OpenMoko codesprint at FSCONS, 24th Oct

[Mirko Lindner]

Hi Fredrik,

thanks for the kind words, I thought I'd chip in with an article on  
http://www.linux-magazine.com[1].

Looking forward to seeing you and other Openmoko enthusiasts and  
freedom activists at FSCONS [2] ;)

> work on an application called voj (see the site for details) but  
> also to
> just shed light on the project and answer questions for any of  
> those not
> familiar to the OpenMoko project.

> I'm one of those that will be at the site and try to get as many as
> possible to throw their Nokias, SE:s and Motorolas out the window and
> instead decide they choose freedom and OpenMoko over ... some bad  
> words

> I'm glad this takes place in my hometown and I urge anyone that has

> truly "one a kind", or by joining the mailing list at

> irc://irc.freenode.net/fscons and say hi.

> Hopefully we'll get the media present interested enough to run a story
> on how open source collaboration can look like (Agile, very close to
> it's users and leveraging functionality actually requested by real  
> users
> and not some developer apartment).

> Apologies if you consider this being spam.

> I hope to see you at the conference!
