+* Title:
+ Towards the first 100% free software GSM phone
+
+* Subtitle:
+ Reverse Engineering the Motorola EZX (A768,A780,E680) series of Linux-based GSM phones
+
+* Abstract:
+ This presentation describes the progress of hacking and extending the
+ Motorola series of Linux based Smartphones, with the ultimate goal to
+ replace all proprietary applications with 100% free software.
+
+* Description:
+ A longer and detailed description of the event's content (250 to 500 words)
+ It's been two years since Motorola has released the first Linux
+ Smartphone (A768). More recently, two new models were introduced, the
+ A780 and the E680, the former even officially distributed in Germany
+ and all over the EU.
+
+ What's so special about a Linux based smartphone? It's special because
+ the Linux kernel acts as an enabler for 3rd party hacks and 3rd party
+ software, like it can be observed with the OpenWRT, OpenTom,
+ NSLU2-Linux, OpenEmbedded, OpenZaurus and other similar projects.
+
+ The author of this presentation has sucessfully obtained "telnet"
+ access to an A780 cellphone, built a matching cross-compilation
+ toolchain and installed various applications for debugging, such as
+ busybox, iptables, nmap, lsof, strace, etc.
+
+ While re-engineering efforts are still in a early stage, work is
+ proceeding extremely fast, and important pieces such as the protocol
+ between the PXA270 frontend processor and the ARM7TDMI GSM processor
+ have already been partially re-engineered. The project is expected to
+ progress significantly until 22C3.
