[QUOTE=Wikiwide;1521234]Shmoose: why not as telepathy plugin?

My first idea was to improve the gabble plugin. But that's pure old C. And the current Messaging App on SFOS is very limited, which also has to be improved by new dBus bindings and lot of qml stuff. Furthermore its difficult to get a new gabble plugin on the device. That can only be done within a system update.

So for me, as a C++ developer, using swiften with C++11 and qt is a lot more fun :D...

Hello,

1. Is Andoid .apk admitted to the competition?

2. How .apk can be teasted that it works fine on Sailfish?

3. Is Tizen Mer-based OS?

4.What about Qt-html5 or Sailfish -html5 or other OS ( from Competition)?

Thank you

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

1.) no, android applications are not able to compete
2.) same as 1.)
3.) yes
4.) yes, if it runs natively on SFOS

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

3.) No? https://www.tizen.org/sites/default/...inuxcollab.pdf

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

1. This is strange... not clear from rules
Cause apk - second binary for SF OS

2. If Tizen is Mer-based OS ( Yes ?)
so can I share web or native tizen app for the competition?
Cause rules says - Mer-based, Includes all Mer-based devices.

We will see whats they say about Tizen...

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

OK, now I have to admit I might have somewhat dated knowledge about this; I really assumed that Tizen would have Mer Core under the UI layer... Seems this actualy isn't so.

The Council has to make a statement about this and post the final verdict to the competition Wiki page. (https://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo.org_Cod...mpetition_2016)

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

APK is not a second binary for SFOS. APK is a second binary for Jolla phones. Many people are running SFOS on Nexus, OnePlus, Fairphone etc - none of these phones have the Android compatibility layer, because it's not part of the OS, it's an add-on.

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

awesome project, and I just orderrd 10 pcs of that ESP8266 module for my arduino nano :)

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

@nieldk

Thanks!
I want to automate my blinds too with an ESP8266 and a SFOS app :)
But then I need to rename RGBWiFi :p

BTW: you can use those ESP8266 as an Arduino. The only downside is the number of analog inputs (only 1). but the CPU runs at 80Mhz or more which is at least 5 times faster then a Arduino Nano. But it can also be used to handle only the WiFi part and communicate with through serial.

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

:) thanks mate, and best of luck in competition, looking forawrd to see more from you and the other competitors.

Now, i need to think of some TMO competition or ...?
price could be ESP8266 modules, what you think?

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line

You mean a competition where we combine Mer based OS with hardware like Arduino?

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

Exactly. Allowing APK would also imply allowing, say, MS-DOS programs because the N900 runs dosbox.

It is admittedly hard to define precisely what's inside the set and what's outside the set, but something like "native applications for maemo- or mer-based operating systems" should at least capture the intention.

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

I agree. However, just to muddy the waters I would argue that if projects like sfdroid could be made to work on all phones running libhybris based SFOS ports, then they should be allowed (but not apps running on sfdroid obviously).

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

I agree with this. I think that work on the various SFOS adaptations, and sfdroid is of interest to many in the community. Projects that result in concrete capability advancements in this space would seem to be in the spirit of this competition.

This is my first post to TMO and already my contribution to the Developer Regatta:

Project Name: Wunderfitz

Author: Sebastian J. Wolf

Brief description: Wunderfitz is a mobile dictionary application for offline use, including the Heinzelnisse Norwegian-German dictionary (heinzelnisse.info) and supporting dict.cc dictionary export files.

Category: Fixing/Updating

Screenshot(s):
https://openrepos.net/sites/default/...shot-de-en.png https://openrepos.net/sites/default/...shot-de-no.png https://openrepos.net/sites/default/...ctionaries.png

Features/work to be judged: I started Wunderfitz mainly to learn C++ and Qt - and to have a fast and offline German-Norwegian dictionary as I'm currently learning Norwegian. After the initial publishing in the Jolla Store, I got more and more requests to add other languages as well, so I decided to support the import of dict.cc dictionary export files for the Developer Regatta. So the work to be judged is:

• Import of dict.cc dictionaries
• Offline usage of imported dictionaries
• Search-as-you-type for both languages of the selected dictionary
• UX improvements such as Copy to Clipboard, Reverse search for results - both available in context menu of a result item

Package name and where to find the app/repository:

• Jolla Store
• OpenRepos: https://openrepos.net/content/ygriega/wunderfitz
• Sources on GitHub: https://github.com/Wunderfitz/harbour-wunderfitz

I hope you find it useful! :)

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

Very useful! Thanks!
No offense, but could you make it possible to remove the DE-NO dictionary? That is one, I know I'll never use. ;)

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

The separate application for XMPP is a bad idea. What's the point in using Sailfish when all it does is copy Android where you need to have a separate application running for everything? I admire the effort, but it misses the point.

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

Having done quite a lot of research into XMPP libraries, there are some good reasons (the swiften library has better support for some XEPs that are important for mobile, and group chats with pictures etc.). Telepathy is still quite desktop-centric.

Having said that, I am working on a Telepathy based XMPP client (I started researching TelepathyQt in November, before I knew about the other apps that are in development). Aim is to implement things that are missing from jolla-messages like roster management first, then look at MUC etc.

Hopefully the two apps will compliment each other, and it won't harm to have more people with a good understanding of XEPs etc. within the community. Choice is a good thing.

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

Deletion of dictionaries is certainly something I will implement in the next release.

However, removing the Heinzelnisse DE-NO dictionary from the package would be more or less an incompatible change especially for the initial users. The alternative - to set SUID and then to allow the user to delete the DB on /usr/share... - would especially be a no-go for Jolla Harbour. There I'm not allowed (and that's good!) to tinker with areas where only root can do changes. So I would need to implement some kind of a migration path (e.g. online importer for Heinzelnisse) to mitigate this issue. Moreover, the memory footprint of the dictionary is rather low - about 6MB on the disk and close to zero in memory if you've not selected it (though I haven't measured that in detail I have to admit).

So in the end my precious free time (I have a 50+ hours/week day job and a private life) would be eaten up for something which is not a very big win. So personally, I would rather invest that time in other features/important bug fixes or even a new app. I still haven't touched most of Qt and I've begun to like it that much that I want to know more... ;)

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

you should relocate to /usr/local/.. and ensure ordinairy user have rights i guess

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

Mhmm, as mentioned I'm an absolute novice so I don't get it why this should help.

To what I know, write access to /usr/local is only possible by root by default. Changing this would also require root privileges. So I would end up setting SUID - which I'm not allowed for Jolla Harbour. In addition for Harbour the directory structure is pretty much strict and bans /usr/local as far as I understand it. And even if I said I'll only publish on OpenRepos from now and ignore the Harbour rules, it would be quite of a hack which I don't like to do... If I missed anything or simply don't know crucial details, please let me know. I'm willing to learn.

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

As the Developer Regatta isn't over yet, and I would like to see more applications for fremantle/harmattan, now is the chance to try out the QtSDK for windows with device emulator.
So also people can write some application without a hardware. I know this will never happen. However hope is the last to die. ;)

A match is standard best of 1 set and best of 3 legs. The player to start the leg is indicated (with *). Throw score and total score after the throw are presented in a listview. Match and leg averages (for three darts) are calculated after each throw. In match settings you can choose the number of sets, legs, starttotal, the player to start and the showing of the averages. The settings are saved on acceptance.

Still one and perhaps the last update before the deadline of the Regatta. Enjoy the Fast Ches version 0.7.2 with the features added:
- Spanish translation by Carlos Gonzalez
- Increased accuracy of the clock in the boardview
- Clock data synchronized in two device play, network delays subtracted from to time accumulated
- Clock and increment settings synchronized automatically in two device mode

Re: [Council] The 1st Maemo Developer Regatta - The starting line
 

To those who haven't done so yet, it's always a good idea to make it easy for people to translate your applications. You can apply for hosting your applications' translation efforts for free at Weblate or Transifex as long as you show them the source code is available (which doesn't seem to be a problem looking at this thread!). This lets anyone translate your applications online, without requiring them to know how to work with GitHub or the likes.

The more languages your applications are available in, the more useful they will be!

Application submission: OSM2go updates
Project Name: OSM2go
Author: Dakon aka. DerDakon (Rolf Eike Beer)
Brief description: OSM2go has been improved lately. It now uses C++ for many things, which results in reduced memory usage (std::vector and friends instead of handcoded single-linked lists). It gained some new features (e.g. nested presets, so a newer set of JOSM presets can be used), a couple of memory leaks were fixed. Based on the C++ port a Qt5 based GUI will eventually come, hopefully bringing OSM2go to Jolla.

- new presets features (list of presets used in the currently selected object [presets -> "Used presets"], multi-level presets hierarchy)
- usability improvements (e.g. place node at current GPS position, "Update all" to update all project OSM files)
