November 2007

= Meeting Announcement =

The November Meeting is on... we'll be having it this coming Wednesday at 6:30PM at Mozilla's offices in Mountain View."1981 Landings Drive, Building K Mountain View, CA 94043-0801"

This month I'll be giving a brief presentation on downloading and configuring tools and software to make a stock Xubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) installation work as a development platform for the ConsoleLCD-based myPhone prototype.

Topics include:
 * what packages to download
 * how to evoke the BUILD scripts
 * how to configure Eclipse to make myPhone development a breeze

I've build both an "install script" to automate the process and developed a VMWare image with all the tools required to complete development of a base-level phone GUI for the ConsoleLCD. I'll be bringing a few DVDs with the latest release of the VMWare image to  share.

And as always, there will be the usual business networking and technical brainstorming before and after the presentation. It's no secret that the Mozilla team has been putting more effort into the mobile space recently, so this is a great opportunity to mingle and discuss techniques for compiling software designed for the desktop into a mobile Linux platform.

Plus, the good people of the Mozilla Corporation are buying us Pizza! (Thanks MozFolk!)
