+Introduction
+
+Who is speaking to you?
+
+ an independent Free Software developer, consultant and trainer
+ who is a member of the free software community for 10 years
+ who has worked a lot on the Linux kernel
+ who had originally started OpenEZX for Motorola phones
+ and who was Lead System Architect for OpenMoko until early November 2007
+
+Why is he speaking to you?
+
+ because every working day he suffers the lack of understanding between the community and the business world

+GSM Modem
+
+Closer look at the GSM Modem
+ Ti Calypso/Iota based chipset
+ As proprietary as any other phone
+ runs proprietary nucleus OS
+ runs proprietary GSM stack
+ Supports GSM voice/data/fax and GPRS
+ Quad-Band GSM
+ Very good TS 07.05 / 07.07 / 07.10 compliance
+ eveyone can download the protocol docs from ETSI.org
+ no user/hacker needs access to NDA'd documents

+Development Model
+
+Development Model
+ We actively contribute our code upstream
+ e.g. kernel goal: make vanilla 2.6.22 kernel have all drivers
+ Our build system is public
+ Everyone can rebuild everything
+ cross-toolchain
+ u-boot / kernel image
+ application/library packages
+ Based on OpenEmbedded (OE)

+Hackable Device
+
+Hackable Device
+ The device shall be under full user control
+ Everyone should be able to hack it, at any level
+ hardware hacking (i2c, spi, gpio on test pads / connector)
+ system-level hacking (bootloader, OS)
+ UI level hacking
+ Make entry barrier for development as easy as possible
+ bootloader prompt via USB serial emulation
+ Serial console
+ JTAG for the people
+ Provide Debug Board with embedded USB JTAG + serial adapter
+

+Standards compliance
+
+Standards compliance
+ We use open/documented/available standards wherever possible
+ Use official USB device firmware upgrade protocol
+ Have charger behave 100% to USB spec (100/500mA)
+ Use GSM chipset that follows GSM 07.07/07.10 closely
+

+User control
+
+User control
+ The phone needs to be under control of the user, and the free software he uses
+ Even backdoors or rogue GSM firmware shall not be able to intrude the privacy fo the user
+ So we e.g. put the Audio codec (under explicit control from the Linux-running AP) between microphone/speaker and the GSM modem
+ So we enable the Linux-running AP to cut power of the GSM modem
+ Thus, free software (and thus the user) remains in ultimate control

+GSM Integration
+
+Application Processor GSM integration
+ kernel line discipline implementation for GSM 07.10
+ userspace GSM daemon with unix domain socket
+ libgsmd with API for applications
+ lightweight, doesn't have _any_ dependencies aside from glibc
+ we're working on gobject integration on top
+ kernel part scheduled for mainline submission
+ will support different phones / gsm chipsets
+ Various HTC devices with Linux
+ Motorola EZX phones using OpenEZX

+Difference
+
+Difference from other Linux phones
+ 'others' discourage third parties from writing apps
+ you need explicit permission? WTF!
+ 'others' try to make customers pay for a device that's still under manufacturer / GSM operator control
+ 'others' use proprietary kernel modules
+ locks you into some old kernel version
+ 'others' use proprietary bootloaders
+ 'others' dont give you JTAG/serial access
+ 'others' use proprietary UI toolkits
+ vendor lock-in
+ 'others' dont give out their build system
+ 'others' dont give out their firmware update tools
