Sadly the odds of getting Skype to work with the 770 are low, as we lack working codecs for the OMAP 1710 processor. [Less]

bugs.maemo.org is accessible again to anonymous users and search engine spiders. We have applied some patches to our Bugzilla and now no email address should be accessible without registering. Thanks to the bugzilla.gnome.org for sharing their ... [More] privacy tips! We found a couple more of weaknesses in the extended functionality for showing search results. If you still see email addresses where they shouldn't be, please share your findings. Last Spring we decided to limit the access to to registered users, in order to help protecting their privacy and avoid the risk of bot spiders gathering email addresses. It was clear that the stock Bugzilla had this privacy weakness but it was brought on top of of our priorities as soon as some users reported having received spam in addresses used only in maemo's bug tracking system. Having bugs.maemo.org close to the public view has been uncomfortable but we still think it was the right thing to do. [Less]

GstOpenMAX is a collaboration among Fluendo, Nokia, STMicroelectronics, TI and the open-source community, initiated by Nokia with the goal to develop a GStreamer plugin to run OpenMAX-IL components in GNOME and GStreamer applications. The new project ... [More] aims to merge efforts from Bellagio project and GOmx project into one solid OMAX-IL plugin for GStreamer.

The GstOpenMAX plugin enables GNOME and GStreamer applications to seamlessly use OpenMAX-IL components. In addition, the project also provides the community with the possibility to develop cross-platform codecs, that would automatically be supported by GStreamer multimedia framework. [Less]
