Hello OpenMoko community,

As Sean mentioned in introducing us to you, one of our primary responsibilities will be to support you, the OpenMoko community developers. This includes keeping you informed of our schedule, and getting accurate information to you via the mailing lists, wiki, and website, and in person at conferences, LUG meetings, and other formal and informal gatherings.

We aim to provide updates every couple of weeks.

We have spent some time getting briefed by the OpenMoko staff in Taiwan, and here is our first update:

GTA01:
------

We have made a short run of additional GTA01 units, primarily to satisfy the backlog. These phones have been built and left the factory September 26, with an expected arrival in Fremont is Oct 3. Shipping should start at the end of the same week. In most cases it takes one week from our shipping center to you.

GTA02:
------

We are entering the last phases of finalizing the design. From this point forward there are three key milestones in the life of a hardware platform: Prototype runs; a pilot run; and mass production. We have made three prototype runs to test various subsystems. Our best case analysis of the schedule indicates that GTA02 will be ready for shipment to end users in early to mid December.


We have heard and understand (and feel) the frustration in the developer community with the difficulty in communication. This is due to a lack of resources, and not a lack of intention. By hiring us, Sean has shown his commitment to the community. Our goal will be to end this frustration.

Sincerely,

Joachim "Roh" Steiger
Michael Shiloh
