December 9th, 2007 — Experiences, MobMe, Mobile, Wifi Mesh Networking
The event got over today, but the fun continues.
The first thing I learned is that India can be the heaven of Free and Open Source Software. There are too many developers wanting to contribute. And they will if someone shows them how to get started. Then again Evangelisation…
Javascript is going to become the language that dominates light weight application development. XML is here to stay, and is going to be seen in various usage scenarios. I decided to brush up my scripting knowledge.
Got inspired by the mozilla talks and decided to do a do a mozilla application for FastAlerts and Mobshare. This will help the users navigate the user interface better. Also it will help increase the usage.
Wireless Mesh Networks are evolving into a much more reliable and secure technology. In India the adoption rate is very low for community networks (are indians afraid of sharing). Bangalore will soon see its first mesh setup and I am going to be a part of the team.
Many FOSS developers are now focusing on embedded and mobile development. It gives them more freedom and satisfaction. Mobiles are a better playground cos its largely unexplored and it offers much technology freedom than a normal computer. Openmoko, Openembedded, Android, Qtopia etc are going to dominate this.
The future will see more of software than of hardware. GNURadio project aims to make all communication infrastructure to consist of a standard hardware and different software for different applications. Its like you have a device and you can load various softwares to make it act like an FM radio, tv receiver, GSM phone etc. I didnt understand more…. I wish I had taken that Ham License while in college.
And on the final day met up with Rasmus Lerdorf, the guy who created PHP. I had a strange feeling when I met him, felt like I was talking to some film star. He maintains the php.net website and all its subdomains with around 1200 CVS users actively contributing to the project.
Then had chance to see and use the 100$ laptop. Amazing stuff, cleverly designed for kids. Only kids can use it cos its too small for a normal person to use. Also had a discussion about FOSS and education. FOSS fits into my Technology Evangelisation strategy. To tell you the truth, Im technology neutral.

I was training the google mobile maps yesterday at various places in cochin and everything was smooth and ok until today morning. I am now on my way back to Trivandrum in a train and I decided to train the maps along the way. Now it seems there is a small bug.
I pressed the mylocation button [0] at north station and it was perfect. The blue dot that indicates my location was upon North station itself. Now the train started moving and it reached South Station. Then again I pressed the my location button. But the map started scrolling and ended up in some place near Munnar. I tried again and again and the same result. Now munnar is more than 200 Kilo meters from this place. Is this a bug ? If anyone from google is seeing this, please report.
Now as the train started moving again the app is saying that your location is not currently available.
Then I reached Kollam, and the location started saying I somewhere in London. Ahhh this is making me crazy.

Google launched their V 2.0 of google maps mobile and its super cool. It can find your approximate location with out using GPS. It now uses tower location information for this purpose. Try it now.
Download the app on your mobile from www.google.com/gmm
Now this is not a new idea. There are similar applications available that continuously learns from the tower data. The google video about google mobile maps 2.0 says that your location sensing capabilities increases as you use it more often. Im wondering how they are doing this ?
I downloaded the application on an N93 and Its has improved a lot form the previous version. The navigation has become smoother. I also felt that the maps are loading much faster. So I recommend everyone to download this and give it a try.
