Re: future phones that you can hack. news.

2009-11-18 Thread Vasco Névoa
I do understand the skepticism, but thinking about the apparent success 
a pseudo-open platform like Android is having near the manufacturers and 
users, I'd say there is a very good chance something groundbreaking (in 
terms of market attitude) may actually happen. Android is fierce 
competition, and others may take the plunge into openness just to 
fight it. It's a lesser evil choice for the manufacturers (or in this 
case, a lesser potential for losses in the near future).

Carry on, people!! :)
Just don't let them twist your values. ;)

My personal hope is, that they unexpectetly change to OpenMoko, and just are 
inspiring the Enlightenment people to optimize theire desktop better for 
mobile devices.
But such hopes are totaly unrealistic... I know.
There was only one FIC, and it didn't work very well. :-(

OpenMoko-Logo in SVG

2009-11-18 Thread David Lanzendörfer
Hi Folks.
Some guys from the SHR-developer team and me got some place in the chaos 
communication congress to represent our project there.
Now I'd like to print some T-Shirts, which will make us recognicible as such 
developers.
For the T-Shirts I'd like to use the good old, old school OpenMoko logo.
http://blog.chip.de/chip-linux-blog/files/2007/07/openmoko_logo2.png
Does someone have the SVG files for this logo lie around on his hd?
Or does someone have a link to these files?
Would be nice, if you could post/send me the link/file.
