</div> <div class="post-content"> <p>Few things are cooler than being able to work on interesting new stuff. Other people immediately building wild things on top of that work, however, is even cooler.</p> <p>So, I worked briefly in the <a href="http://gupnp.org/">GUPnP</a> project, making bindings for <a href="http://live.gnome.org/Vala">Vala</a>. Before I managed to blog about it (hey, midsummer and all…) <a href="http://zee-nix.blogspot.com/">Zeeshan</a> had ported gupnp-media-server to Vala and Jorn Baayen had built gupnp-media-renderer!</p> <p>so… what does that mean for people who do not speak <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Plug_and_Play">UPnP</a> fluently? It means that I just used my N810 Mediastreamer to select the song <em>Måndagsbarn</em> by <em>Veronica Maggio</em> (a flac file on my laptop) for playing on my living room stereo set. Pretty cool, eh?</p> <p>Now guess how many configuration steps were needed for all three devices to work together? <em>None</em>, it just worked. Very cool.</p> <p>Maybe it’s not comparable to the rocket backpack we’re all waiting for and maybe I’m just easy to impress, but I still found <a href="http://www.burtonini.com/blog/">Ross</a>‘ response to all this very appropriate: <em>“Welcome to the future!”</em></p> <p style="padding-left:30px;">PS: Did I mention it also works for video and images? Well, it does!</p> <p style="padding-left:30px;">PS2: Some of the stuff mentioned here has not been released yet and may still change (at least gupnp-media-renderer is in svn only). The GUPnP framework on the other hand is ready and stable: See the <a href="http://gupnp.org/docs/">documentation</a> for API reference and tutorials.</p> <p>In other news, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tampere">Tampere</a> is a host city <a href="http://www.coss.fi/web/coss/news?p_p_id=86&p_p_action=1&p_p_state=maximized&p_p_mode=view&p_p_col_id=&p_p_col_pos=1&p_p_col_count=0&_86_struts_action=%2Fportlet_configuration%2Fedit_configuration&_86_portletResource=56_INSTANCE_8x3t&_86_cmd=update&_86_groupId=1&articleId=NEWS_COSS_GUADEMY_PROPOSAL&_86_previewWidth=730&_86_redirect=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.coss.fi%2Fweb%2Fcoss%2Fnews?p_p_id=86&p_p_action=1&p_p_state=normal&p_p_col_id=&p_p_col_pos=1&p_p_col_count=08_INSTANCE_8x3t">candidate</a> for <a href="http://www.guadec.org/">GUADEC</a>+<a href="http://akademy.kde.org/">Akademy</a> 2009.

I’m fairly satisfied with it and would love<br /> comments from application developers. Some highlights:</p> <ul> <li>Refined API. Easier to use and includes some nice additions like async-method calls (no more freezing UIs).</li> <li>Usable Master provider:<br /> Geoclue Master provides Address and Position data using the best available geoclue provider. Master may not be industrial quality yet, but it is IMO usable (testing is more than welcome).<br /> See <a title="documentation" href="http://folks.o-hand.com/jku/geoclue-docs/">documentation</a> for usage examples.</li> <li>A couple of new providers:<br /> <em>Gsmloc</em> — uses a cell phone, libgammu and <a href="http://gsmloc.org" rel="nofollow">http://gsmloc.org</a> to get a position. No signals though.<br /> <em>Localnet</em> — uses router MAC address and a local file to get an address. Excellent for often visited places.</li> </ul> <p>Get Geoclue as a <a href="http://folks.o-hand.com/jku/geoclue-releases/">tar-ball</a> or via git:</p> <blockquote><p>git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/geoclue</p></blockquote> <p><strong>OpenedHand is hiring</strong></p> <p>Several open positions: We’re looking for people with kernel, OpenEmbedded, GTK+, Clutter, UI design and graphic design skills (not necessarily all in the same person). <a href="http://o-hand.com/jobs/">Take a look</a>.</p> <p><strong>Guadec 2008<br /> </strong></p> <p>Looks like I will be in <a href="http://guadec.expectnation.com/public/content/main">Guadec</a> talking about Geoclue! This will be joint operation with <a href="http://blogs.gnome.org/iain/">Iain</a> and <a href="http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/">Bergie</a>, and we’ll cover Geoclue, <a href="http://gypsy.freedesktop.org">Gypsy</a> and location-aware applications in general.

Bruises the ego to admit I was fooled, but that does fit the evidence best.</p> <p>Not only that but in my attempt to be a responsible (non-maintainer) packager I’ve also done a mistake: I made my testing package version 1.0-25-jku0 to show that it’s not the original 1.0-25 version. This installs just fine, but later on upgrading will fail because osso-software-version depends on the exact version 1.0-25 :(</p> <p><em>I strongly suggest everyone who installed my testing package to install version 1.0-25 from <a href="http://folks.o-hand.com/jku/osso-gpsd/">the same place</a></em> (I don’t think it’s actually available from anywhere official). Like the version number implies, this is the non-patched version so your GPS time will be a day off until March.

Today I have experienced fix times between 30 seconds and 3 minutes — even from the window which was previously almost impossible.</p> <p>The solution? Don’t have a <a href="https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2877">86400 second error</a> in GPS time keeping.</p> <p>I’m not kidding: there’s a leap year bug in gpsd which makes it add an extra day to all timestamps between Jan 1st 2008 – Feb 28th 2008. All gps-related code apart from gpsd is closed source so I can’t tell for sure, but I’m guessing this false time is used when the gpsdriver is initialized with the “last known position data”.</p> <p>The evidence is just anecdotal, and this could be just a fluke. If anyone else wants to try and confirm, my patched testing packages are <a href="http://folks.o-hand.com/jku/osso-gpsd/">available</a>. The first fix after installing should still take a long time, but I expect the following fixes to be faster. Please comment if you do any tests.</p> <p><b>EDIT:</b> Nokia osso-gpsd maintainer says this in the bug:</p> <blockquote><p>The analysis that the leap year bug would affect fix times is wrong.</p></blockquote> <p>Based on the comments here I’m assuming it’s not just placebo that we’re all seeing, so I’ll have to investigate a bit further.</p> <p><b>EDIT 2:</b> Well, not only was I probably wrong, but the package prevents system upgrade.

It seems I’ll still be carrying an external GPS with me, at least sometimes — just like like I have to carry a camera with me if I want to take half decent photos, even though my phone has two cameras in it. Good gadgets seem to be difficult to make. Good convergence gadgets are still, in my opinion, mostly an unproven theory.</p> <p>Otherwise I’m very satisfied with the device: it feels really solid, and I’m still amazed how they fit the keyboard into a device smaller than the N800.</p> <p><b>Not SiRF III? </b></p> <p>Anyway, about the GPS: There were rumours around the internet that the chipset is SiRF III, but this does not seem to be the case.

So far it’s been great: interesting projects, smart people and a really nice and telework-approving atmosphere (I had some doubts about working several thousand kilometers and two timezones away from the office, but it’s been very smooth so far).</p> <p>For the past few days <a href="http://blogs.gnome.org/iain/">Iain Holmes</a> and I have been reviewing the geoclue API (for those of you just tuning in: Geoclue is a geoinformation framework/library that’ll make your apps location-aware, whether on desktop, laptop or Internet Tablet). Iain posted our <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/geoclue/2007-November/000169.html">proposa</a>l to the mailing list yesterday. <strong>Comments on the API changes are very welcome, </strong>especially from application developers interested in using Geoclue.</p> <p>I feel like I should explain why we want to change pretty much the whole API — I know it might look like NIH syndrome if you just take a quick look… So here goes:</p> <ul> <li>First, we’re still unreleased*: if we want to change something, now is the time.</li> <li>The way functionality was divided among interfaces did not make sense to us: One data provider may provide position, but not address info; another may provide both. It makes sense that the first one implements <em>Position</em>-interface and the second one implements both <em>Position</em> and <em>Address</em>. These changes will make it easier to write a master-server that could actually select different data sources based on their availability and accuracy</li> <li>A few methods and signals had details that <em>really</em> needed to be changed: CivicLocation did not have timestamp on it. Position didn’t have real validity flags so it was hard to tell if a result was valid coordinate or not.</li> <li>At this point the milk had been spilled already. The API had to break in a major way anyway, so there’s little harm in fixing the small annoyances too: CamelCasing interface, method and signal names; changing method names to more meaningful ones (like CivicLocation -> Address).</li> </ul> <blockquote> <blockquote><p>*) I do have geoclue packages available for maemo, but they’re not widely used yet, as far as I can tell.

I’ll post a more detailed look at my original plans and actual accomplishments soon, for now I’ll just say that I’m fairly happy with the results: some things we’re left undone, but other unplanned features got implemented. What I’m wondering is how the rest of Maemo SoC went — according to Mathieu Blondels <a href="http://http://www.mblondel.org/journal/2007/07/25/%e3%81%84%e3%82%8d%e3%81%84%e3%82%8d/">last post</a> he’s doing ok (although that was a month ago), but the other two projects seem to have been dropped in the mid-term evaluation.</p> <p>Smoove “Instant Desktop migration” and the Ruby bindings project have had no activity at all as far as I can tell (there’s some <a href="http://alterego.freeshell.org/projects/ruby-maemo/">progress</a> on the Ruby front, but it seems unrelated). Now, a sample size of four means that we can’t draw too much conclusions, but a half-way failure rate of 50% still seems high — compare with Gnome’s <a href="http://blogs.gnome.org/lucasr/2007/08/21/gnome-summer-of-code-thanks/">2 out of 29 = 7%</a>. What went wrong?</p> <h3>Eminently employable</h3> <p>Conveniently at the same time as SoC ends, I’ve found out that I won’t be getting either of the two jobs I’ve applied for. Naturally the application processes took about nine weeks to finish… So, if you’re looking for a developer or development support person with any/all of these qualities (preferably around Helsinki), let me know:</p> <ul> <li>Involved with maemo from the beginning, familiar with development on the platform</li> <li>Understands open source tools, processes and communities</li> <li>Experience in closed and open source development in several languages on multiple platforms</li> <li>Lots of knowledge and hands-on expertise in Geographic Information Systems</li> </ul> <p>Full time, part time,
