Welcome to the OpenMoko™ public Wiki |
OpenMoko™ is an Open Source project to create the world's first free mobile phone operating system which runs a full X server and can therefore run most X applications.
TheOpenMokoproject is a community that anyone can join, to help design their ideal phone.
You can install any OpenMoko software over the whole range of supported phones, and if you upgrade your phone, you don't lose that software. Bugs fixed on any phone are fixed on all.
The Neo1973 from FIC is the first of many phones that OpenMoko may be used on and has now sold out (Feb 11 2008) as can be seen here - Openmoko Online Shop. The Neo FreeRunner is not yet available - see further down this page for info on the development status and further information. You can add your nickname to those interested buying the Neo FreeRunner here
Please join us in collaborating on the OpenMoko project through any of the project resources including this OpenMoko wiki. Please see the wiki editing help page for information on making contributions to this wiki. A core team of developers funded by FIC, Inc. leads the project.
An introduction page is available, with photos and videos. Moreover, the usual Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page might be helpful. Developers may find the change log an important resource.
WARNING: The OpenMoko GUI applications are not suitable for end users yet. They are still in beta. Do not expect to always and reliably make and receive calls from the OpenMoko GUI. Thanks to the openness of the FIC Neo1973 hardware, there is also an alternative to the OpenMoko GUI: Qtopia 4.3.x is released under GPL and is at the edge of being usable for phone use. |
OpenMoko Open Source Engineering and Schedule Policy As an extension of the Open Source attitude towards source code, OpenMoko attempts to be open about as much of the engineering process as possible. Obviously this is not always possible, and because this is a fairly new notion, we are still learning how to do this properly. Our current policy is to attempt to tell you as much as possible about what we are doing, but never to attempt any schedule prediction. This is not due to secrecy, but rather is due to the large number of dependencies that are out of our control. For the latest status updates, see Community Updates
FUTURE MODELS DEVELOPMENT STATUS Neo FreeRunner is still under development, and we are still testing the hardware. Since this is happening at the kernel and driver level, progress can be monitored on the openmoko-kernel mailing list, which is public. Once we complete this we will build a few more for further testing within the company. If this testing is successful, then we will start manufacturing units for sale. For the latest status updates, see Community Updates
Status on the U-Boot and Kernel side can be found at Kernel-dev-status.
