It seems fate is not on our side this year - first OpenMoko's ceisure of handset making, then the oFono "thing" and now LinuxTag getting into some kind of commercialisation drift pushed by Messe Berlin. This beeing said I have to point out that the possibility of a half-way official meeting during LinuxTag is not very high anymore - but still not impossible! Messe Berlin have just announced to the LinuxTag orga group that they did quite dramatic cuts to the free and open parts of LinuxTag, namely the open source areas have been cut by about one third and - here comes our misery - the development center has been cut. This cause Mark Jung to step down as open source projects coordinator. This is pretty unfortunate. I am in contact with Messe Berlin and the LinuxTag team. Hopefully they will find an alternative arrangement. I told them what we have in mind. I will keep you updated as soon as I have news. > regards > Stefan Schmidt Cheers nils faerber -- kernel concepts GbR Tel: +49-271-771091-12 Sieghuetter Hauptweg 48 Fax: +49-271-771091-19 D-57072 Siegen Mob: +49-176-21024535 http://www.kernelconcepts.de _______________________________________________ smartphones-standards mailing list smartphones-standards@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/smartphones-standards
