2009 年終回顧

年初的時候去了一趟美國, 如願買了 MacBook, 還很幼稚的在 Westfield 迫不及待地開箱

二、三月因為工作徹底的燃燒殆盡, 肩上的背包從來沒放下來過, 累積的哩程可比巴士大叔. 此時的主題曲是 Apartment Story


Tired and wired we ruin too easy,
sleep in our clothes and wait for winter to leave.

四月時忍不住手癢, 把醞釀多時的想法灌注在 xPUD 上, 開始獲得 (相對於從前) 大量的迴響

五六月時陷入低潮, 一邊繼續著手 xPUD 的開發, 一邊獨立接案完成了幾個產品

我爬上全世界的屋頂
帶著沒有人能瞭解的心情
狂亂的時候
誰能擁抱我的空洞
絕望的時候
有誰能挽救我的惡夢

七月時老媽老妹也搬到台中, 菸抽得更兇

我想要為你贏得一個未來
卻一不小心輸了現在

八九月在各大研討會巡迴演出, 和 Fred 籌組 ullab.org 事宜.
十月, 在 YAPC::Tiny->second 得到 Audrey Tang 簽名

十一月應 GNOME.Asia Summit 之邀去了一趟越南

十二月 xPUD 得獎!

談定不少重要的案子, 居然連 iPhone 都入手了. 真是由 Apple 開始也由 Apple 結束的一年阿.

xPUD 0.9.2 - Firefox OS with App Store

Download: xpud-0.9.2.iso (64MB)
Website: http://www.xpud.org

We're pleased to announce the release of xPUD 0.9.2. xPUD is a minimal and fast booting Browser OS, based on Mozilla Firefox, with a web-based UI on top. This version comes with new SysTray, WebApp mode, PageCurl effect, online App Store, new File tab and more.

New Features

New SysTray and Improved Backup/Restore

We re-write the SysTray with iconified style, also provide an on-screen notification, and little tweaks of shutdown dialog.

PageCurl and WebApp mode

Plate now supports WebApp mode, that open web page directly within UI, and we're working on a window control feature called PageCurl.

Opt-Get App Store

You can install applications by using Opt-Get and the online App Store. For example if you want to have Dropbox, which is pretty neat for netbook, you can simply click on it, and it will be downloaded, installed and kept for you to use next time.

You can also pre-download opt plugins, and put them under opt/ directory of your USB drive, they'll be auto loaded while xPUD is booting.

Updated system and File tab

Based on latest Ubuntu 9.10 repository and Linux Kernel 2.6.31, xPUD 0.9.2 comes with Vietnamese support of total 15 different languages, and now we have Xorg and PCManFM built into core. The porting of ARM and MIPS architectures had also been done.

Known Issue

As a development release, this version comes with some known issues:

Windows installer can only be installed on the first partition (C:\) without hidden partition
Some Broadcom BCM43XX chip needs firmware, you can pre-download it by using get_b43_firmware script
Xorg in this release doesn't come with most DRI drivers, we'll provide them by Opt plugin, if it doesn't detect your screen resolution right, try screen=1024x768 parameter
PageCurl served only as window control button know, it will be improved in the next release

Please report bug on the issue tracker, we'll keep eyes on that and try hard to get rid of them.

Special Thanks

We had been widely reported and were invited to be a speaker on many conferences since June 2009. Thank you all for effort to spread the word!

And thanks to our core team members, Vaidotas Kazla "joshas", Fulvio Chionetti "kionez", Tristan Velter "tvelter", Hai Le and many contributors on forum and IRC channel, you've done an amazingly great job!

xPUD 0.9.2 - 無限擴增的 Firefox 作業系統

下載: xpud-0.9.2.iso (64MB)
官方網站: http://www.xpud.org

xPUD 新版本 0.9.2 釋出了，xPUD 是一套極簡且快速的瀏覽器作業系統 (Browser OS)，整個系統就只有 Mozilla Firefox 並搭配一套簡單介面。這個版本更新了「系統資訊」、「網頁捷徑」、「捲頁控制」、線上「安裝商城」與新的檔案分頁。

主要功能

新的系統資訊列與備份/還原機制

我們重寫了系統資訊，改用從 Moblin 偷來的圖示，提供不斷冒出螢幕的更新訊息 (OSD) 功能和對於關機畫面的一些改進。

捲頁控制與網頁捷徑

現在 Plate 介面可以直接開啟網頁，並且右上角會出現一個可愛的捲頁符號 (Page Curl) 提供了基本的視窗控制功能。

Opt-Get 線上商城

現在可以直接從 xPUD 中透過線上商城 (雖然叫商城但是完全自由/免費) 直接下載安裝軟體外掛。舉例來說你想要裝 Dropbox，只要在 Opt-Get 介面當中點一下「Install」，就會自動下載、安裝、保留到下一次使用 (如果有儲存設定的話)。

當然你也可以先行下載這些外掛，儲存到 USB 隨身碟上的 opt/ 資料夾，開機的時候就會自動安裝。

系統更新與新的檔案分頁

這個版本使用 Ubuntu 9.10 的套件庫與 Linux Kernel 2.6.31，還有包括越南語在內的 15 種不同語言支援。現在我們已經內建 Xorg 和 PCManFM 了，移植到 ARM 與 MIPS 平台的工作也都已經完成。

已知問題

畢竟還是個開發中版本，有些問題如下：

Windows 的安裝程式只能裝到第一個磁區 (C:\xpud)，所以如果你有隱藏磁區 (比如說 OEM 的備份還原區) 的話可能會爆炸
某些 Broadcom BCM43XX 的網卡需要額外下載韌體，但是沒有韌體就沒辦法上網下載...總之有個指令叫 get_b43_firmware 可以幫忙下載
這個版本的 Xorg 把大部分的加速驅動程式 (DRI/DRM) 都拿掉了，我們會另外包一個「3D 加速支援」的 Opt 外掛，如果你的螢幕解析度不對，試試看用比如說 screen=1024x768 參數在開機的時候指定
捲頁控制功能現在只有基本視窗管理，有時候還怪怪的。但下一版會繼續改進

敬請回報錯誤到追蹤系統，我們會努力把它們修好。

特別感謝

從 2009 年六月開始我們就不斷的被報導並受邀成為研討會的講者，感謝各位給我們這個機會！

另外要特別感謝主要的開發團隊成員 Vaidotas Kazla "joshas"、新加入的 Fulvio Chionetti "kionez"、掌管論壇與文件的 Tristan Velter "tvelter" 與越南語翻譯者 Hai Le 和許許多多從論壇和 IRC 頻道來的幫助，你們是最棒的！
