QNX developer community

In article <9ulgtf$npi$1@nntp.qnx.com>, hblentic@qnx.com says…

Welcome aboard Haris!

In your mind, what makes a good on-line community?
What are some of your favourite on-line developer portals? Why?
What portion(s) of the QDN website (qdn.qnx.com) do you find most/least
useful for helping you in your development?
What would you like to see more/less of in QDN (eg. would you like to see
more interaction with other users)?
What do you find QNX can do to improve the developer perception of QNX?
These are some questions - feel free to add your comments and expand as you
see fit. Send me your feedback, your suggestions, and anything you’d like to
see change as we start this process. Your input is incredibly valuable in
making this happen!

I am not really sure how to answer all of your questions.

Some input coming, however:

One of the biggest things that QNX can do (IMHO) at the moment to improve
developer perception, is to be more responsive about questions asked
through the developer “channels” - under NDA, etc.,
I have a number of questions, issues, etc., still outstanding for some
time. Cannot go in to too much detail about what they are here (NDA and
all)
We are an “Alliance Partner” or something like that, and have been for
some time. I keep getting polite talk on the phone, but no real action.
I realize that a lot of this is that you are somewhat “victims of your
own success” and have not enough manpower to keep up, but I have been
getting the impression that I am getting nowhere with requests to QNX for
support. Not on the technical, problem solving issues - support is
reasonable there. But on issues to do with obtaining documentation,
source code, and questions to do with what is allowable under the NDA,
and what is not - things like that…

Thanks Stephen for the feedback. It is one of my mandates here at QNX to
have these types of
issues smoothed out and addressed under a more automated process of
information delivery via QDN. Any specific questions or suggestions, please
just send them my way.

best regards
Haris

The primary reason for providing this is due to the fact that other than
tin, there are no real news-reader solutions for QNX6. Vmail is not
stable enough to accomodate this, and we feel it is crucial to the QNX
community to have everyone with access to those groups.

While I don’t disagree with having an HTML portal, it is inaccurate to
state that tin is the only newsreader for QNX6. I am typing this from
Netscape, and it seems to work reasonably well (for a 0.94 release). It
is certainly stable enough to accomodate participation in newsgroups.

[Bill_Caroselli1]

Will this Netscape handle both news and e-mail?

If so, where can I download it from?

Speaking about community, I believe it must reach certain size before it can
really work. I don’t think ‘QNX community’ is there yet, although it seems
to be getting there.

I think a site like sourceforge would help quite a bit, although running it
would be quite a bit of efforts, of course. Of course QDN has links to some
QNX-related sites, but that’s not enough for self-sustained growth. Somehow
there are much less links there than useful pages, mostly because many of
those pages are not really full-fledged ‘sites’, rather just personal pages
with bits & pieces.

Having personal pages might be really better. There used to be developers’
personal pages and they were getting rather popular before they were
suddenly pulled out. I think that was bad move. I wish they were back and
more than that, there should be sort of ‘who is who’ page, with links. And
it (both links page and storage) should be open to outside people on
condition of providing useful content.

Basically, my idea is that community is made by people, not by ‘sites’.

good luck,

Hello,

I’ve just joined QNX as a manager of the QNX Developer’s Community - my
job
is to make sure your needs as developers are being properly met through
QNX
programs and initatives. This includes listening to your needs as
developers and ensuring that we have the right “stuff” in place to support
you.

For some background info, I’ve been in DSP tools development for Texas
Instruments for a number of years so the embedded world is not new to me,
but the QNX aspect of it is. I’d like us to work together as developers
and
exchange ideas in what we can do to further foster a great developer
community. As a start, I’d appreciate your taking a bit of time in
answering
some questions about the on-line QNX developer’s network (QDN.QNX.COM) as
it
is today - your feedback will serve to improve your (and your customers’)
experiences with a growing network of QNX developers/experts…

In your mind, what makes a good on-line community?

IMHO running the site is not an issue … providing a useful contens is
the real effort. It would be nice to get sometimes a bit of feedback …
just to correct or enhance the contens.

Of course QDN has links to some QNX-related sites,

Sourcforge is not a QNX-related site … there are only few QNX related
projects of 30.500 of not to QNX related projects.

None of the QNX projects are listed at QDN until now … why ??

I don’t run a ‘personal’ page … everyone is invited to be a member of
the PyQNX and OpenQNX projects, just to provide useful contens … or
build a useful HTML-page

And BTW … sourceforge is a real STRONG and STABLE BASE for a QNX
community site.

Having personal pages might be really better.

QSSL should build at first internally a developer community which
provides useful contens at ONE SINGLE home page.

That’s like the chicken/egg problem … sites are the meeting points for
people and meeting points are the catalysts for building communities.

The purpose, maybe, the reality, not sure. I had some examples for those the R&D
developer’s corner packages was not ‘up to date’.
Anyway, I think that their directories could contain some ‘personal’
developments they don’t want to put in the ‘official’ QNX repository. They can
belong to the community apart from QNX, not only to supply packages.

What portion(s) of the QDN website (qdn.qnx.com) do you find most/least
useful for helping you in your development?
What would you like to see more/less of in QDN (eg. would you like to see
more interaction with other users)?
What do you find QNX can do to improve the developer perception of QNX?

Just as an idea: QDN aka QNX Developers Network is fine for developers but
only for today at #qnx channel question “how can i incompress .zip/.tgz file
?” was asked three or more times by different incomming users. So maybe QUN
aka QNX Users Network would be also usefull ? As minimum in form of FAQ
with list of really frequently asked questions and easy answers. Folks
just want to uncompress files nothing more

Previously, Igor Kovalenko wrote in qdn.public.qnxrtp.advocacy:

Such projects are practically invisible, unless there will be really
working directory service on QNX web site.

The developerZone on qnxZone will address this. The initial plans for
developerZone include a project repository, as well as a section for
conceptual designs (ie. project ideas / concepts). While this will not
provide the same capabilities as soureforge, it will allow for the
simple tracking of bugs, actions/to do lists, as well as provide a list
of participating users and allow for a link to a sourceforge site (or
any particular site) that is used for the project.

Sourceforge also explicitly does not allow any personal content. May be you
don’t care, but I’d be interested in knowing personal background (which they
care to publish) of people I am dealing with in the ‘community’.

Once again, qnxZone will address this. We will be providing a certain
amount of space for each user to publish a short “bio” on themselves, as
well as providing an optional URL to their own personal home page (if
they have one and want to share that info).

So what exactly is wrong with having a directory service for people in the
community at obvious place such as QSSL web page?

Nothing, and I hope that QSSL eventually provides this. I think the
benefits of having a community site that is not officially run by QSSL
has some significant benefits as well. There is some content that is
not beneficial for QSSL to host and/or publish. This could include
software packages that might represent a “legally grey” issue such as
some of the P2P software. It could also include information that if
published by QSSL could be suspected of having been censored (ie. only
good reviews appear, comparisions or benchmarks that are unfavorable).
While I personally feel that QSSL has the integrity to refrain from
censorship of this sort, anything posted on their corporatly hosted site
could potentially be regarded by some in this light.

Haris has made a commitment to work with the developers of qnxZone, and
I think that together QDN and qnxZone will compliment each other very
well. I look forward to the future of the online community, and hope
that we can all help build the community and make it stronger together.

Cheers,
Camz.

Hi Haris…

Welcome.


I wonder if you could get a target release date for upgrades posted on
the qdn site? There are a number of issues that the developers tell us
are fixed in the next release (whatever that release might be -6.1.1
today-), and we would like to tell our customers and fellow developers
when they can expect a new release of our products (we - SAIC - do have
development seats by the way).

For example, will there be a holiday gift with the release of 6.1.1? I
hope so, and it seems that some others do as well.

Regards…

Miguel.

keep you posted on the progress…As for the 6.1.1 gift, you’ll have to
wait for the first quarter of 02…we wanna make sure that we have the
‘ultimate’ 6.1.1 gift for you!
