OpenMoko is the GNU/Linux distribution that runs on the free phone Neo FreeRunner from FIC. It is completely Free Software. Being able to completely control a cell phone gives new posibillities that people only dreamed of. Have you ever had a mobile phone where you have been annoyed by some of the functionality and thought: “If only I had the source code I could have fixed this annoying thing”? Then you are not alone. The phone Neo FreeRunner from FIC runs a completely free operating system. Because it is free it is possible try out completely new ideas – even ideas that the phone companies make no money from. The presentation will be about the possibilities and how you can take part in this revolution.
