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!
