''For previous updates go to [[Community_Updates|Community Updates]]''
Hi:
Here is the tenth community update.
First of all, I will like to thank [[User:MinhHaDuong|Minh]] for contributing so many updates in the past.
Community updates are extremely important to Openmoko; therefore, I will pursue this tradition.
I may not write as well as Minh. So, please give me any feedback/comments that you may have.
And, if I miss some details, please feel free to complete it to make it better.
==Distribution status update==
* [[SHR]]-XMPP works on XMPP. - the light version that ships with pidgin.
* [[Distributions#Connectivity|Gentoo]] GPRS, GPS and WIFI conectivity is working now. But not through the UI.
* [[Android]]-[http://lists.openmoko.org/nabble.html#nabble-td2162618 New Android prebuild version ready ]. It suports wifi, bluetooth, gsm call (new binary library from Sean McNeil),suspend better performance and fix a panic if you press aux button during suspend.
* On January 20th the Openmoko testing builds have been suspended (as planned).
==Application information update ==
[[ShortOm]]-Application and shell launcher, with editable config file, and log result page.
[[Dhmoko]]-From January 1st to May 3rd you can see and touch 2 Openmoko Freerunners in the DHM (Deutsches Historisches Museum in Berlin!). They serve as faked cellphones to control a sms-chatwall in the exhibition "Die Sprache Deutsch".
[[ZOMG!]]-Fixed one critical bug which could break opkg feeds (don't panic). If this happens it can easily be undone, by hand-checking the feeds you edited (The only way this could have happened to you is if you have edited the feed-title, but not the feed (file)name).
[[Tichy]]-Tichy is currently unmaintained. People should use [[Paroli]] instead. The paroli project is mainly based on tichy and all changes to tichy are done in paroli repository.
[[Yaouh!]]-Yaouh! (Yet Another Osm Updater H) is an utility for update maps of TangoGPS. It checks the md5 sum of remote and local files, if they are different the files are updated. Its retrieves the local storage path from the TangoGPS config. For now OSM maps are supported only.
[[Pimlico]]- Pimlico is a suite of lightweight Personal Information Management (PIM) applications designed primarily for handheld and mobile devices. Now this is apparently available as openmoko-contacts2, openmoko-dates2
and openmoko-tasks2 - although only old versions. No up-to-date binaries are available for the OpenMoko. For more information, please see http://www.pimlico-project.org/.
[[MBAC]]-a simple porting of Bulls and Cows, game similar to Mastermind.
[http://filmsbykris.com/freerunner-debian/ko-user/ko-dice.tar.gz Dice Rolling game]- Written by kris Occhipinti. The game is programmed in Python, just shake the phone and it rolls 2 dice using random numbers.

Please help him testing the new driver which comes with linux 2.6.28 (FSO MS5 will include this new version).
