iLiad source codes released – part 1

Wed Oct 22, 2008 Karel, Community Manager

Today we have taken the next step in turning the iLiad platform into a true open source platform. By publishing our source codes we aim to encourage third party development on the iLiad platform.

The sources that were release today are:

  • contentLister
  • displayMgr
  • erbrowser
  • liberdm
  • libergtk
  • liberipc
  • libermanifest
  • libberregxml
  • liberscribble.

You can find the sources here.

Next week we will release the remaining source codes in a second step. These will be:

The Witches trailer

  • pageBar
  • powerMgr
  • scribble
  • settings
  • connectionMgr
  • Kernel Drivers  (delta, buttons and battery)

We are very excited about taking this step to turn the iLiad into an open platform and we look forward to see the first applications appear on the iLiad platform. In order to help things get started, I am happy to announce that we will donate 5 iLiad readers to OpenIliad.com

to support their development projects.

Happy coding!

    Karel,

    An amazing move, one which has given me confidence that not only can iRex release great hardware, but also that they listen to their users and act decisively. Thankyou, initially I was going to upgrade to the new device, now I am going to keep the Iliad and get one of the new units!

    [...] Technologies, het Eindhovense bedrijf achter de e-reader iLiad, heeft de software van de Iliads nu open source gemaakt. Dat is goed nieuws voor wie er eentje heeft, want het betekent dat programmeurs zelf applicaties [...]

    Thank you Irex! This community involvement is the new way of doing business and customers can directly help you and the community in improving your products!

    You didn’t, nor have you made any further comment, nor have you replied to the people in the forums asking about your new schedule.

    I think that is rude.

    Hi all,

    I am a regular user of an iliad (its 2nd generation) and very curious to learn if anybody is working on improving the illiad’s software or not… Irex seems to be talking most about the new 1000; and everybody else is talking about the Kindle. I still think the iliad has great features and would love for it to be further improved. Unfortunately I am not much of a programmer (yet); is anything happening? (other than on openiliad.com)

    Thanks!
    Joep

    Hey just a heads up, I wanted to let everyone know that Xio Dibin speaks English. I hope I posted in the right location?
