Hi Guys.
I’m part of a very little Gooooogle Group (only 5 members) discussing about an interesting project, PySync.

I’ll not go in details (everything is in the “3″ discussions inside the group), but some interesting ideas are “popping-out”.

Share if you have something to.

Edit: Added a link to the Google Group of the project of Mal about the sync-stuff. It’s name is PySync.

Yesterday I went with a collegue (thank you Serage, particularly for the pictures ) to this event that the Google’s London Office sort twice (or more?) a year. Google London Open Source Jam.

I went for one main reason and other two minors (and… I didn’t know that the most important was another one ):

1. The Topic
2. To take a look to the Google Office in London (very very close to Victoria Station)
3. Free Food (very nice pizza )

(What’s the “main one” is up to you… ).

The Topic

This time, our topic of interest is Mobile.

1. Linux on phones
2. JavaME vs JavaSE vs .NET CF vs Native
3. Browser technologies: AJAX and Flash
4. Building native apps that port to multiple architectures
5. Open platforms (e.g. OpenMoko)
6. Cross platform testing
7. Making the most of mobile hardware (camera, voice, bluetooth, GPS, etc)
8. Phone bling

Ieri sono passato, come di consueto, su OSS|Blog.it e cosa ci trovo? Un brevissimo articolo su alcuni commenti che Nigel Clifford, CEO di Symbian, ha fatto su Linux e sul mercato degli smartphone con i piedi palmati.

Ho provato ad inserire la mia risposta sul relativo post… ma niente. Dice che sto spammando. Quindi… provvedo a farlo da qui.

Allora.
Prima di essere assunto da Symbian, quando iniziai a studiarne la tecnologia e il Sistema Operativo, mi domandai come diavolo facevano a vendere una cosa così: Niente Eccezioni (Leave), niente (o quasi) thread (Active Objects), niente POSIX (almeno fino a quando mi hanno assunto, che è coinciso con il rilascio di P.I.P.S.), e… niente STL (ma staremo a vedere ancora per quanto ).

In English: At my Resume Page you can find an updated version of my CV (New Symbian Employement and ASD Certification).

In Italiano: Alla mia Pagina Resume potete trovare la versione aggiornata del mio CV (Nuovo impiego in Symbian e Certificazione ASD).

Guys, it’s time.
If someone want to apply, as Graduate or (better) as Professional… it is a pleasure for me to do.
Actually I’m thinking about:
- Alexa
- Faucho
- Ugo

Other good candidates, but that I think not interested are:
- SbatMan
- Biondo
- Eligio
- Nemo
- Ayor
- Luke

But, if someone wants to apply, let me know.
Go on http://www.symbian.com/about/careers/index.html for more details and vacancies. The Graduate program is the same I did… and can be a good idea for you too.

What do you need? To be:
- A good programmer
- Smart
- Understand and Speak a minimum of English
- C++, also basically (for Graduates)… but Intelligently (Do you see what I mean?)
- Understand a minimum of how an Operating System work

Let me know.
It’s not a Joke: for you it can be future, for me can be Money (I ear up to £2000 if they take you )

ps. This is ONLY for people that I know “physically”, sorry

Updated 2007-05-25:

1. I forget to add Ayor and Luke.
2. The Graduate Program starts on September/October: just sign it on the Calendar, prepare a beautiful CV, study Symbian OS (I can give you details on books (and pdfs…)) and try Carbide.C++ 1.2 from the Nokia Website. I’ll take you informed.
