Looking for a ModemManager logo
Hey designers!
ModemManager (a.k.a “MM“) is a small daemon which takes care of controlling your broadband devices in your GNU/Linux system. We currently don’t have a logo for ModemManager, so if you’re a designer with some free time, share your ideas! Something simple, similar to the NetworkManager logo would be great, actually.

ModemManager is small? I tried to cross compile it for my OpenWrt box and it ran into the corner and cried for hours. A 500KB daemon depending on 1MB of libraries is enormous by other metrics😛
We (just) depend on GLib/GIO, GDBus and GUdev🙂
Would you recommend trying out what’s in trunk (err… master)? I see you’ve basically rewritten most of ModemManager😀
Also, any tips on getting the size down? Is it possible to only build particular plugins? In OpenWrt it’s simple to only package up desired plugins, but if I can save the compilation time then that would be most excellent!
Also, I saw your QMI branch of OpenWrt and I got excited. Thanks for your work!
ModemManager in git master is currently kind of unstable, even if there are real world users already out there, like Chromium/ChromeOS. So, yeah, you can use it, although you may find sporadic issues here and there.
For getting the size down; you can definitely package plugins in different packages.
And for the QMI branch of OpenWRT… stay tuned, I’ll be blogging about that next week🙂
