>>> Now for the status update this week:
>> Tick merged the qtopia echo patch (#1267), it works, no echo but the
> audio sounds a little bit less 'vivid' (not sure if this is the right
> word). He is now working on the touch screen usage, see
> http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/devel/2008-October/002712.html
>> Olv and Erin is working on reducing boot time. Currently it's reduced
> from 2:35 (Om2008.9) to around 1:40. One minute less in one week, and
> Olv just got back from hospital last Monday. We will merge this into
> OE once we get it organized properly.
>> Jeremy is working together with kernel guy (aka Matt Hsu) to look into
> the possible improvement, namely take a screenshot and show it first
> during resume. It's a common technique in mobile phone.
>> Julian is working on the python loader. He is new to python but he
> got very good helps here in the office such as Guillaume, etc. He
> still got some distro work to finish so it's going to take a while
> before he can work full time on this.
>> Currently we have a major blocker #2071. It can be solved by update
> EFL, but no icons will show up in illume. This seems to be a
> different bug, but we are having an evas-native related issue on the
> build server so the EFL packages are not updated correctly in
> downloads.openmoko.org. This prevents people from confirming it and
> fire another bug.
>> EFL ABI changed along with the svn rev increment last week, so
> Installer and Locations won't work without rebuilding. Although
> people already got reassigned, but nobody will give Om2008 love except
> us and holger, so we will fix the issues above and update testing repo
> soon.
