All the sensible VM options are paying ones under Mac, so I only started to play around w the development idea, when MADDE came.

VirtualBox is pretty solid on Mac. While I haven't tried it on Mac, on Windoze the `official` VMWare image works flawlessly in VirtualBox so you don't even need to setup your own environment, just plug and play, and I see no reason why should it be otherwise on Mac as well (my friend is running Ubuntu on his Mac through VirtualBox and have had no issues with it).

You will have to use some sort of VM/emu if you are to target ARMEL devices on OS X anyway...

you have to log in again on the wiki page (it is the same user but not SSO) and enter (again!) your email for your wiki profile - after that is confirmed, the edit works.

Cannot log in at wiki page. Period. Refused. Denied.

I am told I should try re-confirming email at meego.com. Will do.

I'd say the Maemo experience. What plans are there to get N900s into the hands of Moblin developers? What plans are there to step them through the series of 30 second videos showcasing Maemo features and GUI?

The 30 second intros (even if that was Nokia Conversations) are good assets too, good to remember.

No. XX -devel and -testing repos

I would like to have -devel and -testing repos for meego too. I really enjoy the freedom to brick my device, just because I decide to :) Direct access to developers, alpha and beta software is great (if you are into hardcore BDSM).

Edited for clarity of the hardcore part ;)

isn't that BDSM?

anyway, i agree - the devel/testing/extras structure is a part of the freedom i wouldn't want to miss.

This BSDM talk is making me exicited about MeeGo.

BDSM repository for MeeGo, please. Now, that's innovation.

I'm seeing that nearly ALL of the members are affiliated with Maemo. While it is good for the Maemo community, will it cause any resistance from the Moblin community?

It seems to be evening out somewhat now, if I'm reading the page correctly. The Maemo folks were probably just a bit quicker than those other folks (we expected no less either! ;))

One thing that Intel may bring to this party is their more open (as in less private) approach to defect tracking, which is long overdue.

Quim, since the public tracking of defects is often the most fundamental aspect of an open software development project, would it help if this was moved to a thread of it's own?
