magnus-plus photo: an application that combines a camera-based magnifier with more advanced image processing techniques, that would enable one to: 
- use it as a magnifier (with optional light from the camera LED). 
- use it as a photo negatives lightbox that automatically inverts the negatives and adjusts the colors for proper display:
the user just have to hover it over the (back-lit) negatives and on the screen the corresponding positive (or magnified part of it) is displayed in real-time. 
- use it as an EVF add-on to SLRs to help with manual focus, leveraging the possibility of amplifying contrast and magnifying.

Making a small and smart mobile widgets toolkit on top of plain QWidget + CSS for styling, named MWTk.
And using this toolkit to make several apps for MeeGo (and runs onto Maemo5 and Symbian too, even on desktop OS) and a new environment, that aims to be a good alternative to default MeeGo Handset UX, bringing it on pair with Harmattan UX, by giving it a successor to the deprecated MeeGoTouchFramework.
Already some testable sources can be found on the project gitorious repos.

magnus-plus photo: an application that combines a camera-based magnifier with more advanced image processing techniques, that would enable one to: 
- use it as a magnifier (with optional light from the camera LED). 
- use it as a photo negatives lightbox that automatically inverts the negatives and adjusts the colors for proper display:
the user just have to hover it over the (back-lit) negatives and on the screen the corresponding positive (or magnified part of it) is displayed in real-time. 
- use it as an EVF add-on to SLRs to help with manual focus, leveraging the possibility of amplifying contrast and magnifying.

Making a small and smart mobile widgets toolkit on top of plain QWidget + CSS for styling, named MWTk.
And using this toolkit to make several apps for MeeGo (and runs onto Maemo5 and Symbian too, even on desktop OS) and a new environment, that aims to be a good alternative to default MeeGo Handset UX, bringing it on pair with Harmattan UX, by giving it a successor to the deprecated MeeGoTouchFramework.
Already some testable sources can be found on the project gitorious repos.
https://gitorious.org/meego-community-mobile-ux-ng

magnus-plus photo: an application that combines a camera-based magnifier with more advanced image processing techniques, that would enable one to: 
- use it as a magnifier (with optional light from the camera LED). 
- use it as a photo negatives lightbox that automatically inverts the negatives and adjusts the colors for proper display:
the user just have to hover it over the (back-lit) negatives and on the screen the corresponding positive (or magnified part of it) is displayed in real-time. 
- use it as an EVF add-on to SLRs to help with manual focus, leveraging the possibility of amplifying contrast and magnifying.

Making a small and smart mobile widgets toolkit on top of plain QWidget + CSS for styling, named MWTk.
And using this toolkit to make several apps for MeeGo (and runs onto Maemo5 and Symbian too, even on desktop OS) and a new environment, that aims to be a good alternative to default MeeGo Handset UX, bringing it on pair with Harmattan UX, by giving it a successor to the deprecated MeeGoTouchFramework.
Already some testable sources can be found on the project gitorious repos.
https://gitorious.org/meego-community-mobile-ux-ng
And there is a page with some screenshots of the look that MTWk can do (this page will be moved on gitorious wiki soon) :

Sivan: /* Linux */

= Installing MeeGo to N900 on external MMC card =

'''NOTE: Read the whole guide before doing any steps from this guide to make sure you understand everything.'''

If you do not want to erase the NAND partition or the internal 32G eMMC from the N900 device, this installation is for you. What you need for this installation is a raw image that can be put to the MMC card and kernel (same kernel that is installed to the MMC).

=== Images ===

Raw images and corresponding kernel images can be found at http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/ (development builds) and http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/releases/ (stable releases)

Find official release images here ([[ARM/N900#Releases]])

You may want to check for the most recent N900 test reports at [[Quality#MeeGo_Handset_Testing]] to see how much functionality is known to work on the N900.

== Installing Rootfs on external MMC card ==

First what you need, is a microSD memory card which does not contain any information that you need, as it will be erased during this operation.

The steps in this guide require an MMC card of at least 4gb.

=== Linux ===

When inserting the microSD memory card in the card reader, you need to find out what the proper device for the card is. You can also plug the N900 into your computer's USB slot using the package provided cable. Make sure the external microSD card is unmounted, as with most modern linux distributions today it will get auto-mounted if the has a valid filesystem (FAT32 or ExtX). To unmount, you can try this example:
sudo umount /dev/sdX

And use the mount command to determine if/ where it is mounted:
sudo mount (for an example how the microSD would look go [[MountOutput here]].

Finding out the device node can also be done with for example fdisk:
sudo fdisk -l

An example output ('''NOTE: The /dev/sdX is used as an example on your PC this might be also called /dev/mmcblk0, /dev/sdd or something else''')
$ sudo fdisk -l
...
Disk /dev/sdX: 3965 MB, 3965714432 bytes
194 heads, 30 sectors/track, 1330 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 5820 * 512 = 2979840 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x0001ab40

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdX1 1 588 1708984 83 Linux

'''NOTE: The .raw image contains the partition table as well. So the image needs to be written to /dev/sdX not /dev/sdX1.'''

After you are 100% sure that the /dev/sdX is the microSD memory card you just inserted in the card reader, you can use for example dd to put the image to the card:
$ sudo dd bs=4096 if='''<raw_image>''' of=/dev/sdX

If you are low on disk space, you can use

$ bzcat <raw_image>.bz2 | sudo dd bs=4096 of=/dev/sdX

to decompress the compressed raw image on the fly without having to unpack it on you computer first. And if you have pv(1) installed, you can add it in between to display the progress (the image is ~ 2GB in size as of 2010-10-04):

$ bzcat <raw_image>.bz2 | pv | sudo dd bs=4096 of=/dev/sdX

The dd does not show any progress until the file is written to the device, so be patient.

Although sending a USR1 signal to a running dd process makes it print I/O statistics to standard error and then resume copying:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null& pid=$!
from another term:
$ kill -USR1 $pid

dd will output:

328356+0 records in
328356+0 records out
1344946176 bytes (1.3 GB) copied, 105.625 s, 12.7 MB/s

After this, you can insert the card in the N900.

=== Windows ===

# Download and install bzip2 to Windows http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/bzip2.htm
# Uncompress raw image in command prompt "bunzip2.exe <compressed raw image>"
# Download the Win32DiskImager.exe program: https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/+download (zip file)
# Unzip the file and extract the contents to a known directory
# Run W32DiskImager.exe
# Select the MeeGo image file (note you must write *.* file name to see all files)
# Select the drive letter which corresponds to the microSD memory card.
# Click the "Write" button to byte-copy the image to the microSD memory card.

=== Mac OS X ===

When inserting the microSD memory card in the card reader, you need to find out what the proper device for the card is. This can be done with disktool:
diskutil list

An example output ('''NOTE: The /dev/diskX is used as an example on your Mac this might be also called /dev/disk2, /dev/disk3 or something else''')
$ diskutil list
...
/dev/diskX
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: FDisk_partition_scheme *4.1 GB disk3
1: DOS_FAT_32 DISKETTE 4.1 GB disk3s1

'''NOTE: The .raw image contains the partition table as well. So the image needs to be written to /dev/diskX not /dev/diskX1.'''

After you are 100% sure that the /dev/diskX is the microSD memory card you just inserted in the card reader, you can use for example dd to put the image to the card:
$ sudo dd bs=4096 if='''<raw_image>''' of=/dev/diskX

If you are low on disk space, you can use

$ bzcat <raw_image>.bz2 | sudo dd bs=4096 of=/dev/diskX

to decompress the compressed raw image on the fly without having to unpack it on you computer first.

The dd does not show any progress until the file is written to the device, so be patient.

Although sending a SIGINFO signal to a running dd process makes it print I/O statistics to standard error and then resume copying:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null& pid=$!
from another term:
$ kill -SIGINFO $pid

After dd is done dd will output something similar like this:

475136+1 records in
475136+1 records out
1946157057 bytes transferred in 2606.033611 secs (746789 bytes/sec)

After this, you can eject the microSD and insert the card in the N900.

=== On the N900 itself ===

This should be a last resort solution.

# Download and unpack the raw image to a desktop computer (see above).
# un-mount the microSD memory card
sudo gainroot
umount /dev/mmcblkXpY
dd if=/home/user/MyDocs/'''<raw_image>''' of=/dev/mmcblk1

==== Notes ====
* X, Y in umount command should be the device number and partition number, usually 1, 1. '''Do not take information from /proc/partitions!'''
N900 swaps devices during boot and /proc/partitions is what the kernel initially sees when it is loaded. N900's SD-Card is /dev/mmcblk1 for Maemo5-Standard-Install and not like shown in /proc/partitions, /dev/mmcblk0! NITdroid's SD-install has SD-Card as /dev/mmcblk0 instead. If you want to see what is mounted at the moment type "mount|grep mmc" or "df|grep mmc".
* There might be more than one partition on the microSD memory card, though it is unlikely and depends on your own setup. You need to unmount all partitions before you proceed to `dd`.

* It is possible to download the compressed image to your N900 but it is not recommended as it takes very long to unpack.
* `dd` does not give any output while it is copying, so be patient.
* If you aren't sure about any of these steps you should not proceed without consulting a professional.

== Load or flash kernel on N900 ==

Before the MeeGo is able to boot you need also load the kernel (vmlinuz) provided with the raw image to the device. This can be done with the [[ARM/N900/tools/flasher|flasher]].

===Prerequisites===

* the flasher application needs to be installed on your computer. You can get it from [http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-dev-env-downloads.php here].
On 64-bit Ubuntu/Debian this command would do the trick, after downloading the .deb file:

$ sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i maemo_flasher-*i386.deb

===Running Meego===

'''NOTE: First open the back cover of N900 and insert the MMC card to the slot, reinstall the back cover again.

'''NOTE: Back cover must be closed to boot from MMC.'''

'''NOTE: If you have a flashing jig, you will need to put a magnet at the red location marked [http://www.daimi.au.dk/~cvm/magnet.png here]'''

You need to execute the following command on your host system.

'''NOTE: the device must be turned off and disconnected from the computer. Connect it to the computer using the USB cable only after executing the command'''

$ sudo flasher-3.5 -l -k '''<kernel>''' -b

A message like:
flasher v2.5.2 (Oct 21 2009)
Suitable USB device not found, waiting.
is shown on the terminal of the computer.

Then connect N900 to the computer via the USB cable and Meego OS will be booted.
You may need to keep 'U' key pressed (on the phone's keyboard) when connecting the cable.

'''NOTE: The command above will only load the kernel to the device, so next time you boot the device the original kernel should be used and your Maemo 5 OS should boot normally.'''

If you want to flash the kernel to your device so that it is not forgotten when it is powered off use option -f instead of option -l on command above.

'''NOTE: It's highly recommended NOT to flash the kernel on your device unless you really know what you're doing (so please use -l instead of -f). Don't blame us if you brick your device, you have been warned!'''

Qt across (Maemo-)MeeGo & Symbian

2011-01-17T16:47:07Z

Sivan: finally added the Futurice presentation! Thanks to Alexandra

== Background ==

The introduction of the Nokia Qt SDK enables great ideas to become reality, in a cross platform way. "Code once, deploy everywhere" is not just a slogan for latest Qt releases, and the recent additions of API stacks like Mobility, QMF and sensors stretches what you can do by purely using the Qt framework. This allows great exploitation of the underlying platform while maintaining straight forward API usage and relatively relaxed learning curve.

This latest additions have been exemplified mostly on Nokian mobile Linux computer platforms. I would like to be able to offer Symbian developers the same great building blocks to build great software using pure Qt just as it is slowly being realized on the N900/Maemo/MeeGo.

I think this is very important in order to keep the Symbian offering live and up to date, and not fall behind the Mobile Linux computers application development offering. I feel this is important in order to revive the Symbian experience, as historically developing for the platform required specific lowlevel platform knowledge and usage of somewhat exotic development, signing and deployment paradigms that are even to date, considered by Symbian developers hard and unpleasant.

I would like to change this and make Symbian development fun, educational and rewarding through the latest Qt offerings, removing as much as possible the historic barriers. Nokia's latest changes to the signing and individual app publishing are great steps towards that, as an example.

== Breakdown to milestones ==

To make the MeeGO-Symbian cross application development experience complete I would like to pursue:

* Blogging about new features that allow to code once deploy everywhere. Code snippets that exemplify and emphasis cross platform-ness.
* Be in constant touch with developer community to see what they liked to be taken from N8 to N900 and vice versa ( == S^3 <-> MeeGo)
* Create guides and tutorials / blog posts about how to port an app that uses feature or api X in either platforms to the other if use of api X feature requires porting work.
* blog and write about porting success stories between the platforms; reach out for companies we know target N8/S3 as well as N900/MeeGo through OVI and ask for their experience. We should be able to learn from their experience, publish it with their consent for good of community and identify where we're great and where not with our support of them.
* List the features/ api calls that do not need any modifications to be ported, to encourage early consideration of cross Symbian/MeeGo code.
* Be up to question about porting through a mailing list, an irc channel and a Forum Nokia discussion board and forums.meego.com section.
* Try to tackle the GUI open-ended problem in places where mobility is not giving the answer; Either by documentation or recipes and bug fixes where applicable and up to my (and interested community members) skills.
* Covering the progress of Qt components that are slowly getting backends both for Symbian and MeeGo, blog/ announce when they are ready and provide recipies to show them off when backends are available for
both platforms. Posting vidoes.
* __Very__ distant goal- writing a book about cross platform development for MeeGo and S3 maybe similar to [0]: but with more emphasis on full real world applications (-recipes). The hope is that developers and companies could reuse recipes close to verbatim in their apps.

That might look too ambitious at first glance, but it is planned for over a period of time, the more proximate stuff are the first action items naturally.

[0]: http://eu.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0470750103.html

== Ongoing Work and Contacts ==

As some efforts and already ongoing for Qt across Symbian and MeeGo, it is useful to know who does what and the fields he can help with already, through the work he's done so far.

If you are interested in contributing to one of the items listed here, please contact the person coordinating it and start a discussion on the porting mailing list.

== Current general issues with the Symbian-MeeGo story ==

Thanks for Ville for pointing this status:

We have 2 Symbian - MeeGo portability stories

* QWidget
* QML + Qt Components

(as far as the GUIs go - backend functionality is an open-ended problem,
with a lot of it attacked by Qt Mobility).

Unfortunately QWidget stuff is not mature yet for MeeGo, so you can't do
a useful analysis of the portability aspects.

As for Qt Components, Symbian backends don't exist yet. and for MeeGo
it's a work very much in progress as well.

== Maemo to MeeGo portability stories ==

And actually, we have a quite large Maemo -> MeeG portability story, which seems to still require a lot of work, and most of the current apps on Maemo are gtk+ based. So to offer a complete UX on the (Nokia?) arm handset this must be take in account:

* To possibly avoid complete Qt rewrite of legacy Maemo application we want to support on MeeGo, it would be nice to have something along the lines of - http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=129715. This is a gtk+ plugin that allows rendering of Gtk apps with the current Qt theme.

== Collecting Porting Experience ==

Please use this table to note any current issues you are facing trying to make your application cross platform (MeeGo <-> Symbian).

Please provide the git/svn/bzr/$YOUR VCS clone-able/branchable link so I can easily check out the code and see the build issues and try to run it on my devices to experience your pain. I am interested in creating "porting bugs" so of your issue triggers a bug in the underlying framework I will try best to report it as so.

If you already identified it as not your code's fault, and opened a bug about it, please include the links to the bug reports in the "VCS link" column as well.

If the issue was already solved, please include a link to a solution writeup you could do on the wiki for the benefit of others who face the same issue you did.

Qt across (Maemo-)MeeGo & Symbian

2010-12-22T22:19:29Z

Sivan: /* Collecting Porting Experience */ added note about QuickHit

== Background ==

The introduction of the Nokia Qt SDK enables great ideas to become reality, in a cross platform way. "Code once, deploy everywhere" is not just a slogan for latest Qt releases, and the recent additions of API stacks like Mobility, QMF and sensors stretches what you can do by purely using the Qt framework.

Qt across (Maemo-)MeeGo & Symbian

2010-12-21T22:02:32Z

Sivan: /* Resources */

== Background ==

The introduction of the Nokia Qt SDK enables great ideas to become reality, in a cross platform way. "Code once, deploy everywhere" is not just a slogan for latest Qt releases, and the recent additions of API stacks like Mobility, QMF and sensors stretches what you can do by purely using the Qt framework. This allows great exploitation of the underlying platform while maintaining straight forward API usage and relatively relaxed learning curve.

This latest additions have been exemplified mostly on Nokian mobile Linux computer platforms. I would like to be able to offer Symbian developers the same great building blocks to build great software using pure Qt just as it is slowly being realized on the N900/Maemo/MeeGo.

I think this is very important in order to keep the Symbian offering live and up to date, and not fall behind the Mobile Linux computers application development offering. I feel this is important in order to revive the Symbian experience, as historically developing for the platform required specific lowlevel platform knowledge and usage of somewhat exotic development, signing and deployment paradigms that are even to date, considered by Symbian developers hard and unpleasant.

I would like to change this and make Symbian development fun, educational and rewarding through the latest Qt offerings, removing as much as possible the historic barriers. Nokia's latest changes to the signing and individual app publishing are great steps towards that, as an example.

== Breakdown to milestones ==

To make the MeeGO-Symbian cross application development experience complete I would like to pursue:

* Blogging about new features that allow to code once deploy everywhere. Code snippets that exemplify and emphasis cross platform-ness.
* Be in constant touch with developer community to see what they liked to be taken from N8 to N900 and vice versa ( == S^3 <-> MeeGo)
* Create guides and tutorials / blog posts about how to port an app that uses feature or api X in either platforms to the other if use of api X feature requires porting work.
* blog and write about porting success stories between the platforms; reach out for companies we know target N8/S3 as well as N900/MeeGo through OVI and ask for their experience. We should be able to learn from their experience, publish it with their consent for good of community and identify where we're great and where not with our support of them.
* List the features/ api calls that do not need any modifications to be ported, to encourage early consideration of cross Symbian/MeeGo code.
* Be up to question about porting through a mailing list, an irc channel and a Forum Nokia discussion board and forums.meego.com section.
* Try to tackle the GUI open-ended problem in places where mobility is not giving the answer; Either by documentation or recipes and bug fixes where applicable and up to my (and interested community members) skills.
* Covering the progress of Qt components that are slowly getting backends both for Symbian and MeeGo, blog/ announce when they are ready and provide recipies to show them off when backends are available for
both platforms. Posting vidoes.
* __Very__ distant goal- writing a book about cross platform development for MeeGo and S3 maybe similar to [0]: but with more emphasis on full real world applications (-recipes). The hope is that developers and companies could reuse recipes close to verbatim in their apps.

That might look too ambitious at first glance, but it is planned for over a period of time, the more proximate stuff are the first action items naturally.

== Current general issues with the Symbian-MeeGo story ==

Thanks for Ville for pointing this status:

We have 2 Symbian - MeeGo portability stories

* QWidget
* QML + Qt Components

(as far as the GUIs go - backend functionality is an open-ended problem,
with a lot of it attacked by Qt Mobility).

Unfortunately QWidget stuff is not mature yet for MeeGo, so you can't do
a useful analysis of the portability aspects.

As for Qt Components, Symbian backends don't exist yet. and for MeeGo
it's a work very much in progress as well.

== Maemo to MeeGo portability stories ==

And actually, we have a quite large Maemo -> MeeG portability story, which seems to still require a lot of work, and most of the current apps on Maemo are gtk+ based. So to offer a complete UX on the (Nokia?) arm handset this must be take in account:

* To possibly avoid complete Qt rewrite of legacy Maemo application we want to support on MeeGo, it would be nice to have something along the lines of - http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=129715. This is a gtk+ plugin that allows rendering of Gtk apps with the current Qt theme.

== Collecting Porting Experience ==

Please use this table to note any current issues you are facing trying to make your application cross platform (MeeGo <-> Symbian).

Please provide the git/svn/bzr/$YOUR VCS clone-able/branchable link so I can easily check out the code and see the build issues and try to run it on my devices to experience your pain. I am interested in creating "porting bugs" so of your issue triggers a bug in the underlying framework I will try best to report it as so.

If you already identified it as not your code's fault, and opened a bug about it, please include the links to the bug reports in the "VCS link" column as well.

If the issue was already solved, please include a link to a solution writeup you could do on the wiki for the benefit of others who face the same issue you did.

Predictive virtual keyboard

2010-11-22T14:55:50Z

Sivan: /* 2010-11-20 */

[[File:Predictive virtual keyboard.png|right|Mockup]]
== The idea ==

The idea is to have the virtual keyboard know what letters are more likely, and:

* make them easier to hit, and
* ''(possibly)'' highlight them visually, or at least dim all the other ones.

== Implementation ==

The back end can take a set of Markov chains based on a given language and output the most likely result. [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~tthurman/git/predictive.git/ Here's a sketch of a program to produce such a database.]

''Possibly'' we could also reuse [http://meego.gitorious.org/meegotouch/meegotouch-inputmethodengine/blobs/master/words/mimenginewordsinterface.h IM predictive text], but there are statistical reasons why this isn't a perfect solution.

(What about the front end?)

== Training texts ==

What would be appropriate training texts for each language? Public domain would be helpful, so they will be quite old, but if they're too old (e.g. Chaucer in the original) they'll be less useful for producing the data.

lcuk: we have extensive conversation logs from the IRC channels around which might be useful?

timeless: to some extent you're going to want to filter against a spelling dictionary to avoid typos. Some additional magic should be applied to learn proper nouns. This is all doable, I even have scripts or beginnings of scripts for some of it.

lcuk: clearly for generic training default documents, using text and books from the most general field possible would be useful. perhaps using a subset of wikipedia for instance?
however for truly personal language balance it would be folly to ignore my own past words, and I have an extensive irc history ready for my own use. with statistical filtering as described already it would offer completion of words I use most :)
other datasources may also be available?

== IRC logs ==

=== 2010-11-22 ===

22:04 < sivang> lcuk: interesting idea, why not just use a dictionary and speed search through it while typing, only instead of showing remaining possible words, dim the letters that no longer take part

IMHO this would be already a good start instead of trying to do markov chains and more sophisticated stuff upfront. Also, in Maemo there is already support for that but that completes the words which is annoying. Applying this to the keyboard keys highlighted could perhaps be better.

=== 2010-11-20 ===

* <marnanel> lcuk: so someone at the conference said (not in these terms) that what we need is to take n-grams of English text and produce Markov chains such that after n-1 letters entered on the osk, the three or so most likely following letters became *slightly* larger
* <lcuk> yes marnanel
* <marnanel> lcuk: so I wondered whether you know whether anyone else was working on it
* <marnanel> lcuk: otherwise I might.
* <thiago_home> marnanel: they don't have to be larger. Just their hit areas.
* <marnanel> thiago_home: true
* <lcuk> marnanel, I remarked that to slightly dim the other non useful characters would be a good visual indicator
* <marnanel> lcuk: oh yeah, I remember you saying that
* <marnanel> lcuk: I could probably fix up UI stuff to do that. but atm I am thinking about the back-end implementation
* <marnanel> I think this could be a thing of great niftiness
* <lcuk> i heard the keymats for the vkb are a big ass svg file
* ...
* <lcuk> anyway, not sure if those keymats can have birightness modified on the fly or if the hitzones can be effected
* <lcuk> and I am not sure how I would proceed using qml
* <lcuk> whether you can have an element but have its hit area larger without intefering
* <marnanel> I don't know either.
* <lcuk> making a new transparant layer ontop with bigger hitzones would suffice
* marnanel nods
* lcuk hmms
* <lcuk> i am wondering how I would implement it by thinking about the liqbase keyboard
* <lcuk> marnanel, how many potential keys would we need to show larger
* <marnanel> lcuk: I am thinking three-ish. more than that would defeat the point
* <lcuk> marnanel, reasonable
* <lcuk> so holding a group of transparent redefinable (and relocatable) widgets sitting ontop of the keyboard which would offer larger hitzone for the press would work?
* <marnanel> I believe so, yes
* <marnanel> lcuk: so if I wrote a library where you gave it zero to three letters and it returned a string of three characters which were likely to follow, that would be a start
* <marnanel> plus the database
* <lcuk> marnanel, one thing about keyboards - using circular distance algorythms from the centre of each letter
* <lcuk> rather than a rectangle hitzone
* <lcuk> would be nicer potentially
* <lcuk> marnanel, so the library would accept a string
* <lcuk> which is the text leading upto the cursor current position
* <marnanel> lcuk: circular> yes, we just use pythagoras with respect to each letter and find the shortest maybe, with weighting for the more likely letters
* <marnanel> lcuk: yes
* <lcuk> marnanel, lets talk again on monday after getting some thoughts sunk in
* <marnanel> lcuk: yeah, good plan
* <marnanel> lcuk: I'll hack around with ngrams a bit maybe
* <lcuk> do you want to perhaps copy paste this convo into the wiki
* <marnanel> lcuk: the meego wiki? sure
* <lcuk> and then we can flesh it out and do some bits with it

Build Infrastructure

2010-11-20T12:46:02Z

Sivan: /* Community Build System */

== MeeGo Build Infrastructure ==

The heart of the Build Infrastructure of MeeGo is the upstream project [http://wiki.opensuse.org/Portal:Build_Service openSUSE Build Service (OBS)]. It is an automated system used for building software packages, collaboration of developers, release management, maintenance, and much more. Moblin started using OBS in June 2008 and released Moblin 2.0 and Moblin 2.1, as well as other derivative releases. OBS has proven to be a very reliable infrastructure that is quickly evolving. It is rich with features for distribution building and maintenance. The Linux Foundation is dedicated to the further development of OBS and has a team, including two full-time OBS maintainers, contributing to its development and its use by MeeGo and the Ecosystem.

MeeGo currently uses version 2.0.x of OBS and will soon switch to version 2.1. To learn more about version 2.1 and the additional features in it, see the upstream project details: [http://wiki.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_Roadmap roadmap].

There are 3 OBS instances that are relevant to MeeGo
* MeeGo core : essentially, if you're a core package maintainer/developer you get an account here
* MeeGo community : for anyone to build applications or libraries against MeeGo - anyone with a meego.com account can use this
* openSuse : this is not for building *against* MeeGo... but we need to support MeeGo tools on many platforms and some of those get built on the openSuse OBS

=== Overview - What does it do? ===
Let's set out some basics about the OBS.

# It's a build system. You put source on it and say "use this repository" and it builds a minimal SDK-like chroot using the deb/rpms it finds in that repository
# It has packages - a package corresponds to a tarball and a spec/dsc
# It has projects - a project is like a directory with packages
# When a package is built it is "published" from the project where it was uploaded into a corresponding repository (which can be used to build other projects)
# The repositories can also be used by devices to download binary packages.

[[File:Splash-community.png|right|300px]]
=== [[Build_Infrastructure/Community_Builder|Community Build System]] ===
The [[Build_Infrastructure/Community_Builder|Community OBS]] is now part of meego.com infrastructure and supports several important kinds of development:

* Applications to run on MeeGo
* Surrounds: the MeeGo contribution and sharing area.(This is the repository with dependencies to support Applications to run on MeeGo, think debian contrib, or ubuntu universe)
* Team Repositories
* Personal Repositories

Having these areas allow us to support:
* Extras : MeeGo's community App store complete with QA via Extras:Testing
* Managing packages as part of their acceptance into MeeGo core
* Deprecating packages from MeeGo core
* A high quality distribution built around MeeGo core

MeeGo Conference 2010/Unconference

2010-11-11T13:03:29Z

Sivan: /* I would like to see someone talk about ... */

Day 3 of the [http://conference2010.meego.com MeeGo Conference] will be primarily an unconference run in the BarCamp style. We will also have one room with scheduled activities running in parallel to the unconference for Birds of a Feather sessions, lightning talks and similar activities.

== What is an Unconference and Why should I attend? ==

We've been getting a lot of questions about the unconference day from people who aren't convinced that it is worth their time to attend. [[User:Dawnfoster|I (Dawn)]] have attended many unconferences and organized several of them, and I can honestly say that I usually get as much, if not more, out of them than I do from traditional conferences.

=== Brief Description ===

An unconference is an ad-hoc gathering organized by the attendees for the attendees. The concept originated out of a desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from participants. You never quite know what to expect at an unconference, since each one is shaped by the attendees. When you arrive on Wednesday morning, there will be an agenda framework (times / rooms), but the content for the sessions will be decided by the participants.

=== Why should I attend ===

'''To Present and Lead'''
* Anyone can present or lead a discussion, so you can talk about any topic of interest to you.
* If you submitted a session, and it wasn't approved for the main conference, but you still think it would be interesting, you can present it here.
* We will have plenty of smaller rooms for niche topics of interest to a few people - those rarely fit into a conference format, but work nicely in one of our smaller unconference rooms.
* It's a great opportunity to follow up on a topic presented in the first days and have a more detailed discussion.

'''To Collaborate and Network'''
* Use the time to collaborate with people on an interesting MeeGo project.
* Great opportunity to talk to experts about subjects not covered in the first two days.
* Network and meet other people interested in our work
* Learn more about what others need and get feedback on new ways to use MeeGo
* Collaborate on actual work related to MeeGo in smaller groups
* Have group discussions or meetings

'''To Learn and Innovate'''
* It is a great way to spot new talents, new movements, tendencies and upcoming technologies that weren't mature enough for the main conference.
* An unconference is basically like the conference, but with subjects chosen by the audience (by interest), which means there's a high chance of finding interesting topics.
* We have a community of interesting smart people, so we should expect plenty of interesting sessions.
* The flexible format allows for interesting out of the box ideas and ways to accommodate different formats.
* You are encouraged to use the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Two_Feet#Law_of_Two_Feet Law of Two Feet] - if you go to a session and it isn't what you had hoped, you are encouraged to get up and move to another session.
* Come home with a fresh set of cutting-edge ideas and inspiration at the front of innovation within MeeGo.

=== More information ===
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XlqEDIJzfw What is BarCamp? video] - short and worth your time to watch.
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcamp BarCamp Wikipedia entry] with some history and other information.

== Session Ideas ==

'''IMPORTANT: Adding a session to the list below does not reserve a spot on the schedule board on Wednesday. The only way to guarantee a schedule slot is by showing up early and putting your session on the grid in person. See the [[#Schedule]] section below for more details.'''

=== Tips for Presenters ===

* Discussion formats work slightly better than standard conference presentations. Leading a group of people in a discussion is much more interactive and gives people a nice break from the past 2 days of presentations.
* Prepare in advance - if you plan to lead a session, prepare as you would for any other conference.
* Have a topic that isn't 45 minutes of material? Team up with one or more people with related topics and share the session.
* Respect people's time and do not allow your session to run longer than scheduled. Other people will be waiting to get into the room to set up for the next session.

=== I plan to present ... ===

Leave a note with the topic you plan to present along with your name and a link to more information about yourself.

== Schedule ==

=== Schedule Grid and Process for Scheduling Sessions ===

We will have a big grid on the wall where people can post their session ideas on the morning of the event (no sessions reserved in advance). Make sure you arrive on time if you plan to lead a session!

'''To Schedule a Session''':
* The schedule board will open up after the welcome is completed.
* Write your topic in big letters on your post it note.
* Include your contact information in smaller letters (name and cell phone or email address)
* Put your post it note on the board picking a room and time that looks good to you.
* Make sure that big meaty topics are in large rooms with niche topics in small rooms.

'''Things to keep in mind''':
* The schedule board is dynamic and may change at any time during the day.
* The schedule board on the wall is always the master.
* We may need to move sessions, so make sure you double check the board to make sure that you are going to the right room / time for the session you want to attend.
* Sessions that seem very similar may be asked to combine.
* We reserve the right to move things around to make sure that popular topics have large rooms.

=== Day Schedule and Grid Format ===

This is an example of how the grid will look and is for planning purposes only - '''please do not enter sessions or add other information to the grid'''

Note: The BOF / Scheduled session room is out of scope of the unconference team and will be decided and planned by the content committee.

== Requirements ==

* Rooms set up - confirm that we do plan to use all of the rooms on the schedule board & we need to know which rooms have projectors.
* A bunch of 4x6" post it notes
* A schedule board pre-printed with times and rooms with spaces large enough to accommodate 4x6" post it notes (alternative is painter's tape & a wall)
* Sharpie pens

== Organizing Team ==

* Lead: [[User:Dawnfoster|Dawn Foster]]
* Notes / wiki organizer - put a process in place to allow people to take notes and maintain a copy (physical board is the master) of the schedule in the wiki.
* Schedule volunteers - 2 people (2 shifts - each working half the day) to help manage the schedule board, help people get things scheduled, update schedule changes in the wiki copy, etc.
* Note taking volunteers - each session needs one or more people to take notes and put them in the wiki

Qt across (Maemo-)MeeGo & Symbian

2010-11-09T15:01:35Z

Sivan: /* Resources */

== Background ==

The introduction of the Nokia Qt SDK enables great ideas to become reality, in a cross platform way. "Code once, deploy everywhere" is not just a slogan for latest Qt releases, and the recent additions of API stacks like Mobility, QMF and sensors stretches what you can do by purely using the Qt framework. This allows great exploitation of the underlying platform while maintaining straight forward API usage and relatively relaxed learning curve.

This latest additions have been exemplified mostly on Nokian mobile Linux computer platforms. I would like to be able to offer Symbian developers the same great building blocks to build great software using pure Qt just as it is slowly being realized on the N900/Maemo/MeeGo.

I think this is very important in order to keep the Symbian offering live and up to date, and not fall behind the Mobile Linux computers application development offering. I feel this is important in order to revive the Symbian experience, as historically developing for the platform required specific lowlevel platform knowledge and usage of somewhat exotic development, signing and deployment paradigms that are even to date, considered by Symbian developers hard and unpleasant.

I would like to change this and make Symbian development fun, educational and rewarding through the latest Qt offerings, removing as much as possible the historic barriers. Nokia's latest changes to the signing and individual app publishing are great steps towards that, as an example.

== Breakdown to milestones ==

To make the MeeGO-Symbian cross application development experience complete I would like to pursue:

* Blogging about new features that allow to code once deploy everywhere. Code snippets that exemplify and emphasis cross platform-ness.
* Be in constant touch with developer community to see what they liked to be taken from N8 to N900 and vice versa ( == S^3 <-> MeeGo)
* Create guides and tutorials / blog posts about how to port an app that uses feature or api X in either platforms to the other if use of api X feature requires porting work.
* blog and write about porting success stories between the platforms; reach out for companies we know target N8/S3 as well as N900/MeeGo through OVI and ask for their experience. We should be able to learn from their experience, publish it with their consent for good of community and identify where we're great and where not with our support of them.
* List the features/ api calls that do not need any modifications to be ported, to encourage early consideration of cross Symbian/MeeGo code.
* Be up to question about porting through a mailing list, an irc channel and a Forum Nokia discussion board and forums.meego.com section.
* Try to tackle the GUI open-ended problem in places where mobility is not giving the answer; Either by documentation or recipes and bug fixes where applicable and up to my (and interested community members) skills.
* Covering the progress of Qt components that are slowly getting backends both for Symbian and MeeGo, blog/ announce when they are ready and provide recipies to show them off when backends are available for
both platforms. Posting vidoes.
* __Very__ distant goal- writing a book about cross platform development for MeeGo and S3 maybe similar to [0]: but with more emphasis on full real world applications (-recipes). The hope is that developers and companies could reuse recipes close to verbatim in their apps.

That might look too ambitious at first glance, but it is planned for over a period of time, the more proximate stuff are the first action items naturally.

== Ongoing Work and Contacts ==

As some efforts and already ongoing for Qt across Symbian and MeeGo, it is useful to know who does what and the fields he can help with already, through the work he's done so far.

If you are interested in contributing to one of the items listed here, please contact the person coordinating it and start a discussion on the porting mailing list.

== Current general issues with the Symbian-MeeGo story ==

Thanks for Ville for pointing this status:

We have 2 Symbian - MeeGo portability stories

* QWidget
* QML + Qt Components

(as far as the GUIs go - backend functionality is an open-ended problem,
with a lot of it attacked by Qt Mobility).

Unfortunately QWidget stuff is not mature yet for MeeGo, so you can't do
a useful analysis of the portability aspects.

As for Qt Components, Symbian backends don't exist yet. and for MeeGo
it's a work very much in progress as well.

== Maemo to MeeGo portability stories ==

And actually, we have a quite large Maemo -> MeeG portability story, which seems to still require a lot of work, and most of the current apps on Maemo are gtk+ based. So to offer a complete UX on the (Nokia?) arm handset this must be take in account:

* To possibly avoid complete Qt rewrite of legacy Maemo application we want to support on MeeGo, it would be nice to have something along the lines of - http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=129715. This is a gtk+ plugin that allows rendering of Gtk apps with the current Qt theme.

== Collecting Porting Experience ==

Please use this table to note any current issues you are facing trying to make your application cross platform (MeeGo <-> Symbian).

Please provide the git/svn/bzr/$YOUR VCS clone-able/branchable link so I can easily check out the code and see the build issues and try to run it on my devices to experience your pain. I am interested in creating "porting bugs" so of your issue triggers a bug in the underlying framework I will try best to report it as so.

If you already identified it as not your code's fault, and opened a bug about it, please include the links to the bug reports in the "VCS link" column as well.

If the issue was already solved, please include a link to a solution writeup you could do on the wiki for the benefit of others who face the same issue you did.

DRAFT

=== Hands On: Setting up your workshop ===

You'll need:
* An OBS account on either build.meego.com or cbuild.meego.com (use your meego.com login) or on your own OBS with MeeGo release(s) imported.
* These tools installed on your development machine:
** Spectacle, autospectacle (on gitorious)
** MIC2
** osc
** Standard development tools (git, wget, svn, make, diff, patch, rsync, ssh, dd, gdb)
** A graphical web browser (Firefox, Chrome, etc..)

You might need:
* For local OBS builds, something supporting SSSE3 instructions (this applies for ARM builds too)
* qemu-arm installed, vdso=0

.. tools to grab images/releases?
.. zypper instructions
.. proxy instructions, NAT wlan

=== Theory: Stuff which will make life easier, engage, and profit properly understood ===

* Background of the user-space and middle ware stack:
** The context of the current middle ware discussed.
** What's beneath it (another layer, the bare metal?), What's on top of it?
** Nature of inter-relationships: How does it communicate with other components if at all? How does it communicate with hardware?

* Breakdown to subsystems:
** Each component have a section with links or content to:
*** Read about the architecture.
*** Libraries and binaries it uses,
*** Current important bugs for triage and fixing, tagged with difficulty level.
*** Find out where offline development discussions happen.
*** Learn about low hanging fruits; not just bug fixing and feature implementation!
* Background for the UI parts and perhaps follow the same breakdown as for (2) ??
* Each component resulting in a binary should have links to the proper documentation for it, or a mention where docs are in the RPM packages itself.

=== IRC dumps of what could become part of documentation, even if somewhat explained in other places ===

<pre>

11:57 < timoph> I'm using repo.meego.com to get the tools
11:57 < timoph> deb http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/tools/repos/ubuntu/10.04/ /
11:57 < timoph> in sources.list
11:58 * sivang adds
11:58 < timoph> the install osc osc-meego-plugins build
11:58 < timoph> s/the/then/
11:59 < timoph> (might need something else too)
12:00 < timoph> after installing osc do 'osc -A http://api.cbuild.meego.com ls' and add your credentials
12:01 < timoph> and edit ~/.oscrc (change su-wrapper to use sudo)
12:01 < sivang> where's the key for apt?
12:01 < sivang> it complains about unauthenticated sources
12:01 < timoph> http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/tools/repos/ubuntu/10.04/Release.key
12:01 < sivang> thanks
12:03 < sivang> timoph: key imported
12:03 < sivang> E: Couldn't find package osc-meego-plugins
12:03 -!- asinnela [~arsinnel@gw2.digia.com] has joined #meego-qa-tools
12:03 < timoph> you can also 'sudo visudo' and append '[your username] ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/build'
12:04 < timoph> hmmh. did you do run apt-get update ?
12:04 < sivang> I did, I'll rerun
12:05 < timoph> you can live without the meego-plugins if they're not available
12:05 < timoph> ahh. sorry
12:05 < timoph> it's 'meego-osc-plugins'
12:07 < timoph> have you created your home project?
12:07 -!- petrik [~chatzilla@nat/nokia/x-slqkpgymlbhyqzfn] has joined #meego-qa-tools
12:08 < timoph> after you have created your home project you can checkout it and start creating packages
12:09 < timoph> osc co home:[username]
12:09 < timoph> you'll need to add files to the project before building them e.g. 'osc add some.spec'
12:09 -!- dneary [~dneary@ALyon-152-1-57-212.w86-193.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #meego-qa-tools
12:09 -!- dneary [~dneary@ALyon-152-1-57-212.w86-193.abo.wanadoo.fr] has quit [Changing host]
12:09 -!- dneary [~dneary@Maemo/community/docmaster/dneary] has joined #meego-qa-tools
12:10 < timoph> to build locally do 'osc build --no-verify'
12:10 < timoph> easiest way to get started is to take some existing package and play with it
12:11 < timoph> you can copy packages from other user's projects to your home by 'osc copypac home:someuser package
home:yourusername'
12:12 < sivang> timoph: okay, pluging installed. Now that ':' notation, this is what you refer to all the time with
Trunk:Tools etc?
12:12 < sivang> timoph: what's a home project in that regard?
12:13 < timoph> your own home project
12:13 < timoph> in obs
12:13 < sivang> so my sandbox in obs?
12:13 < timoph> yep
12:13 < sivang> nice, where I can play and break things? and I can link people to my home to install stuff from there?
12:13 < timoph> easiest way to create it is through the www interface
12:13 < sivang> either through apt/yum?
12:14 < timoph> yep. it creates repositories for your packages automagically
12:14 < sivang> oh nice!
12:15 < sivang> but currently the cbuild only supports srpms, according to lbt
12:15 < lbt> rpms
12:15 < sivang> rpms, yes
12:15 * sivang sets up a home project
12:15 < timoph> :)
12:15 < sivang> timoph: do I need a git repo for that , or does obs handles that as well?
12:16 < timoph> no
12:16 < sivang> that is, acts as a source repo?
12:16 < sivang> ah
12:16 < sivang> so I can have it "watch" an upstrea?
12:16 < timoph> obs eats spec/dsc files and tar balls
12:16 < lbt> yes, but the meego community OBS has no debian repo target
12:16 < timoph> ah
12:16 < lbt> for that you should use suse OBS if possible
12:17 < timoph> good to know
12:17 < sivang> lbt: what timoph just helped me do will most probably find its way to the guide you asked if I could put
online
12:17 < lbt> eg https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor?project=Maemo%3AMeeGo-Infra
12:17 < sivang> lbt: it is mostly similar to the Mer one, I need to see if the tweakes you had in the Mer document apply here
12:17 < sivang> lbt: e.g. http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer/Build/Install_OBS#Handle_OBS_using_.27:.27_in_filenames
12:17 < sivang> for example
12:18 < lbt> yeah... that's a beauty :)
12:18 -!- sievi [~kasievi@gw.digia.com] has left #meego-qa-tools []
12:18 < timoph> sivang: no as in you need version control for your source code :)
12:19 < timoph> anyway. I need to go..
12:19 < timoph> -->
12:19 < sivang> timoph: thank you!
12:23 < sivang> lbt: so for community .deb apps, a'la maemo-extras, we use suse OBS at build.opensuse.org , and only for
core both .debs and .rpms we use build.meego.com ?
12:23 < lbt> for now
12:24 < sivang> sure, just need to get an understanding for the hacking guide's sake
12:24 < lbt> mmm sec
12:24 < lbt> http://wiki.meego.com/Build_Infrastructure first para
12:31 < sivang> lbt: right, there's tons of stuff there
12:31 < sivang> this seems be mostly catering for the mer page-
http://wiki.meego.com/Build_Infrastructure/Packagers_Developers/CLI_Part_1

Quality Assurance Team

2010-10-25T14:29:08Z

Sivan: /* Contributors */

The MeeGo Quality assurance is one of the pieces in MeeGo Development Structure (see http://meego.com/sites/all/files/MeeGoDevStructureTSG_May5.pdf)

Today there is no procedure defined but we can improvise with some common sense.

=== Mission ===

Learning from the former labor at Maemo the QA team will actively conduct testing and simulations. The QA team will stimulate community participation in testing and quality efforts to make sure MeeGo is as usable and polished as competitor's smartphone OSs, or better.

=== Structure ===

==== Areas ====

The main areas within the scope of the working group are (in no particular order):

* '''Specifications''' : Identify new needed features or features that arise from user stories or bug reports and make a spec out of them.
* '''Documentation''' : Develop release notes documentation and workaround HOWTOs until a specific issue is solved.
* '''Testing Control Groups''': Organize control groups with members of the community for integrational testing (e.g. above unit level) of new major features or drastic UI or human-machine interface changes.
* '''Ongoing Testing''' : Through well defined test plans, do integrational/functional testing with each new feature, bug fix or a release (minor and major)
* '''Reduce load on bug-squads''': Bug trackers and bug squads should be the last resort. Proper *active* testing will make their work easier and lighter in load.
* '''Head to head spec extraction''': Doing detailed comparisons with other OSs to identify soft spots and spec out how to improve/fix them.

[Rudely added by V-PV - Feel free to remove/edit/include to original]

How about areas like (not in particular order either):

* Testing definition: Containing testing levels and testing types
* Test specifications: Defining how to document and store
* Performance (and other non-functional parameters) targets and quality of the "Requirements"
* Intented quality of the MeeGo releases
* Testing approach for MeeGo distributions
* Test planning, what is planned to be done and what is ongoing
* Test run (test results) repository
* Quality guidelines for developers: What should be done in Projects
* Compliancy testing of eg. applications

==== Rational ====

I have drafted what I envision as the desired procedures, building on the experience I gained through Ubuntu.

While bug squads are important and vital part of the development process, I think that centrally lead, milestone oriented QA team is the only way to get to the polish other smartphone OSs on the market display.

I propose to lead the efforts, do the wiki gardening and user story conversion to bug reports and specifications, and to recruit prospective community members that want in the game as a non-development, no prerequisite contribution entry point.

=== Process ===

==== Meetings ====

Please expand.

==== Tasks ====

'''Started tasks'''
* Have a subdomain '''qa/quality.meego.com''' -- the name will be qa.meego.com and request has been posted to IT.
** Reasoning for having qa/quality.meego.com subdomain: Open source software doesn't test itself. MeeGo relies on the testing efforts of community members to help find bugs and verify products. Not everyone may be cut out to hack on MeeGo's codebase, but anyone who can use a web browser and has a supported hardware can help us test it. In order to do that one needs to have collaboration space having test cases for contribution, test runs for participation and test results for viewing. In addition one could also have possibility to dip her or his toes into development with QA tools and test automation with QA core team.
* Define [[Quality/TestabilityChecklist|Testability Checklist]] for ensuring requirement quality - Please, contribute by commenting.
* Define [[Quality/TestDesignProcessAndGuideline|Test Design Process and Guideline]] - Please, contribute by commenting.

'''Suggested tasks'''
* Have a mailing list (or channel in discussion forum or decision for having certain tag (e.g. [QA]) in the beginning of the title.)
* Have a irc-channel
* I propose we start by getting a thorough specification of what functionality each currently available component (=package?) provides, and then create unit test plans to test cover it with every iteration of the release (minor/alpha/beta/RC/final).
* I then propose that we move on to integration test plan authoring, meaning to cover test cases of component X that is supposed to integrate with with component Y and Z and write test plans that verify the integration is working as expected. That of course would require us to first survey and specify what higher level functionality each integration combination yields.
* Define Testing approach for Release Creation (moment of involvements) and related quality targets
* Define Quality Guidelines for Projects / Application developers
* QA Process (Test Design, Test Asset management, Test Execution and reporting)
* How community members can efficiently contribute to bug triaging while following our processes?

'''Completed tasks'''
* Modify Quality Assurance wiki from Working Group format to Team area format (see http://forum.meego.com/showpost.php?p=3088&postcount=3)
* Have a role description for Test Collection Maintainer (a.k.a test suite maintainer) (see http://wiki.meego.com/Quality_Assurance_Glossary_QA_Glossary)
* Agree the "acronym" used for Quality assurance (used for domain, mailing list, irc, etc.)
** qa and quality were the names suggested
** according "votes" given in email tread qa is the choice.
* Define test plan template (see http://wiki.meego.com/TestPlanTemplate)
* Define test report template (see http://wiki.meego.com/TestReportTemplateCollection)

* Define [[Quality/TestDesignProcessAndGuideline|Test Design Process and Guideline]] - Please, contribute by commenting.

'''Suggested tasks'''
* Have a mailing list (or channel in discussion forum or decision for having certain tag (e.g. [QA]) in the beginning of the title.)
* Have a irc-channel
* I propose we start by getting a thorough specification of what functionality each currently available component (=package?) provides, and then create unit test plans to test cover it with every iteration of the release (minor/alpha/beta/RC/final).
* I then propose that we move on to integration test plan authoring, meaning to cover test cases of component X that is supposed to integrate with with component Y and Z and write test plans that verify the integration is working as expected. That of course would require us to first survey and specify what higher level functionality each integration combination yields.
* Define Testing approach for Release Creation (moment of involvements) and related quality targets
* Define Quality Guidelines for Projects / Application developers
* QA Process (Test Design, Test Asset management, Test Execution and reporting)
* How community members can efficiently contribute to bug triaging while following our processes?

'''Completed tasks'''
* Modify Quality Assurance wiki from Working Group format to Team area format (see http://forum.meego.com/showpost.php?p=3088&postcount=3)
* Have a role description for Test Collection Maintainer (a.k.a test suite maintainer) (see http://wiki.meego.com/Quality_Assurance_Glossary_QA_Glossary)
* Agree the "acronym" used for Quality assurance (used for domain, mailing list, irc, etc.)
** qa and quality were the names suggested
** according "votes" given in email tread qa is the choice.
* Define test plan template (see http://wiki.meego.com/TestPlanTemplate)
* Define test report template (see http://wiki.meego.com/TestReportTemplateCollection)

Qt across MeeGo & Symbian

2010-10-23T18:09:40Z

Sivan: moved Qt across MeeGo & Symbian to Qt across (Maemo-)MeeGo & Symbian: We actually have to look quite extensively at Maemo legacy apps as they are still forming most of the app offering on Nokia's linux handset platform.

#REDIRECT [[Qt across (Maemo-)MeeGo & Symbian]]

Qt across (Maemo-)MeeGo & Symbian

2010-10-23T18:09:40Z

== Background ==

The introduction of the Nokia Qt SDK enables great ideas to become reality, in a cross platform way. "Code once, deploy everywhere" is not just a slogan for latest Qt releases, and the recent additions of API stacks like Mobility, QMF and sensors stretches what you can do by purely using the Qt framework. This allows great exploitation of the underlying platform while maintaining straight forward API usage and relatively relaxed learning curve.

This latest additions have been exemplified mostly on Nokian mobile Linux computer platforms. I would like to be able to offer Symbian developers the same great building blocks to build great software using pure Qt just as it is slowly being realized on the N900/Maemo/MeeGo.

I think this is very important in order to keep the Symbian offering live and up to date, and not fall behind the Mobile Linux computers application development offering. I feel this is important in order to revive the Symbian experience, as historically developing for the platform required specific lowlevel platform knowledge and usage of somewhat exotic development, signing and deployment paradigms that are even to date, considered by Symbian developers hard and unpleasant.

I would like to change this and make Symbian development fun, educational and rewarding through the latest Qt offerings, removing as much as possible the historic barriers. Nokia's latest changes to the signing and individual app publishing are great steps towards that, as an example.

== Breakdown to milestones ==

To make the MeeGO-Symbian cross application development experience complete I would like to pursue:

* Blogging about new features that allow to code once deploy everywhere. Code snippets that exemplify and emphasis cross platform-ness.
* Be in constant touch with developer community to see what they liked to be taken from N8 to N900 and vice versa ( == S^3 <-> MeeGo)
* Create guides and tutorials / blog posts about how to port an app that uses feature or api X in either platforms to the other if use of api X feature requires porting work.
* blog and write about porting success stories between the platforms; reach out for companies we know target N8/S3 as well as N900/MeeGo through OVI and ask for their experience. We should be able to learn from their experience, publish it with their consent for good of community and identify where we're great and where not with our support of them.
* List the features/ api calls that do not need any modifications to be ported, to encourage early consideration of cross Symbian/MeeGo code.
* Be up to question about porting through a mailing list, an irc channel and a Forum Nokia discussion board and forums.meego.com section.
* Try to tackle the GUI open-ended problem in places where mobility is not giving the answer; Either by documentation or recipes and bug fixes where applicable and up to my (and interested community members) skills.
* Covering the progress of Qt components that are slowly getting backends both for Symbian and MeeGo, blog/ announce when they are ready and provide recipies to show them off when backends are available for
both platforms. Posting vidoes.
* __Very__ distant goal- writing a book about cross platform development for MeeGo and S3 maybe similar to [0]: but with more emphasis on full real world applications (-recipes). The hope is that developers and companies could reuse recipes close to verbatim in their apps.

That might look too ambitious at first glance, but it is planned for over a period of time, the more proximate stuff are the first action items naturally.

== Current general issues with the Symbian-MeeGo story ==

Thanks for Ville for pointing this status:

We have 2 Symbian - MeeGo portability stories

* QWidget
* QML + Qt Components

(as far as the GUIs go - backend functionality is an open-ended problem,
with a lot of it attacked by Qt Mobility).

Unfortunately QWidget stuff is not mature yet for MeeGo, so you can't do
a useful analysis of the portability aspects.

As for Qt Components, Symbian backends don't exist yet. and for MeeGo
it's a work very much in progress as well.

== Maemo to MeeGo portability stories ==

And actually, we have a quite large Maemo -> MeeG portability story, which seems to still require a lot of work, and most of the current apps on Maemo are gtk+ based. So to offer a complete UX on the (Nokia?) arm handset this must be take in account:

* To possibly avoid complete Qt rewrite of legacy Maemo application we want to support on MeeGo, it would be nice to have something along the lines of - http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=129715. This is a gtk+ plugin that allows rendering of Gtk apps with the current Qt theme.

== Collecting Porting Experience ==

Please use this table to note any current issues you are facing trying to make your application cross platform (MeeGo <-> Symbian).

Please provide the git/svn/bzr/$YOUR VCS clone-able/branchable link so I can easily check out the code and see the build issues and try to run it on my devices to experience your pain. I am interested in creating "porting bugs" so of your issue triggers a bug in the underlying framework I will try best to report it as so.

If you already identified it as not your code's fault, and opened a bug about it, please include the links to the bug reports in the "VCS link" column as well.

If the issue was already solved, please include a link to a solution writeup you could do on the wiki for the benefit of others who face the same issue you did.

Qt across (Maemo-)MeeGo & Symbian

2010-10-10T13:25:34Z

Sivan: /* Current general issues with the Symbian-MeeGo story */

== Background ==

The introduction of the Nokia Qt SDK enables great ideas to become reality, in a cross platform way. "Code once, deploy everywhere" is not just a slogan for latest Qt releases, and the recent additions of API stacks like Mobility, QMF and sensors stretches what you can do by purely using the Qt framework. This allows great exploitation of the underlying platform while maintaining straight forward API usage and relatively relaxed learning curve.

This latest additions have been exemplified mostly on Nokian mobile Linux computer platforms. I would like to be able to offer Symbian developers the same great building blocks to build great software using pure Qt just as it is slowly being realized on the N900/Maemo/MeeGo.

I think this is very important in order to keep the Symbian offering live and up to date, and not fall behind the Mobile Linux computers application development offering. I feel this is important in order to revive the Symbian experience, as historically developing for the platform required specific lowlevel platform knowledge and usage of somewhat exotic development, signing and deployment paradigms that are even to date, considered by Symbian developers hard and unpleasant.

I would like to change this and make Symbian development fun, educational and rewarding through the latest Qt offerings, removing as much as possible the historic barriers. Nokia's latest changes to the signing and individual app publishing are great steps towards that, as an example.

== Breakdown to milestones ==

To make the MeeGO-Symbian cross application development experience complete I would like to pursue:

* Blogging about new features that allow to code once deploy everywhere. Code snippets that exemplify and emphasis cross platform-ness.
* Be in constant touch with developer community to see what they liked to be taken from N8 to N900 and vice versa ( == S^3 <-> MeeGo)
* Create guides and tutorials / blog posts about how to port an app that uses feature or api X in either platforms to the other if use of api X feature requires porting work.
* blog and write about porting success stories between the platforms; reach out for companies we know target N8/S3 as well as N900/MeeGo through OVI and ask for their experience. We should be able to learn from their experience, publish it with their consent for good of community and identify where we're great and where not with our support of them.
* List the features/ api calls that do not need any modifications to be ported, to encourage early consideration of cross Symbian/MeeGo code.
* Be up to question about porting through a mailing list, an irc channel and a Forum Nokia discussion board and forums.meego.com section.
* Try to tackle the GUI open-ended problem in places where mobility is not giving the answer; Either by documentation or recipes and bug fixes where applicable and up to my (and interested community members) skills.
* Covering the progress of Qt components that are slowly getting backends both for Symbian and MeeGo, blog/ announce when they are ready and provide recipies to show them off when backends are available for
both platforms. Posting vidoes.
* __Very__ distant goal- writing a book about cross platform development for MeeGo and S3 maybe similar to [0]: but with more emphasis on full real world applications (-recipes). The hope is that developers and companies could reuse recipes close to verbatim in their apps.

That might look too ambitious at first glance, but it is planned for over a period of time, the more proximate stuff are the first action items naturally.

Unfortunately QWidget stuff is not mature yet for MeeGo, so you can't do

Qt across (Maemo-)MeeGo & Symbian

2010-10-10T13:22:32Z

Sivan: /* Current general issues with the Symbian-MeeGo story */

== Background ==

The introduction of the Nokia Qt SDK enables great ideas to become reality, in a cross platform way. "Code once, deploy everywhere" is not just a slogan for latest Qt releases, and the recent additions of API stacks like Mobility, QMF and sensors stretches what you can do by purely using the Qt framework. This allows great exploitation of the underlying platform while maintaining straight forward API usage and relatively relaxed learning curve.

This latest additions have been exemplified mostly on Nokian mobile Linux computer platforms. I would like to be able to offer Symbian developers the same great building blocks to build great software using pure Qt just as it is slowly being realized on the N900/Maemo/MeeGo.

I think this is very important in order to keep the Symbian offering live and up to date, and not fall behind the Mobile Linux computers application development offering. I feel this is important in order to revive the Symbian experience, as historically developing for the platform required specific lowlevel platform knowledge and usage of somewhat exotic development, signing and deployment paradigms that are even to date, considered by Symbian developers hard and unpleasant.

I would like to change this and make Symbian development fun, educational and rewarding through the latest Qt offerings, removing as much as possible the historic barriers. Nokia's latest changes to the signing and individual app publishing are great steps towards that, as an example.

== Breakdown to milestones ==

To make the MeeGO-Symbian cross application development experience complete I would like to pursue:

* Blogging about new features that allow to code once deploy everywhere. Code snippets that exemplify and emphasis cross platform-ness.
* Be in constant touch with developer community to see what they liked to be taken from N8 to N900 and vice versa ( == S^3 <-> MeeGo)
* Create guides and tutorials / blog posts about how to port an app that uses feature or api X in either platforms to the other if use of api X feature requires porting work.
* blog and write about porting success stories between the platforms; reach out for companies we know target N8/S3 as well as N900/MeeGo through OVI and ask for their experience. We should be able to learn from their experience, publish it with their consent for good of community and identify where we're great and where not with our support of them.
* List the features/ api calls that do not need any modifications to be ported, to encourage early consideration of cross Symbian/MeeGo code.
* Be up to question about porting through a mailing list, an irc channel and a Forum Nokia discussion board and forums.meego.com section.
* Try to tackle the GUI open-ended problem in places where mobility is not giving the answer; Either by documentation or recipes and bug fixes where applicable and up to my (and interested community members) skills.
* Covering the progress of Qt components that are slowly getting backends both for Symbian and MeeGo, blog/ announce when they are ready and provide recipies to show them off when backends are available for
both platforms. Posting vidoes.
* __Very__ distant goal- writing a book about cross platform development for MeeGo and S3 maybe similar to [0]: but with more emphasis on full real world applications (-recipes). The hope is that developers and companies could reuse recipes close to verbatim in their apps.

That might look too ambitious at first glance, but it is planned for over a period of time, the more proximate stuff are the first action items naturally.

Qt across (Maemo-)MeeGo & Symbian

2010-10-09T11:09:14Z

Sivan: /* Current issues with the Symbian-MeeGo story */

== Background ==

The introduction of the Nokia Qt SDK enables great ideas to become reality, in a cross platform way. "Code once, deploy everywhere" is not just a slogan for latest Qt releases, and the recent additions of API stacks like Mobility, QMF and sensors stretches what you can do by purely using the Qt framework. This allows great exploitation of the underlying platform while maintaining straight forward API usage and relatively relaxed learning curve.

This latest additions have been exemplified mostly on Nokian mobile Linux computer platforms. I would like to be able to offer Symbian developers the same great building blocks to build great software using pure Qt just as it is slowly being realized on the N900/Maemo/MeeGo.

I think this is very important in order to keep the Symbian offering live and up to date, and not fall behind the Mobile Linux computers application development offering. I feel this is important in order to revive the Symbian experience, as historically developing for the platform required specific lowlevel platform knowledge and usage of somewhat exotic development, signing and deployment paradigms that are even to date, considered by Symbian developers hard and unpleasant.

I would like to change this and make Symbian development fun, educational and rewarding through the latest Qt offerings, removing as much as possible the historic barriers. Nokia's latest changes to the signing and individual app publishing are great steps towards that, as an example.

== Breakdown to milestones ==

To make the MeeGO-Symbian cross application development experience complete I would like to pursue:

* Blogging about new features that allow to code once deploy everywhere. Code snippets that exemplify and emphasis cross platform-ness.
* Be in constant touch with developer community to see what they liked to be taken from N8 to N900 and vice versa ( == S^3 <-> MeeGo)
* Create guides and tutorials / blog posts about how to port an app that uses feature or api X in either platforms to the other if use of api X feature requires porting work.
* blog and write about porting success stories between the platforms; reach out for companies we know target N8/S3 as well as N900/MeeGo through OVI and ask for their experience. We should be able to learn from their experience, publish it with their consent for good of community and identify where we're great and where not with our support of them.
* List the features/ api calls that do not need any modifications to be ported, to encourage early consideration of cross Symbian/MeeGo code.
* Be up to question about porting through a mailing list, an irc channel and a Forum Nokia discussion board and forums.meego.com section.
* Try to tackle the GUI open-ended problem in places where mobility is not giving the answer; Either by documentation or recipes and bug fixes where applicable and up to my (and interested community members) skills.
* Covering the progress of Qt components that are slowly getting backends both for Symbian and MeeGo, blog/ announce when they are ready and provide recipies to show them off when backends are available for
both platforms. Posting vidoes.
* __Very__ distant goal- writing a book about cross platform development for MeeGo and S3 maybe similar to [0]: but with more emphasis on full real world applications (-recipes). The hope is that developers and companies could reuse recipes close to verbatim in their apps.

That might look too ambitious at first glance, but it is planned for over a period of time, the more proximate stuff are the first action items naturally.

== Ongoing Work and Contacts ==

As some efforts and already ongoing for Qt across Symbian and MeeGo, it is useful to know who does what and the fields he can help with already, through the work he's done so far.

If you are interested in contributing to one of the items listed here, please contact the person coordinating it and start a discussion on the porting mailing list.

== Current general issues with the Symbian-MeeGo story ==

Thanks for Ville for pointing this status:

<code>
We have 2 Symbian - MeeGo portability stories

- QWidget
- QML + Qt Components

(as far as the GUIs go - backend functionality is an open-ended problem,
with a lot of it attacked by Qt Mobility).

Unfortunately QWidget stuff is not mature yet for MeeGo, so you can't do
a useful analysis of the portability aspects.

As for Qt Components, Symbian backends don't exist yet. and for MeeGo
it's a work very much in progress as well.
