</div>Hmm, would be nice to have OpenMoko running there too.<br>
Tomorrow I'll put our enterprise server into a data center, directly connected<br>
to the european backbone.<br>
My enterprise (<a href="http://www.o2s.ch" target="_blank">www.o2s.ch</a>) has decided to officialy support OpenMoko as a<br>
platform.<br>
We have some big customers ATM, which will need to have organizers, etc.<br>
So hopefully our activity will push the project (hardware and software) again.<br>
Tomorrow we will install our new server directly to one of the backbones in<br>
europe. With this emense uplink we can not only support OpenMoko by developing<br>
and selling devices to enterprises, but also can provide a free repository to<br>
the OpenMoko developers.<br>
Here in switzerland its more legere concerning the license and patent<br>
politics, so with this repo it will be possible to publish root images with<br>
included mp3-players and so on, again.<br>
I hope, this gift will be taken from the community thankfully.<br>

</div>I think we can use the software developed by your crew and port it to<br>
OpenMoko, yes.<br>
