[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Maemo alarms ==> retutime

[From: Jason Mills]

Koen,

Rather than getting hot under the collar, perhaps your energy could be better
spent in steering the grassroots efforts you suggest may be brewing in a
diretion which would be the most friendly to the next generation of
time/alarm/notification frameworks which Nokia is already in the midst of
designing/implementing. I've been chasing the tail of the '770 alarms
question since December 2005. The hardware limitations make things even more
complex, but so be it.


Something which would be time better spent could also be:
* Working with the various players (ARM, TI.OMAP, Nokia, Maemo) to get
details on things like ARM9-core Java acceleration, hw SHA1/RNG, USB-OTG,
etc... documented in a concise and non blame-assigning manner.

* Investigate why .deb dependency failure checks show packages one would not
expect to be missing but are.

This is worrying me a lot. You're effectively saying "We don't want the
community to be involved". I'm pretty close to exchanging 'maemo' with
'qtopia' (and vice versa) in this mail:
http://lists.trolltech.com/qtopia-interest/2006-06/msg00000.html and
repost it to this list.
