</div>Aware of it? You must be kidding.<br>
Pretty much everybody at Openmoko, including Sean our beloved leader,<br>
reads the mailing lists. All mailing lists.<br>
Then we have internal mailing lists, and if you could see what's going<br>
on there right now, rest assured there are 5-10 people working on<br>
tracking down the GPS bug, and other bugs, right now.<br>
Software fixes, hardware fixes. Shipped units, units currently in<br>
production, future production runs. All require different approaches<br>
and all of this is being addressed.<br>
The idea that the GPS problems might be related to SD card presence<br>
was a fantastic idea, and coming from our community!<br>
<br>
After the gta02 release dust settles, I will take another look at how<br>
we can make our internal communication more public. It's all too easy<br>
that good things are going on and people don't know about.<br>
Expect to see more in the coming days.<br>
Best Regards,<br>
