Getting Android SDK to work with Fedora 10
Just thought I pass this little bit of information on. Fedora 10 (and Ubuntu also) is a little screwy when it comes to connecting the ADP1 device to Eclipse for testing.
Any USB device automatically gets connected as read-only which means the adb server and Eclipse won´t see the device when you plug it in.
This post gives a little information on how to fix it.
The idea is to create a rules file that listens for the Android device and sets the permissions differently. The rules are all located under /etc/udev/rules.d. So in detail,
Create a new rule for Android devices
vi /etc/udev/rules.d/99-android.rules
Add the following code
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4",SYMLINK+="android_adb",MODE="0666"
And run
udevcontrol reload_rules
Plug it in and it should work.

Reminder for MobileMonday
Just a reminder that MobileMonday is tonight at 6pm at Kits.
I'll be doing a live demo of the development process for the Android OS and I'll post the summary online in the next couple of weeks.
Come down for a beer and some mobile development. See you there.
MobileMonday Opens the 71st Chapter in Calgary
The global MobileMonday group officially gave the blessing to establish the 71st Chapter of MobileMonday for Southern Alberta as of lastWednesday night.
To kick things off we opened a Ning website to handle all the details about the organization. You can get to the site via http://mobilemondaycalgary.ning.com/. The site provides a great way to network with other members of the mobile community and to find out more information about the upcoming events.
Second, our first event is JAN 12, 2009 at Kits at 6pm.
View Larger Map
We will be running the event in the basement and it makes for a great venue location.
And finally, I'm sure you are all excited that I will be making a presentation at the meeting. I haven't finalized a topic yet but I'm waffling between doing an Android demonstration or presenting one of our new applications (probably Snocator). If you have any recommendations or suggestions let me know.
See you Jan 12.
Mobile Monday in Calgary
I just finished a meeting with the "founders" to try to launch Mobile Monday Calgary Chapter.
Mobile Monday is a global community of mobile industry visionaries, developers and influentials fostering cooperation and cross-border business development through virtual and live networking events to share ideas, best practices and trends from global markets.
With a little bit of effort and luck we will be able to launch the Calgary Chapter in the new year. Post a note in the comments if you want me to keep you up to date on the latest status.
