> 
> == What happened since the last report ==
> 
> === People ===
> 
> * John Lee <john_lee at openmoko.com> joined the framework team and will help us 
> part time -- welcome on board, John!
> 
> === DBus APIs ===
> 
> * org.freesmartphone.GSM is almost complete now and stable. We did only minor 
> corrections and enhancements based on client feedback.
> * Preliminary versions of org.freesmartphone.Device.Audio and .Accelerometer 
> have been added.
> * org.freedesktop.Gypsy has been implemented and org.freesmartphone.GPS will 
> be used to configure more obscure GPS features
> * Still brainstorming about org.freesmartphone.Preferences and 
> org.freesmartphone.Context.
> 
> === Implementations ===
> 
> '''Openmoko Framework Image -- 'All good things' (Milestone II)'''
> 
> This is the second milestone release of the framework and the framework 
> testing application 'Zhone'.
> 
> ====Purpose====
> 
> A lightweight image that turns an Openmoko phone into a featurephone and that 
> can serve as the basis for further application development using the 
> freesmartphone.org dbus APIs.
> 
> ==== What's new since Milestone I ====
> 
> '''Note: These are only the highlights. See the [http://git.freesmartphone.org 
> gitweb] commit logs for the gory details...'''

> 
> ====Download / Installation====
> 
> # Grab a uImage and a .jffs2 for your device from 
> http://downloads.openmoko.org/framework/milestone2/.
> # Flash it to your Neo1973 (om-gta01) or NeoFreerunner (om-gta02) with 
> dfu-util.
> # Boot and wait until the Zhone main window appears.
> # Have fun.
> 
> ====What you can expect from this release====
> 
> * Telephony
> * Phonebook
> * Messagebook (SMS)
> * GPS
> * frameworkd implementing the following dbus APIs:
> ** org.freesmartphone.Device.{Audio|Input|IdleNotifier|PowerSupply|Display|
> LED}
> ** org.freesmartphone.Usage
> ** org.freesmartphone.Event
> ** org.freesmartphone.GSM.{Device|SIM|Network|PDP|CB|HZ}
> ** org.freedesktop.Gypsy
> 
> ====What we expect from you====
> 
> * Feedback and comments for the dbus APIs. This is your chance to take an 
> active role into shaping the application programming interface for all your 
> cool applications.
> 
> * The best way to interact with the framework is by exploring the dbus APIs. 
> For that you can use the two tools, which are already installed:
> ** [[OpenmokoFramework/mdbus|mdbus]] -- a dbus introspection and interaction 
> utility,
> ** [[OpenmokoFramework/cli|cli-framework]] -- a python dbus command line 
> interface.
> 
> * If you want to interact with the GSM modem, while the frameworkd is running, 
> you can use [[OpenmokoFramework/mickeyterm|mickeyterm]] -- a MUXer-aware 
> minimal terminal emulator.
> 
> ===What's next===
> 
> * SMS PDU Handling
> * GTA01 GPS integration, cold and warm start improvements
> * Preferences integration
> * More tutorials and high level documentation
> * Work towards Milestone 3 (see [http://trac.openmoko.org Roadmap and Issue 
> Tracker])
> 
> ==The Team==
> 
> Mickey, Jan, Daniel, Guillaume, John.
