Wow, is it really 10 years? > Von: Belisko Marek <marek.beli...@gmail.com> > > http://laforge.gnumonks.org/blog/20160920-openmoko_10years/
yes it is 10 years! The first time I heard about Openmoko was through an invitation to some telecoms conference in London where there was an N.N. person presenting a talk about some exciting new mobile phone. Unfortunately I wasn't able to attend this conference. It turned out that it was the announcement of the Openmoko GTA01 by Sean Moss-Pultz. And this was just weeks before Apple announced the first iPhone in January 2007. Back then Openmoko project was welcome by the press and found quite some coverage: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/10/technology/personaltech/10phone.html Sinc eit is really 10 years, let's celebrate this also with our www.ohsw.org event in less than 2 weeks in Garching near Munich :) And let's try even harder to disprove Harald's statement: "We're stuck with a smartphone world in which we can hardly escape any vendor lock-in. It's virtually impossible in the non-free-software iPhone world, and it's difficult in the Android world. In 2016, we have more Linux based smartphones than ever - yet we have less freedom on them than ever before." Projects like Replicant, Pyra, Neo900, GTA04A5 are still inhabitants of the small Gaulish village teasing the Roman empire :) BR, Nikolaus _______________________________________________ Community mailing list Community@openphoenux.org http://lists.goldelico.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/community http://www.tinkerphones.org
