Leadman: +initial discussion about fixing layout of "News Archive"

Previous years CU was released weekly, thus it was wise to group CU links based on month of release.
Now, as CU are released on monthly basis it is pointless to do so.
Regarding this, I propose to use layout as below for 2010 and later years:

== Rules for community updates ==
After May 22nd 2009 OM stopped working on community updates. These rules are here to make it possible for the community to keep the updates running.

The draft of the news will be listed here but not on the main page until it gets released. (example, see [[Community Update Draft]] ). Upon the release of the current updates a new page should be created. The news will be added there. On release, the link will be set on the main page. Detailed instructions below.

'''Adding news'''
# Don't expect someone else to add it, add it yourself and make it nice
# Add links to blog posts, applications, mailing list posts that you think are worth to announce to the whole community

'''Releasing'''
# If it's The Release Date and you notice the news has not been released, DO IT! Don't expect someone else to do it for you.
# When you release, move the content of Talk: page to the actual wikipage.
# Add a link to the released update page to http://wiki.openmoko.org/index.php?title=Community_Updates
# Prepare the draft page for the next community news: captions, dates etc.. Releasing news on Thursdays every two weeks sound's good to me.
# Send a post to the community mailing list with the link to the released news and the draft of the next news.

= Ramp up to launch series =

Even though Openmoko strives to keep the community informed of the development progress, Openmoko does not provide delivery dates. Instead, Openmoko Inc. reports and discusses the project on a day to day basis, using the [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/ openmoko-community mailing list]. Developers will wish to follow the progress on the [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/openmoko-kernel/ openmoko-kernel mailing list] and the [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/devel/ devel mailing list]. Major updates notices are sent to the [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/announce/ announce mailing list].

As FreeRunners started shipping, that series of Community Updates mostly related to the expected release date has been taken over by a more community-oriented newsletter.

==Distributions==
{{DistributionBox|
Name=Debian GNU/Linux |
Description=[[Debian]] (http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Debian) is a universal operating system used on many other embedded devices, and also on home computers. Using Debian on the FreeRunner gives access to the Huge army of software packaged in the Debian repositories, already compiled for the Neo's arm(v4) processor. Moreover, one can build one's own source files for programs without having to learn the OpenEmbedded way. For an existing Debian/Ubuntu user, choosing Debian for Neo FreeRunner makes phone a very familiar, trustworthy and flexible place to hack in. The FSO phone stack and SHR user applications have seen a lot of updates. The following packages have been updated to official Debian archives and also made their way to testing repository (which will become Debian 6.0):: libphone-ui 0.1+git20100517.1, libphone-utils 0.1+git20100219-1, libfsotransport 0.9.5.9+git20100507-2, fso-abyss 0.9.0+git20100310-1, libgsm0710mux 0.9.1+git20100322-2, phonefsod 0.1+git20100515-1. The majority of FSO/SHR stack is now in Debian official archives, a major step forward from hosting them only pkg-fso team's own repository. Literki keyboard was also transferred and improved from pkg-fso to official Debian repositories. Jonas Smedegaard drew a nice overview graph of the all the old and new components in the stack: http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianFSO?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=pkgdeps.png As a final note, the new FSO2/cornucopia GSM daemon, fso-gsmd 0.5.0+git20100602-1, has just been uploaded to Debian. |

{{DistributionBox|
Name=SHR [unstable]|
Description=SHR is a community driven GNU/Linux distribution for smartphones based on OpenEmbedded using E17 (illume) as window manager and own gui apps on top of FSO.
After hopefully lucky incident we have finally switched to new kernel (based on 2.6.32.13, KMS enabled):
*New images are built with kernel and all needed changes are already included.
*Images doesn't have udevd installed by default (using devtmpfs), which makes it boot about twice as fast as before (less then 1 min to PIN dialog). But it also won't mount your uSD automatically (it was blacklisted before, but removing it from blacklist won't help now).
*Included packages contains latest stuff like xserver-1.9 (RC3), foxtrotgps and tangogps 0.99.4, QT 4.7.0-beta1 and QML enabled navit.
*Distribution revision was changed in OE, this means that every package installed from shr-unstable feeds will be upgraded during next opkg upgrade (so be sure that you have enough time and space in /var partition). Consider flashing new image, it can be faster and safer in the end.
*Used GCC was upgraded from version 4.4.4 to 4.5 (svn revision 160764 from gcc-4.5-branch, because released 4.5.0 has few issues on ARM targets).
*New GCC brings LTO optimizations, which can give us 30% speedup in some cases see [http://sakrah.dontexist.org/node/1 Benchmark results]. LTO is not enabled by default yet.
*New kernel has some issues, so please try first (on another uSD partition), before upgrading your daily-phone-partition.
*The kernel is bigger than 2MB so if you're using u-boot, update your environment according to [http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Kernel#.22Verifying_Checksum_..._Bad_Data_CRC.22_with_U-boot this wiki entry]
*With slower uSD you can see unknown-block-device while booting. Flash newer Qi [http://build.shr-project.org/shr-unstable/images/om-gta02/ from SHR] it is using rootwait instead of rootdelay=1. For u-boot increase rootdelay or use rootwait.
*Sometimes (and only on some devices) it can show all white (looks like old WSoD, but it's without death). Suspend/Resume should fix this.
*Vibrations are too weak.
*[http://build.shr-project.org/shr-unstable.29/ SHR unstable with kernel version 2.6.29] is still available for download
*[http://git.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/log/ Changelog for all libs/apps included in image]

*''Gennady Kupava'' '''[http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2010-June/062385.html announced]''' his Neo FreeRunner overclocking experiments with enclosed performance tests. Overclocked u-boot images are [http://www.bsdmn.com/openmoko/uboot500/ here]. Read full announcement before use them. You should use them at your own risk!
*''Christoph Mair'' has '''[http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2010-June/062276.html announced]''' that he is developing second version of navigation board for Neo FreeRunner. If you wan to upgrade your smartphone write an email Christoph, if there will be enough interest, a first "production run" will be made. Initial price shoul be 75-80€ but this probably depends on how many devices will be made.
*''Gennady Kupava'' again amazed us with his new series of file system performance tests. Full message is available on community mailing list '''[http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2010-June/062355.html archive]'''.

*As ''David "leviathan" Lanzendöfer'' '''[http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/gta02-core/2010-June/000939.html writes]''' to gta02-core mailing list, new idea was born, to pilot a new Openmoko like platform, based on SAMSUNG-Omnia. The plan is to provide full hardware support by the upstream kernel, and a full SHR-userspace on the shipped phone. The target customers will be business employees, but also private users.
*Recently a lot is happening on ''openmoko-kernel@lists.openmoko.org'', '''[http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/openmoko-kernel/2010-June/011024.html initiated]''' by ''Sveinung Kvilhaugsvik'' and mainly caused by ''Thibaut Girka'' who is merging upstreaming a lot of patches for Neo FreeRunner.

== User Provided tested SIM pictures ==

[[Image:ATT_3G_71234D_SIM.JPG|left|thumb|200px|AT&T 3G 71234 D]]

Base on community post:

The 71324 is the SKU for the AT&T latest UICC.
The 2022 is the Vendor and Version number.

Some cards the vendor numbers are
2 - G&D
3 - Gemalto
4 - Oberthur

Usually user will get CME ERROR 13 (sim failure), rather than CME ERROR 10 (sim not inserted) when 3G SIM not working.

CME ERROR: 32 is Network not allowed, emergency calls only, might because the card not activated.

== The Error ==
<pre>

== Working and not working AT&T card ==

* Some AT&T cards have same vendor/ID number, but different contacts (Josh posted at 2008/8/24), following image shows that card that working (right) and not working (left) one.

[[Image:ATT_simcards_small.jpg]]

Also, AT&T's new SIM card (left) will work with the Freerunner. It has been tested on om2008. On right is the same non-working SIM as the one shown in the above picture.

[[Image:Sim_cards_new.jpg]]

== Working and not working CBB card ==

Only difference on these cards seems to be the printing. One works, two doesn't. All 3 cards wirks fine in my HP Voice Messenger, running Windows Mobile.

== Rules for community updates ==
After May 22nd 2009 OM stopped working on community updates. These rules are here to make it possible for the community to keep the updates running.

The draft of the news will be listed here but not on the main page until it gets released. (example, see [[Community Update Draft]] ). Upon the release of the current updates a new page should be created. The news will be added there. On release, the link will be set on the main page. Detailed instructions below.

'''Adding news'''
# Don't expect someone else to add it, add it yourself and make it nice
# Add links to blog posts, applications, mailing list posts that you think are worth to announce to the whole community

'''Releasing'''
# If it's The Release Date and you notice the news has not been released, DO IT! Don't expect someone else to do it for you.
# When you release, move the content of Talk: page to the actual wikipage.
# Add a link to the released update page to http://wiki.openmoko.org/index.php?title=Community_Updates
# Prepare the draft page for the next community news: captions, dates etc.. Releasing news on Thursdays every two weeks sound's good to me.
# Send a post to the community mailing list with the link to the released news and the draft of the next news.

= Ramp up to launch series =

Even though Openmoko strives to keep the community informed of the development progress, Openmoko does not provide delivery dates. Instead, Openmoko Inc. reports and discusses the project on a day to day basis, using the [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/ openmoko-community mailing list]. Developers will wish to follow the progress on the [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/openmoko-kernel/ openmoko-kernel mailing list] and the [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/devel/ devel mailing list]. Major updates notices are sent to the [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/announce/ announce mailing list].

As FreeRunners started shipping, that series of Community Updates mostly related to the expected release date has been taken over by a more community-oriented newsletter.

==Welcome==
Here you can get a clue on how to contribute to Community updates, while conforming to wiki editing guidelines. You can take a look at [[Community_Update_Draft|Community_Update_Draft]], to have a feel how coming update draft would look like, if we follow all these standarised wiki guidelines. Feel free to discuss here about this topic, maybe we achieve consensus before next CU. Everybody is welcome to help. Following are main topics which should be covered.

==Guidelines==
Conform to [[Openmoko Wiki Editing Guidelines]]. These guidelines covers most of uncertain cases an editor might run into while editing wiki pages. It takes half an hour to dig through this, but is worth to do it at least summarily.

==Editing==
Conform to [[Help:Editing]]

==Creating new templates==
Using Template:ApplicationBox is great idea! Why not create similar templates for other parts of CU? The disadvantage of this way would be little more code to fill, but all entries in particular part of CU would have similar layout. Following this idea [[Template:DistributionBox]] is currently being developed. You can see preview on [[Community_Update_Draft]] in Distribution section.

==Mailing list interface==
Often there is a need to provide link pointing to discussion on a mailing list. Services providing web interface to mailing lists (like nabble.com) were [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2009-June/050363.html reported] many times to break discussion threads in mail clients. Remember, mailing lists were designed to be used with mail clients, not with web forums. If you need to provide link to discussion on mailinglist for those who are not subscribed, use mailing list archives.
* Go to [http://news.gmane.org/index.php?prefix=gmane.comp.handhelds.openmoko gname]
* choose a mailing list
* From top panel choose a post (preferably the one on the top of a thread)
* At bottom panel click "Subject:" link
* Copy URL from your browser into Community Update

Name=Android Cupcake [0.2.0 RC1]|
Description=The AoF community has uploaded a first release candidate for 0.2.0. This release contains:
* Numerous bug fixes
* Improved stability of WiFi, GPS and GPRS
* Kernel speedups (no debugging and no pre-emptive)
* Dynamic CPU frequency scaling
* Avoid security issue with ADB (now disabled by default)

{{DistributionBox|
Name=[[QtMoko]]|
Description=QtMoko is a Debian-based distribution for the Openmoko Freerunner phone. Phone and user interface are based on QT Extended, formerly known as Qtopia. Currently QtMoko is provided with two kernels - one vanilla andy-tracking with debugging stuff and one with stripped config. The first one is slow but stable. The second one is fast, but it can have problems with switching to QVGA (WSOD) and sometimes wifi does not work (Suspend/resume can fix it). You can decide which one you want to use. Just flash your favorite kernel (for jffs image) or change the symlink in /boot (for SD card image). There is a dirty hack for displaying undelivered SMS - you have to restart Qtopia. As for the changes - credits go to Jeroen for fixing bugs and Esteban for translations, thanks a lot! Changes from previous version:
* Spanish translation (Esteban Monge)
* Fixed compiling on systems with QT 4.6
* Fixed freeze while removing wifi-settings (Jeroen Nijhof)
* Fixed bing fonts in SMS email and others (Jeroen Nijhof)
* Fixed saving suspend interval in power management (Jeroen Nijhof)
* NeronGPS and Arora in default installation
* Removed some demos and not working apps
* QX now suspends on call or when SMS arrives
* Workaround for incoming SMS bug
* Two kernels. Slow with debug, fast with nodebug
* Fixed web browser crashes
* Downgrade to QT 4.5.3|

Description=QGPSLog is a GPS logging GUI that uses FSO for GPS and power control. It's simple and never supposed to get a map. Main target was to do track logging (start,stop,split) and avoid supsend when logging. You can specify a minimum battery capacity needed to log, otherwise it will stop logging.|

Name=Android Cupcake [0.2.0 RC1]|
Description=The AoF community has uploaded a first release candidate for 0.2.0. This release contains:
* Numerous bug fixes
* Improved stability of WiFi, GPS and GPRS
* Kernel speedups (no debugging and no pre-emptive)
* Dynamic CPU frequency scaling
* Avoid security issue with ADB (now disabled by default)

Name=[[QtMoko]]|
Description=QtMoko is a Debian-based distribution for the Openmoko Freerunner phone. Phone and user interface are based on QT Extended, formerly known as Qtopia. Currently QtMoko is provided with two kernels - one vanilla andy-tracking with debugging stuff and one with stripped config. The first one is slow but stable. The second one is fast, but it can have problems with switching to QVGA (WSOD) and sometimes wifi does not work (Suspend/resume can fix it). You can decide which one you want to use. Just flash your favorite kernel (for jffs image) or change the symlink in /boot (for SD card image). There is a dirty hack for displaying undelivered SMS - you have to restart Qtopia. As for the changes - credits go to Jeroen for fixing bugs and Esteban for translations, thanks a lot! Changes from previous version:
* Spanish translation (Esteban Monge)
* Fixed compiling on systems with QT 4.6
* Fixed freeze while removing wifi-settings (Jeroen Nijhof)
* Fixed bing fonts in SMS email and others (Jeroen Nijhof)
* Fixed saving suspend interval in power management (Jeroen Nijhof)
* NeronGPS and Arora in default installation
* Removed some demos and not working apps
* QX now suspends on call or when SMS arrives
* Workaround for incoming SMS bug
* Two kernels. Slow with debug, fast with nodebug
* Fixed web browser crashes
* Downgrade to QT 4.5.3|

Leadman: +discussion

Hi Jonci,
Thanks for fixing all typos. I have just looked into Oxford dictionary(and few others), and it seems that both, "favourite" and "favorite" are correct forms, however "'''favourite'''" is used much more in dictionaries. Thus I have a question, is "favorite" an American English word?
--[[User:Leadman|LeadMan]] 08:46, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi Leadman,
first of all I am no native speaker, either ;-) . Favorite is American English and I was not sure what the Wiki is written in - probably doesn't really matter, so you're welcome to revert it, if you prefer favourite.
--[[User:Jonci|Jonci]] 12:13, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

No, that's OK, just wanted to know if my previous grammar form was correct either. --[[User:Leadman|LeadMan]] 12:38, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
