonder what this means for 'tizen' though.. at one point they were talking like they wanted a webos-ish platform... they mentioned html5 apps and such |
21:46.09 | PuffTheMagic | palm used git inhouse too it hin |
21:46.10 | PuffTheMagic | think |
21:46.16 | PuffTheMagic | doubt they would switch now |
21:46.19 | azalyn | will they just ditch support and back webos? |

21:46.33 | azalyn | seems unlikely |

21:49.56 | linuxjacques | RWings19: I'm sure HP is worried about that too |

21:50.24 | RWings19 | I am still happy with my Pre- about 99% of the time |

21:52.33 | linuxjacques | don't want this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1284 |
21:52.39 | RWings19 | well, I plan to continue using a webOS phone as long as I can find one that will continue to work on Sprint. Here's to hoping this community continues to thrive. |

21:54.09 | Marcus_ | yeah its awful jacques |
21:54.34 | summatusmentis | RWings19: PuffTheMagic has said he'll be working to put webOS on sprint phones once the code drops |
21:54.35 | azalyn | i just hope the original palm pre is well supported by the future opensource versions. |
21:54.41 | azalyn | i can't afford a new phone right now |
21:55.16 | linuxjacques | I would hope the Pre- will remain the minimal target |
21:55.29 | summatusmentis | or even pixi- |
21:55.34 | PuffTheMagic | i dont see newer thatn 1.4.5 on pre or pixi |
21:55.45 | PuffTheMagic | maybe some non ui stuff could be backported |
21:55.52 | PuffTheMagic | like luna service 2 |
21:55.52 | summatusmentis | PuffTheMagic: I suppose that depends on what version gets dropped |
21:56.04 | Marcus_ | right now i think webos is a bit chubby!! |
21:56.18 | RWings19 | yeah, it would be nice to get something later than 1.4.5 on my Pre- |
21:56.55 | dwc- | azalyn: for an example of recentish opensourcing and the process, I imagine it'll be similar to sun with solaris |
21:57.52 | dwc- | and re: source control, I've seen references in the palm stuff to a subversion.palm.com, but who knows whether they'll switch it when they go more externally |
21:58.08 | linuxjacques | that is an interesting point: which version/s of webOS will be released |
21:58.38 | summatusmentis | I think it's safe to assume at least 3.0 |
21:58.40 | summatusmentis | or 3.x |
21:58.44 | linuxjacques | yeah, definitely 3.0 |
21:58.45 | summatusmentis | possibly also 2.2.x? |
21:59.21 | dwc- | probably 2.2 if they push that to the veer and pre2 |
21:59.27 | Marcus_ | isnt the 3.0 for tablet only? |
22:00.04 | linuxjacques | yes, but maybe not by design |
22:01.23 | linuxjacques | from the interview, it does sound like HP is mosly concerned about tablets though :-\ |
22:04.12 | DougReeder | near as I can tell, 3.0 is optimized for tablets, while 2.x was optimized for phones |
22:04.39 | DougReeder | merging them was scheduled for next year |
22:05.18 | DougReeder | Dunno if any work on that has been done since August. |
22:06.28 | linuxjacques | kinda like android 2/3 -> 4 |
22:06.29 | DougReeder | It may be up to the open-source community to back-port 3 to phones |
22:07.33 | DougReeder | And I'll bet work to make it work on the pre - and plus will be left to the community. |

23:04.34 | RhapsodyGuru | exciting news today :) |
23:04.41 | EricBlade | well will 2.2.4 be open sourced, or will it just be 3.0 |
23:05.00 | RhapsodyGuru | I thought all versions were going open source? |
23:05.21 | dwc- | nobody knows! |
23:05.30 | Mousey | it's a mystery! |
23:05.35 | dwc- | just sit tight |
23:05.37 | EricBlade | i'm certain that very few important questions such as things like that have been answered |
23:05.58 | RhapsodyGuru | cool |
23:06.05 | dwc- | maybe in the all-hands, but not in the press release |
23:06.10 | dwc- | and the all-hands was not very long |
23:06.33 | EricBlade | i'm sure many of these have been anticipated, but that doesn't necessarily mean without the rest of the people that were not involved in making the decisions, can they be communicated |
23:06.35 | Mousey | and what licensinging? |
23:06.38 | EricBlade | i feel like i'm speaking like yoda |
23:06.42 | Mousey | kant type |
23:06.55 | Mousey | like yoda, you are not speaking |
23:06.57 | EricBlade | someone said Enyo was leaning towards an Apache 2 license |
23:07.04 | EricBlade | the rest i don't think we've got any info |
23:07.08 | RhapsodyGuru | that wouldn't be a bad license |
