I was told a very good news from Blassey blog. Doug Turner solved the test blocker of Fennec for Windows Mobile. I was delight to hear the new because I had tried several times to run Fennec on my SAMSUNG i780 (called Mirage in Korea). I had failed to run Fennec. Tooday, I tried to build Fennec for Windows Mobile from the trunk of Mozilla. It is working well, but very slow on i780.…

I implemented the hildon menu for Fennec on Maemo. Actually, the hildon menu feature has not been decided to be added for 1.0 release. I’m not sure if this patch could be applied to the mainline. Mozilla platform already supports the hildon framework so it is easy to add new things for Maemo if you wish.…

Photo: Teemu Mäntynen FOSDEM 2009 finished last week. Although I didn’t attend FODSEM, I got a feel for what was going through through blogs and photos on Flikr. FODSEM(Free and Open Source Software Developer’s European Meeting) is a largest occasion for free/open source developers in Europe. It is relevant to various open source projects and it can be compared with OSCON(O’Reilly Open Source Convention) held in the US. The following projects had their own session:…

I attended Firefox+ Summit at Whistler, Canada. It was a great time in my life because I met Mozilla folks who I had known the name only and talk about some issues I have wondered. This occasion was held to celebrate Firefox3 release and talk about the future plan of Firefox3.1 and the current issues. About 400 Mozilla peoples joined the summit coming from all over the World. They are involved in the various projects such as AMO(Add-ons), QA, Localization, Gecko, JavaScript, Mobile, UX, evangelist, messaging, SVG, MDC, and so on.…

Mitchell Baker, chair of the Mozilla foundation and Gen Kanai, Asia marketing manager, visited Korea to attend the OECD ministerial meeting during June 17th ~ 18th and give talks in the Future of Global Web Technology conference on June 19th. Coincidentally, Mozilla had officially released Firefox3 in this period of time, so the Mozilla Korea Community hosted a Firefox Seoul party to celebrate the release of Firefox3. They also attended the party, so it made the event more exciting for the community.…

The plan of Mobile Firefox was announced in October last year and the Mozilla community is now very busy to develop Mobile Firefox. Fennec is the code name of Mobile Firefox, which is a desert fox. You may have seen a fennec in TV animation. The size of fennec is smaller than normal fox and it has big ears. So I think the name of Fennec seems to be suited well for Mobile Firefox.…

I bought a Nokia N810 from Amazon. Actually, there are not any shopping malls selling N810 in Korea so I had to buy an N810 from the oversea shopping mall. Anyway, I am very satisfied with N810. It may be my favorite toy. N810 uses the Maemo platform that is based on Linux 2.6, GTK+, Matchbox and other open source projects. Scratchbox is used for its development environment that supports a cross-platform development environment.…
