+Presentation Proposal for ELCE 2010
+
+Name of Presenter: Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>
+
+Title: Implmementing a Free Software telephone-side GSM protocol stack
+
+Presentation may be published: Yes
+Presentation may be video-recorded + published: Yes
+
+Brief Abstract:
+
+Recent years have seen a remarkable increase in Free Software running on
+smartphones.  However, all such software is designed to run on the Application
+Processor (AP) only.  The actual GSM protocol stack and RF Modem drivers are
+running as firmware on a completely different processor: The Baseband Processor
+(BP).
+
+OsmocomBB is a project developing the worlds first Free Software GSM protocol
+stack for the mobile phone side.  It includes the hardare drivers for one
+particular GSM baseband processor chipset and replaces the vendor-provided
+firmware on compatible chipsets/phones.
+
+The presentation will introduce the challenges of doing this development in
+the environment of the arguably most closed part of the semiconductor industry,
+describe the software architecture and give a practical demonstration.
