<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi,</div>
<div>I am also starting to work on a project on Openmoko, and trying to gather the same experience. So this is really guiding me ahead :-)</div>
<div>I tried looking at the wiki, and someone on the IRC told me, that is a place which is highly unorganised and might contain old information too. And reading through the mailing list archives is also messy, not that I do not do that :-)</div>
<div>Since, I am a total newbie to Openmoko/developing on Linux, it becomes more alien for me :-) to start.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Coming to the point, I would like your opinion on how should I go about the application which I intend to develop. Link here: <a href="http://www.ajuonline.net/academics">www.ajuonline.net/academics</a></div>
<div>Which is a Stand along application for the Sahana web based FOSS disaster management system [<a href="http://www.sahana.lk">www.sahana.lk</a>].</div>
<div>Since there is no such existing solution which has totally exploited the power of advanced mobile devices that we have now for Sahana, I am planning to have the application run across various mobile devices as well. Just because, Disaster Management area is a wide area where implementation is done on anything and everything available and as per the skills of the people involved in it. Like Sahana itself being a FOSS application which started off a LAMP stack, and the developers work on the Linux environment, the implementations mostly have been on windows.. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Moreover for my application I want to use the following features:</div>
<div>1. Wifi - to automatically scan for access points and connect to them.</div>
<div>2. GPS - map plottings and sending GPS co-ordinates.</div>
<div>3. SMS - send SMS. Automated and manually typed ones through input screen. Also i will be making my application generate sms messages based on user inputs to send it to the server.</div>
<div>4. GPRS connection - as an alternative connection medium. To send the data to the main server.</div>
<div>5. Store data locally on the memory card. Primarily, and option to synch it with the main server when connection is available or when the phone can be manually plugged into the computer/server via USB ?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Also, after setting up QEMU and following the MakeFile instructions for Ubuntu i got the Qtopia build running. With 4 icons and on clicking them nothing happens. Plus I also see "No Network"</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any suggestions on how to move ahead would be of great help.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Regards,</div>
