I find the mix of high-level technical arguments with social and emotional considerations fascinating.
-* It is a pleasure to say that the Community localized the [[Illume keyboard]] to at least [[Illume#List_of_illume_keyboards|nine different languages]]. This does not only involves layout and icon, but also building up a dictionary (the keyboard emits key symbols when in "terminal" mode, but uses predictive dictionary lookups when in "strings" mode.) The frontier: asian languages input.

 * The Freeunner is also a target platform for many innovative new input methods.
 * Carl proposed a simple in-car mount: stick a piece of velcro on the dashboard, strap the FreeRunner onto it through the hole, flipping the display with ''xrandr -o 2''. Add a standard USB car charger, you are all set.

Back on the mailing lists, activity was rater slow during the first week of the year, but got more intense than ever after the holidays. Illume's keyboard received lots of localisations. Opkg.org reached the critical mass of packages. SHR and FSO are counting down toward their next milestone, while coding continues for kernel, drivers, Android and the like. It looks like the switch to 2.6.28 is going to happen soonish, before the switch to the Paroli phone stack.	+	Hi! This is the ninth [[Community Updates]], January 12th issue.
