How Maemo SDK VM impacts on Maemo programming workshops

raulherbster | 25 May, 2009 02:13

Hi,

The Maemo Eclipse Integration 2nd Edition Beta 1 was just released!, including Maemo SDK Virtual Image 2nd Beta 1, which is available at http://maemovmware.garage.maemo.org/beta1.

I've been remembering about Mobility Weeks promoted by INdT through several cities of Brazil. Specially, the hard work that I often faced to configure several machines with Maemo development environment. Of course, everything should be properly configured to avoid potential problems during workshops :)

About 1 year ago, Maemo SDK Virtual Image wasn't stable enough to be used on such scenario: if any problem had happened, I wouldn't have had time to solve it and precious minutes would have been lost to fix such problem during workshops.

But today, Maemo SDK Virtual Image is stable enough and it can used on any Maemo programming workshop. Since it contains all components for Maemo programming (Scratchbox, Maemo SDK, ESbox, PC-Connectivity, etc.), all you need to do is:

  • Install any virtualization tool: VMWare, VirtualBox and QEMU
  • Download and decompress Maemo SDK Virtual Image
  • "Play" your virtual image and start Maemo development!
Maemo SDK Virtual Machine solves a lot of problems. For example, consider that you have to configure about 30 machines on a university lab for a Maemo programming workshop. I always had the same problem: the lab admin didn't want to give me superuser privileges (we need it to install Scratchbox!), some machines had Windows installed, the disk didn't have disk space to install Maemo programming environment, etc.

If I had had Maemo SDK Virtual Image, I certainly wouldn't have too many problems to configure several machines. The only problem would be install a virtualization tool and deploy Maemo SDK Virtual Image.

Anyway, it is a dream that came true :)

Raul Herbster.
