Distributions
QtMoko [15+16]
QtMoko is stable distribution that combines Debian/Qtopia using QT 4.6 on framebuffer as toolkit. It has also compatibility layer for running X applications. This is mainly bug fixing release. I hope SMS receiving is now OK thanks to old patch from Mike Westerhof. Modem multiplexing can be now enabled. The kernel is latest andy-tracking and has FIFO fix from Thomas White which could give some more performance. Fso-keyring should give no more warnings when working with apt-get. Changes from version 14:

Community
Most important and change making mails on the mailing lists, blogs etc.. Coolest hacks, screenshots, themes etc..
- Michael Trimarchi has compiled frequency scaling and FCSE (Fast Context Switch Extension) from ARM mailing list into android-kernel. That is a great news, as it greatly improves performance with Android! For all interested, there is nice white paper. Not so fresh, but gives nice overview on how FCSE works on some ARMv5 architecture. Michael also mentioned that he tries to merge DRM and GLAMO mesa support soon.
- Werner Almesberger, one of most active gta02-core project contributors, wrote up a component situation update. These components are needed for making gta02-core project devices. In a short summary we should have many components, but some of them might be missing.
