After the release of Tapioca for Nokia 770, there have been a lot of discussion, specially on #maemo, about the status of SIP on the UI and the interoperability with another clients. There is a page at Tapioca Wiki explaining the current state of this supoort in the framework. A small quotation:
The main issue that has yet to be solved for full interoperability with other SIP clients is Media traversal trough NAT environments. That means that you can connect (establish a session) to other clients, but you will not be able to make Voice Calls to anyone.
After seeing Denis Auroux released a new version (0.3) of Xournal, I ran to update my patches and build the fresh packages for the Nokia 770. If you already have it installed, just refresh your list of packages and then click on the "Check for Updates" button. Otherwise, just follow the instructions of my previous post.
Check the changelog.
In the last few weeks, I have been helping Tapioca guys to port the demonstration UI to Nokia 770. Now it is available! Some Screenshots:

Time goes really fast!!! It has been a year since the announcement of Nokia 770 Internet Tablet and Maemo platform. Congratulations to everyone who have contributed and worked hard to build the community and make the platform grow to what it is now. Although there were some detours, I think we are building our road in the right direction and there is a lot more to come :).
Also, I'd like to celebrate my first year in Recife. It has been a little bit more than a year since I have moved from Brasília looking for new challenges in my professional carreer. Before beeing hired to work at INdT I had been working for almost 4 years in a governmental institution, where I had the chance to develop various OS/2 and Linux applications. It was my first job and I must say that I had learned a LOT over there, thank very much to Jeovânio, Rômulo, Alessandro, Cezar, Marcio, Jorge and many others.
So, I have left a lot of friends and family people in Brasília and decided to come to Recife by myself to focus my work on Free Software and Open Source World. Although living far far away from home (about 2.500 km) and missing the contact with my family closest friends, I don't regret my decision. I enjoy the life in Recife, which is a very good and beautiful city, besides being huge and having all the problems it has. I have met a lot of people including my beautiful and lovable girlfriend, Wanessa. It's been 10 months since we met, and thank to her I knew a lot of places and made new friendships too.
Finally, I'd like to thank very much my family that have always been supporting me, my old and new friends (specially Wanessa), my co-workers and finish with some words I have learnd from uncle Jack from Dallas: "Work hard, Play hard and Party hard". Lets celebrate!
As promissed, last weekend I did a quick hack on xournal code and ported it to Maemo platform. I've been somewhat busy lately and I have found some time to build the package for 770 only yesterday.
Xournal is a great application, it fits perfectly on 770, but unfortunately its performance on the device is far from acceptable. Iván Frade has sent some emails to the author, Denis Auroux, and since yesterday the project is hosted by sourceforge. From now on we can help developping and improving xournal. If you want to help, don't hesitate to join the project.
Some screenshots taken from the 770:
INdT VoIP team is proud to announce the new release of the Tapioca VoIP solution.
Tapioca is a framework for Voice over IP (VoIP) and Instant Messaging (IM). Its main goal is to provide an easy way for developing and using VoIP and IM services in any kind of application. It was designed to be cross-platform, lightweight, thread-safe, having mobile devices and applications in mind.
Well, it's been quite some time that people ask me about the sources of libgnomeprint for Maemo platform. I thought it would be a better idea if I wrote a post about it, like a HowTo. This way it can benefit everyone interested in porting applications, specially GNOME apps, that depends on this lib. With some few commands and we have the packages ready-to-install in Maemo platform. The packages were generated using Ubuntu Hoary.

Christian Hammond have released a package of his Tetringo game, which is a Second Life Tringo clone. I have not tried it yet, but he said "the game is fairly addicting" and there are plans to release a multiplayer version of the game. For now we have the chance to practice while we wait for the multiplayer version.
He had also updated the Application Catalog in Maemo wiki. Have Fun!
Hi everybody,
As promissed, I have just released a new version of evince package, and this one is the smallest package ever. First of all, as we don't need libgnomeprintui anymore, we save about 2794 KB. Second, I have generated only the dictionaries supported by the device. With this we saved about 885 KB. Total memory saved: 3679 KB. Cool!!! :D
But the most attractive and coolest feature in this version is that you are able to scroll the document using the stylus, just like you do when you use Browser and the default PDF reader.
So for these reasons I strongly recommend you to to download and install this new version. And don't forget to uninstall libgnomeprintui package, unless of course, you have gnumeric installed.
