Shared Harmattan space on github

Thomas Perl has formed a Harmattan organization on github to help collect the Harmattan-related projects on there in a single place. I've created a "harmattan" organization on github where I'll put all the open source apps that I write/wrote for Harmattan. I've invited other developers to do the same, so it's easier to find projects and collaborate. If you think that's a good idea, feel free to give me your github username, and I'll add you to the organization. I've already moved some of my apps there, and hope to see more stuff there soon It will hopefully increase visibility of source repositories for packages on apps.formeego.org (which currently doesn't have a feature to list and/or display the repository URL for packages uploaded there).

Open source replacements of Fremantle's hald-addon-bme and libbmeipc

Via: @Jaffa2

Ivaylo Dimitrov has pieced together information on two very low-level components on Fremantle: Based on the information [by Jonathan Wilson] and some additional information from Mer libbmeipc replacement I wrote a semi-working libbmeipc & hald-addon-bme. libbmeipc just needs to read temperature to be fully functional as replacement. hald-addon-bme is still missing charger support. Anyway, it could be easily added if the kernel provides it. [...] I hope there will be some interest for full implementation and improvements of BME replacement libraries/binaries.
