Any linux kernel experience? The reason I ask this is because a lot of the work to get OM running on the EZX devices is hold back from the linux kernel support on this devices. I'm one of the core developer of OpenEZX and also the initial writer of the EZX porting idea on the wiki. The problem I see when looking backwards is that is more related to get the OpenEZX kernel into a better state then doing a lot OM work. A lot of the later is already given by using OpenEmbedded and the Angstrom distro. Real missing stuff is integration for dialer and audio pathes on the EZX devices and getting a lot more driver up and running so we actually can use more OM stuff. It also depends a lot on how many slots we will get from Google this year. Code that brings OM as platform forward shuld have higher priority. The reason behind this if of course that all parties can use this advantages. I don't try to discourage you here. still looking forward for a proposal for this. Just give you some more facts why this kind of application is a bit more difficult. > I'd like to discuss this in real-time a bit further prior to writing a > proposal.
