Please fill in everything you think the community should know. On 25th June this content will be moved to http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Community_Updates/June_25%2C_2009, FEEL FREE TO DO IT on 25th, also post a note on the community mailing list!

Period May 22nd to June 25th, 2009

Important

FIXME, I'm placing this here as evidence of such important things, please reorganize, complete and above all, correct my English.

On June 2nd, Sean Moss-Pultz (CEO of OpenMoko Inc.) announced a major change in the OpenMoko world: the development of open phones was discontinued by Openmoko Inc. It will be assigned to the Community, so everybody is called to participate in this big challenge: make the project survive and grow!

The complete transition will happen in the coming months.

In the mean time Openmoko is beginning to move on the new course, the FSO team is looking for funding and continues development, we should expect the 5.5 release in a few days, the same for Paroli, 4 new developers are able to improve and maintain the kernel, but a lot of help is needed. Every contribution is important in order to realize the transition, so organization experts, developers, system administrators, testers, translators, wiki editors, all are welcome to get involved!

FIXME: I think it is not appropriate place to place "whish list" herein. "Community Updates" were designed to inform users and community of OM/FR about what is going on with OM/FR. This is not a discussion board to talk what would you like to have in your FR. According to above, "whishlist" should be transfered to another/new part of wiki, or to mailing list. Thus, if there will be no response for my consideration about this during next few days from author of this point, or from others, I intend to remove this point from wiki. LeadMan.
