He has since contributed to various communities such as Debian, Openmoko, Maemo, and Qt, and is currently focused on Tizen. After a decade of working as a software engineer in different contexts (a research lab, Telco, the CE industry, and a start-up), he had the opportunity to join the Tizen project in an open source department of a larger French company known as Eurogiciel. For the past couple of years, he has been maintaining some parts of the Tizen distribution and actively supports community contributions. Feel free to contact him online at https://wiki.tizen.org/wiki/User:Pcoval. I would like to thank my friend Leon for his faithful dedication to sharing his research with the FLOSS hacking scene. Victor Galindo is a software engineer at CBG Konsult in Barcelona. The company develops and sells high-tech translation solutions for customers such as Volvo and General Motors. He works with cutting-edge technologies to deliver the best solutions to customers. Prior to that, he worked in other tech fields such as materials research at Diopma. He also likes to get involved and collaborate with open source projects; you can find him on GitHub. When he is not wired to a computer, he likes to spend time outside in the mountains with his family and cross-country running with his dogs. David King studied Chemistry at the University of Bath, earning his Bachelor's degree in 2005 and his PhD in 2011. Then, he started software development at Openismus GmbH, a small open source consultancy in Berlin, Germany, specializing in mobile and desktop development with Qt and GTK+. He now works for Red Hat and is focused on desktop applications and libraries for GNOME. He maintains EasyTAG and Cheese, among other applications. I would like to thank my wife for looking after our (increasingly large) flock of chickens during the review process. Oytun Eren SENGUL is interested in everything related to mobile, community, operating systems, and kernels. However, he's currently working on mobile UX projects and is the community manager of Smartface Inc., mostly writing developer documents and managing content, public speaking, and conferences. He had started with Maemo and MeeGo, but now he is developing for iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and Tizen. He is a proud member of the Linux Foundation and is a contributor to Intel software projects. He is one of the developers of Automotive Grade Linux. Currently, he is working on SLP and presents his studies at various conferences. He has participated in various Nokia and Turkcell projects as a community manager. I would like to thank my wife, Seval, for her support and patience throughout this project. Now, she knows everything related to mobile operating systems such as Tizen, iOS, and Android even though her background is Turkish literature. www.PacktPub.com Support files, eBooks, discount offers, and more You might want to visit www.PacktPub.com for support files and downloads related to your book.

  • Nokia, Intel Join Forces in Mobile Software Battle 15 February 2010
    Nokia, Intel join forces in mobile software battle 15 February 2010 US chip maker Intel and Finnish mobile phone giant Nokia announced Monday the launch of a joint software platform that will power a wide range of devices from smartphones to pocket computers. The two groups will merge their systems, Nokia's Maemo and Intel's Moblin, to form MeeGo, an open software platform that will be available to all manufacturers and developers, the companies said at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. The Linux-based platform is scheduled to be launched in the second quarter of this year and the first devices later this year. The market for mobile operating systems was shaken by the emergence of Internet giant Google's Android platform, which is open and thus can be used for free by all manufacturers. Nokia already owns an operating system, Symbian, which leads the market but has lost ground to Android and Apple's iPhone. The Finnish company said earlier this month it would make Symbian an open platform. "MeeGo will drive an even wider range of Internet computing and communication experiences for consumers, on new types of mobile devices," said Nokia chief executive Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo.

  • A Communication Middleware Quality Enhancement with Qt Framework
    Lappeenranta University of Technology Faculty of Technology Management Degree Program in Information Technology Master’s Thesis Kimmo Kolehmainen A COMMUNICATION MIDDLEWARE QUALITY ENHANCEMENT WITH QT FRAMEWORK Examiners: Professor Jari Porras M.Sc. Jussi Laakkonen Supervisor: Assistant Petri Heinilä ABSTRACT Lappeenranta University of Technology Faculty of Technology Management Degree Program in Information Technology Kimmo Kolehmainen A Communication Middleware Quality Enhancement with Qt Framework Master’s Thesis 2010 104 pages, 28 figures, 1 table, 3 appendices Examiners: Professor Jari Porras M.Sc. Jussi Laakkonen Keywords: PeerHood, Qt, Qt Mobility, middleware, quality, peer-to-peer, wireless In this thesis, a Peer-to-Peer communication middleware for mobile environment is developed using the Qt framework and the Qt Mobility extension. The Peer-to-Peer middleware – called as PeerHood – is for service sharing in network neighborhood. In addition, the PeerHood enables service connectivity and device monitoring functionalities. The concept of the PeerHood is already available in native C++ implementation on Linux platform using services from the platform. In this work, the PeerHood concept is remade to be based on use of the Qt framework. The objective of the new solution is to increase PeerHood quality with using functionalities from the Qt framework and the Qt ii Mobility extension. Furthermore, by using the Qt framework, the PeerHood middleware can be implemented to be portable cross-platform middleware. The quality of the new PeerHood implementation is evaluated with defined quality factors and compared with the existing PeerHood. Reliability, CPU usage, memory usage and static code analysis metrics are used in evaluation. The new PeerHood is shown to be more reliable and flexible that the existing one.

  • Momentum Grows for Alternative Phone System Tizen 26 February 2013, by Peter Svensson
    Momentum grows for alternative phone system Tizen 26 February 2013, by Peter Svensson Yves Maitre, the executive in charge of handsets at Orange, France Telecom's wireless arm, said the carrier expects to launch Tizen phones in France this year and in developing countries next year. He spoke Tuesday to reporters and industry insiders at an event in Barcelona, Spain, on the sidelines of Mobile World Congress, the world's largest cellphone trade show. Sprint Nextel Corp. is a member of the Tizen Association, but it hasn't said if it has any plans to bring Tizen handsets to the U.S. Other major backers include Intel Corp. and Huawei Technologies Ltd., China's largest phone maker. Tizen phones will look and work much like Android phones, except that the familiar square app icons are round. By coincidence, that's the shape chosen for the Firefox OS, which was revealed in The junior league of smartphone operating Barcelona on Sunday. Phones from that project are systems is getting more competitive. Phones from also expected this year. yet another contender—Tizen—will go on sale this year with a view to eventually competing with the Both Firefox and Tizen are "open source" projects, industry leaders, Apple's iOS and Google's managed by non-profit associations. That means Android. the software is freely available to customize, giving phone carriers control over how the software works For now, Tizen will compete with another on the phones they sell. By contrast, Apple newcomer, Firefox OS, as well as Microsoft's maintains complete control over the workings of the Windows Phone and a revamped BlackBerry iOS software in iPhones.
