Re: GNOME Mobile 2009: what do you want to see?

[Marcus Bauer <marcus bauer gmail com>]

Hello,

as I am on the list I'll add my info too.

> Your name:
Marcus Bauer

> Organization:
french VAR

> How long you've been hanging out here:
GMAE ~1 year
GNOME a lot longer

> Why you are interested in GNOME Mobile:
A computer that fits into the pocket has always fascinated me. I
started with familiar linux/GPE on the Compaq iPaq in 2002.

> How you plan to use GNOME Mobile:
GTK+ and the surrounding technologies are a great work horse, well
documented and the development is done by many companies and a big
community (which actually is more important than LGPL). The VAR market
needs simply something that works - animation/effects/3D is less
important than in the retail markets.

> What you plan to contribute:
After Openmoko abandoned GTK+ we are currently working on getting the
basics of GMAE back onto the Freerunner.

> What'd you like to see from GNOME Mobile:
Active marketing. Make sure that people know about it.


Thanks,
Marcus
