Fwd: [Qgis-developer] Qgis for Openmoko ?

[Joseph Reeves]

Hi Marco,

Thanks for this information - all looks very interesting. I had
previously mentioned to this list about running QGIS on the Openmoko,
but didn't have the skills to make it happen myself. I look forward to
trying out your version.

You're right, Nokia have dropped QT Extended, but it seems to have
been kept afloat (for now) by the community as the snappily titled QT
Extended Improved:

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Qt_Extended_4.4.3

It would be interesting to see this running on the more mainstream
distributions, however.

Cheers, Joseph
