Configuration wizard

I did another part of configuration wizard for Gammu/Wammu, so if you are interested how it will look like, you cat try current Wammu snapshot and tell me how you like the wizard. It doesn't do any real action so far, only provides most of pages it will provide once it is fully functional :-).

Graphic designer wanted

I'm looking for somebody with experiences on drawing graphics. Next Wammu will come with some nice features which would require some images. For now I'm sure there will be two new wizards:

  • Phone configuration wizard - to ease configuration of phone. Either by embeding current search ability or by guiding user through manual configuration.
  • Migration wizard - migrate data between phones. You know this situation - you bring brand new phone and want to migrate your existing data from old one to it as quick as possible. Side effect of this will be also backup/restore wizard only by using backup files instead of source or target phone.

I want them to look good, so a bit of graphic would help. Is there somebody willing to help?

OpenUsability projects

OpenUsability project has opened some projects to public. None of projects have been chosen as student work (I understand this, as I didn't put there much formal specification), but instead offered as open projects.

This is both good and bad news: Bad news because there is no sponsoring for the usability consultant, good news because the time frame is not restricted to January-April (they may start immediately ;-), and professionals can apply as well as students.

Gammu talk online

I had talk about Gammu and Wammu this weekend on LinuxAlt. Video should be online on conference website after some time, but my presentation and text is available right now. You can find it in new section talks. I will have to solve navigation later :-).

Wammu 0.17

Wammu 0.17 has been just released. New features:

  • Fix searching.
  • Remember column sorting.

As you can see there is not much to mention, because this is mostly bug fix release. Hopefully I didn't make much new bugs :-).

Gammu talk on LinuxAlt

If you will be first weekend in November near Brno, you might be interested in LinuxAlt, where I will have a talk about Gammu and generally mobile phones under Linux.

The talk will be in Czech language as most of audience is expected to be Czech speaking.

Wammu 0.16

Wammu 0.16 has been just released. New features:

  • Include platform in crash log.
  • Fix SMS composer on Windows.
  • Fix adding part to SMS after removing all.
  • Fix editor on Windows.
  • Now requires wxWidgets 2.6.

Too slow coder

Okay the release I promised will be delayed as I didn't manage to rewrite editor widget fast enough. Right now I have the editor itself working, it only needs some code cleanup and implement returning of value. After this "minor" thing will be implemented, you can expect new version, what will hopefully happen this week.

Ready for new release?

I'm going to fix last remaining bug marked for fixing this evening and release Wammu 0.16 after it. So if you have any problem with Wammu and want to have it fixed in next release, it's best time to report it.
