GUADEC 2007
We are taking open source to consumer mainstream. This all happens step by step by participating open source development, releasing new software, and building new products. Some of the recent steps are:
- new software for N800 just 2 weeks ago
- announcement of the development version of a new browser -- a Mozilla based browser engine that shares the key components and extension interfaces with Firefox. As small computers, internet tablets should have this option, too!
- announcement of the development version of the new communications software. SIP connection manager, UI improvements, Google Talk relay support ...
- The Hildon application framework contribution to GNOME and GMAE (...well, this is kinda old news but important ...)
---
This is a mostly a developer conference and I'm talking about development versions. We do not advertise these, other than the new N800 software, to general public at this point. We want to develop them openly and collect your feedback. See maemo for more details.
---
There are also many other interesting talks from my team and other GNOME developers related to maemo, GNOME etc. To pick a few:
*Maemo and gtk+: Past, present & future*A Modest E-Mail Client for Gnome and Maemo
*Embedded Browsing and Open Source
*Speeding Up Libglade/Gtk-builder in Embedded Devices Using Shared Objects
*5 tricks and 4 and 1/2 tips for porting GNOME applications to the Maemo Platform ...
I bet I forgot many!! And then, Lefty from Access and Open Moko should be interesting :-)

Regarding new Mozilla browser (*ahem*):
Halle-friggin'-luyah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can finally log in to my Wells Fargo account!!!!!! http://www.wellsfargo.com
I can't :) enough.
A few bugs though which I'll report:
1) entering text into web forms requires 2 clicks
2) when virtual keyboard pops up, web page scrollable area does not adjust
3) password text box did not show up on main Wells fargo login (had to go to secondary page)
Other than that, so far i'm ecstatic!!!!!! Thanks Zerojay and disq for proving that we CAN conduct information from official sources to the Internet Tablettalk forum. Thanks to Ari for the continued communications and allowing us to publicly test this browser.
:D
OMG! a mozilla based broser an, finally, SIP!!! things get more "open" again. this is great news, ari, absolutely sensational. it's such a pity i'll be part of it right now with my 770; actully, both of these make me want to buy an N800 right away. the only reason that keeps me from doing it is that its simply not suitable for my everyday needs with its absolute lack of screen protection.
uups.. "I'll *not* be part of it..." - I should use the preview function.
An open source browser at last - WOOHOO!!!
Hopefully the Mozilla browser can be ported to the 770 as well (either OS 2006 or OS 2007HE). There are loads of new 770 purchasers in the UK recently due to very good deals (~£70) on expansys and elsewhere. Your 770 user base is expanding!
This is awesome! Thank you!
Please port the new mozilla brozer and the sip connectivity to the next 770 Hacker Edition. I'd prefer them to come with the new Hacker Edition release.

Will the slides/presentations for some of the other attendees become available?
I'm particularly interested in the Gtk+, Modest mail and Hildon presentations, although many of the other presentations also looked very interesting. Do you know if all of the GUADEC 2007 presentations will become publicly available, and do you have any links to where they might be published?
Many thanks
Ari, why are you considering Mozilla istead of WebKit? I thought Nokia supports WebKit and tries to make it first class mobile browser platform.
Give also call to E-series guys and make them understand that there is need for E-series devices with Maemo.
I certainly see it painful, when I have to search software implementations for S60. They all are already made with Linux, so maemo with mobiles - would make a lot.
Nice blog. I a also ardent player of WOW GOLD. I love this game. Nice posting about wow gold. Thanks
