linux

As you might know (or not know), MoSync has had Moblin v2 support for a while now. Unfortunately, I have been the only one that had access to it. But I am glad to announce that the next stable release which is to be released quite soon, is going to have support for Moblin v2 devices. The reason that it hadn't been released earlier was that I did not have a good way of creating Moblin packages (deb and rpm) on windows and my thought was that there has to be a simpler way to creating Linux packages on windows then writing code for it yourself.

Let me begin with introducing myself, my name is Ali Mosavian, I am Software Engineer at Mobile Sorcery and head of Linux platforms. I've been into software development seriously for around 11 years now and done pretty much everything in this field. I started out in QBasic and learnt to program by using the "online" (as in, in-editor) help. That was a wonderful language/tool, but the problem was that you couldn't actually create compiled executables. So when I discovered QuickBasic 4.5, which could actually compile code, all my programming problems were solved, or so I thought.
