**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Mar 13 02:59:58 2016 Mar 13 22:37:03 Hello, I am searching info about openmoko, but I can't find some kind of a roadmap of the project. Can someone help me? Mar 13 22:47:30 davidluckov: of what project exactly? OpemMoko itself has been out of business for years... Mar 13 22:55:33 I think that GTA04 is the current motherboard under development. So, what is the current OS for this board? What are the plans for GTA04? Mar 13 22:56:37 davidluckov: neo900 is the most promising current project, it's discussed at their official website and talks.maemo.org Mar 13 23:13:36 I found interesting thing on http://projects.goldelico.com/p/openphoenux/ and it is mentioned there GTA04 Smartphone. So, I really interested in such thing, I am working with OMAP-L137 nowadays. And I am interested in idea of an open smartphone. But I had some questions: 1. Is there a possibility to try a whole system on QEMU? 2. Why is this phone so ugly? Any plans to change the design? 3. For what tasks is DSP used on thi Mar 13 23:25:31 davidluckov: your message got truncated Mar 13 23:26:14 GTA04 is meant to be a spiritual successor to the OpenMoko phones, but it doesn't carry the OpenMoko name Mar 13 23:26:39 I don't think it's still under development though?... Mar 13 23:26:51 as for the ugly case: historical reasons Mar 13 23:27:16 2. Why is this phone so ugly? Any plans to change the design? 3. For what tasks is DSP used on this phone? Mar 13 23:27:49 I have no idea what the DSP is used for. maybe camera processing? I doubt it's used for anything else Mar 13 23:28:29 regarding operating systems, there are several, but I don't think any can be considered "official", besides the bare-bones Debian-based system it ships with for testing purposes... Mar 13 23:29:03 (was it really Debian? I don't remember) Mar 13 23:30:11 So, are there any plans? For example, updating camera and interface. Mar 13 23:32:04 Also, DSP can be used for GPS+inertial(based on gyroscope and accelerometers) navigation Mar 14 00:01:56 davidluckov: check neo900, please Mar 14 00:23:28 sorry, I haven't checked the site. I was trying to find video on youtube. Mar 14 00:24:12 Also, on the site https://my.neo900.org/#about button "Learn more..." doesn't work Mar 14 00:42:36 but I have one question: where can I find the roadmap of this project? Mar 14 00:44:13 I can see something on the bottom of the page http://neo900.org/#main , but it is just a picture without milestones Mar 14 00:47:15 Also, I know that many people did like the idea of openmoko, and I understand why. Mar 14 00:50:41 And also it would be cool, if someone make a stable linux-based phone with browser, mail client, maybe navigation and camera. And nothing more. No games, no android. Just a stable smartphone on a stable linux. Mar 14 00:55:38 So, it is hard for me to understand the purposes of the Neo900. If someone wants to play with sensorse camera - there is a RPi. If someone wants to play with n900 - there is N900. If someone wants a modern phone with a keybord - Blackberry. Mar 14 00:57:18 Sorry, for my criticism. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Mar 14 02:59:58 2016
