GTK surprises on Maemo
,----[ Quote ]
| Sometimes the creation of the contact
| chooser used on the N900 can be slow so,
| using callgrind and kcachegrind, I tried to
| understand what is the source of the
| slowness. This lead me to find some
| unexpected, and apparently undocumented,
| differences between upstream GTK and the
| Maemo version.
|
| [...]
|
| The results seem quite good; now the
| contact list is fast, scrolling is smooth
| and the delayed loading of avatars should
| not be visible in normal cases.

Nokia N900
,----[ Quote ]
| It uses Nokiaâs Maemo operating system,
| which is based on Linux, and it has some
| clever features â there is a terminal
| program, which allows you to type in Linux
| commands, and a TV output cable in the box.
| Itâs designed around applications â itâs
| easy to add new ones, put them on the home
| screen and run them simultaneously without
| the phone slowing-down much.

Comparing Maemo & Ubuntu
,----[ Quote ]
| While Iâve occasionally been critical of
| Ubuntu as a project, it is a distribution
| with very open processes, for the most
| part.
|
| Iâd like to compare the experience of a
| casual Ubuntu user, an engaged Ubuntu user,
| an Ubuntu developer, and an upstream
| application developer to the equivalent
| MeeGo or Maemo experiences.
|
| The casual Ubuntu user gets regular stable
| updates on a predictable schedule, with
| long-term supported versions less
| frequently, but still on a predictable
| schedule. Stability, releases, this user
| doesnât want to know what happens behind
| the scene, he wants to get software when
| itâs âdoneâ.

MeeGo Presentations from the Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit
,----[ Quote ]
| The MeeGo project was featured in two
| keynotes and an all day session during the
| Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit. It
| was a great opportunity for me to meet more
| of the people who are contributing to MeeGo
| in person, and I was very happy with the
| MeeGo content at the event. In addition to
| great presentations, we had a lot of
| audience engagement, questions and
| discussion, which is critical during this
| early period for the project.
