Openmoko codesprint @ FSCONS 2008

The Openmoko code sprint will focus on the developement of “voj”. A tool to record, store and share your travel-routes using an Openmoko device. To allow a wide range of applications Voj will, following the example of “locations”, integrate with the OpenStreeMap infrastructure and use the freely licensed maps to graphically display the routes.

What we have:

Humanware
- 2 Openmoko developers (both python and edje experienced)

Infrastructure
- a room
- a lot of chairs and tables
- a local svn
- a local network

Hardware
- some FreeRunners to test the application/code

Software
- access to the gps data transmitted to and from the FreeRunner

the Plan
- an outline of the tool(s) to be build with lots of room for creativity and individual freedom
- UI designs as guidelines for the designs (will be published here as soon as available)

What we need

Humanware

- brave, creative developers

Hardware

- one laptop per developer, preferably welded together by a yearlong fruitful relationship

Software

- enlightenment development environment up and running (on-site installation etc also possible, but self-experiment encouraged)

What we will develop:

Software
- a mechanism to record routes
- a mechanism to store routes
- a mechanism to share the routes on OpenStreetMap
