gammu.org - some period is closed
Like promised I have closed gammu.org in current form. Started 1 April 2005 under gammu.net address, in April 2006 was moved into current domain (gammu.org). First in the form of static pages, later created using MediaWiki. I was publishing there some non GSM texts too, tried to make some phone database with info about firmware changes, versions, pictures.... Big shame, but don't worry... What next ?English » Read more | 22032 reads |
Two interesting articles from last time: Microsoft: 30 Million Windows Phone 7 devices will be sold by the end of 2011 and Nokia top model N900 sales below 100,000: Gartner My answer: first is system, which will probably not have many features known from competitors. Second is system, which was not supported correctly by own manufacturer. How could you think, that they could be successful ? » Read more | 11819 reads |
July 2008 - Brad Brooks, Microsoft's VP of Windows Vista consumer marketing: "We broke a lot of things. We know that, and we know it caused you a lot of pain.

As you probably know, I'm hosting some content (articles, materials, etc.) on the gammu.org. Some time ago I have decided, that it's not updated from longer time and additionally MediaWiki is not developed too much. I have decided to make some reorganization:

During few last weeks I was working on refreshing this site. Yesterday I have decided, that beta version is "good enough" to be published. And here it is ! This is naturally not the end. In next days I will work on some pending minor things (like setting better categories for posts, improving formatting in some articles or adding some old articles/pages) and later create new articles and sections :) Any comments or suggestions ? » Read more | 9813 reads |

Content moved from gammu.org blog Few words from me... We're ending 2009 year. Some summary, plans and similar. I was thinking a lot about developing for Maemo 5 (Nokia N900) platform. Unfortunately, in my opinion this is wasting time in this moment (or at least I can't pay for it in 100% from my money). » Read more | 18912 reads |

Content moved from gammu.org blog Hi, In the time, when we have various widely commented things on the world (Olimpic Games in China, ACTA regulations about ending P2P, Microsoft Windows Vista), Gammu history still can continue (although it's difficult - see info here) and continues. Today there was released new release 0.40 for Gammu+. It brings new important features: English » Read more | 11011 reads |
Content moved from gammu.org blog I would like to speak shortly about differences between Gammu and Gammu+ now. This will be linked from main page. This is my opinion and you don't have to agree with it... First Gammu - released with GPL2 license is currently lead by Michal. Quite big and supporting many devices. You can have worse support in Windows than earlier and I don't like some things inside, but development goes forward. Michal will give probably also less for Nokia devices than I.

Content moved from gammu.org blog Gammu+ 0.38 is out. I have added configure script, which can enable Bluez AFTER USER ACTION. You have written many times, that source after patching is GPL2 licensed. Please note, that in my opinion it doesn't break GPL2 - if you will have patched source, you can remove Bluez driver (yes, this can be very easy separated) and release source under other license: "If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, English » Read more | 10499 reads |

Content moved from gammu.org blog Gammu+ 0.37 is ready. What can I say ? For example: you can make MMS receiving gateway with it now (tested on 6111). It's very close from the state, where will be rock stable, fast and will have support for all important functions. I estimate, that I will reach it in December. And what next ? I'm not sure. I have read about Nokia reactions for info about breaking Series 60 security. I'm not sure, if they will love software, which is faster/smaller/better than their own PC Suite. » Read more | 15902 reads |
Content moved from gammu.org blog And here it goes Gammu+ 0.36. Here is changelog + some my comments: * added daemon for receiving SMS/MMS to PostgreSQL database (you have new --smsmmsd option in CLI, preview in GUI, PHP preview and other...) I have tested it on 6230i and received SMS quite good. With MMS there was issue - if you try to get info about mms file, when it's received, firmware » Read more | 9878 reads |
Content moved from gammu.org blog Gammu+ becomes much more complex: I had played last times and worked on adding database support. And here are results: daemon for receiving SMS/MMS. It's working with free PostgreSQL database. Do you want to put your messages into it and read from www ? Yes, it's already done and will be in 0.36. If somebody will be interested, I could work on it and add also sending SMS from www (over such daemon) English » Read more | 11469 reads |
