History

Sean Moss-Pultz (CEO of Openmoko Inc.) decided that the best path foreword for the phone business is to turn the future of the Freerunner over to the community. (See the announce for all details)

In brief :

• The Neo Freerunner developpment is now fully holded by the Gta02-core project
• The community has permission to use the Openmoko brand/trademark for their efforts
• Openmoko Inc. will continue to provide funding for operating the infrastructure (Wiki, GIT, Trac, Planet, ...)

Wish List

List here for what kinds of things OM can do to smooth this transition.

• continue to funding the infrastructure
• promote and sell the Freerunner
• create the Openmoko foundation ?
