Please fill in everything you think the community should know. On 25th June this content will be moved to http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Community_Updates/June_25%2C_2009, FEEL FREE TO DO IT on 25th, also post a note on the community mailing list!
FIXME, I'm placing this here as evidence of such important things, please reorganize, complete and above all, correct my English.
On June 2nd, Sean Moss-Pultz (CEO of OpenMoko Inc.) announced a major change in the OpenMoko world: the development of open phones was discontinued by Openmoko Inc. It will be assigned to the Community, so everybody (including You, dear reader) is called to participate in this big challenge: make the project survive and grow!
The complete transition will happen in the coming months.
In the mean time Openmoko is beginning to move on the new course, the FSO team is looking for funding and continues development, we should expect the 5.5 release in a few days, the same for Paroli, 4 new developers are able to improve and maintain the kernel, but a lot of help is needed. Every contribution is important in order to realize the transition, so organization experts, developers, system administrators, testers, translators, wiki editors, all are welcome to get involved!
See http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2009-June/048903.html and http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Community_transition
Most important and change making mails on the mailing lists, blogs etc.. Coolest hacks, screenshots, themes etc..
Remember - you only have until July 15, 2009 to take advantage of the SDG Systems & Koolu buzz-fix program. This may be the only formal buzz-fix program for owners in the US. See http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2009-June/049041.html for details.
//FIXME: We should consider moving following (EU BUZZ-FIX and similar) to new section called "News" or similar (any suggestions?). IMHO "FreeRunner A6 Sale" also should be moved to "News". Currently i have added EU-BUZZ-FIX to "Community" just to follow some one else who started here similar thread for US. Please correct my English. LeadMan.
Buzz-Rework - Last call also for European Union FreeRunner owners to fix their BUZZ ! You have only few days left to last scheduled rework swap, which is 2009-06-29. With the help of Openmoko and a local SMD specialist company in Munich, they can now offer a rework service to those who really have the problem with a buzz. The 2 way shipping cost is covered by the customer. The customer will receive the device with one free battery as a gift. Remember to get familiar with Rework Instructions when sending FreeRunner to Munich.
I think a wiki section in the community updates is useful to signal important new pages and changes
A new wiki section was started to organize ideas and discuss technical aspects to help developers and maintainers to create software and distributions giving to users a better experience with the freerunner. It's not a "single shot" wish list, but a place to signal conceptual issues, propose ideas, discuss about pro/cons and give hints on how to implement/fix them, the final target is to minimize the project phase for developers and distro maintainers. Please partecipate to Discussion Boards.
