Welcome to the YYYY-MM-DD edition of the Free The Phone / Openmoko Community Updates. We are a loosely bound group of people originating from the developers and users of the pioneering Neo1973 and Neo FreeRunner products from Openmoko Inc. Nowadays most efforts are around free software distributions for a range of mobile phones, including the original Neo products. There are also several spin-off companies inspired by the Openmoko Inc's work.

-*[[Image:Intone-1.png|100px|right]] '''[http://www.opkg.org/package_190.html Intone 0.60]''' - after quite a few tweaks there is the latest version of Intone. You will need mplayer to use Intone. There is a low CPU consuming mplayer-tremor version [http://www.paultt.org/downloads/openmoko/mplayer_dev-SVN-r29155-4.1.2-tremor-low_armv4t.ipk here]. OpenMoko distibution users will need separate '''[http://n2.nabble.com/file/n3284396/intone_0.60_arm.ipk-OM version]''' of intone and might need following dependencies:
-** [http://build.shr-project.org/shr-unstable/ipk/armv4t/id3lib_3.8.3-r2_armv4t.ipk id3lib]
-** [http://build.shr-project.org/shr-unstable/ipk/armv4t/libmad0_0.15.1b-r4_armv4t.ipk libmad]

-** fixed ui break in album art view with long song names
-* '''[http://pvtrace.com/literki_0.0.2-r3_armv4t.ipk Literki 0.0.2-r3]''' This is a new version of your favourite keyboard. The mechanism for showing/hiding the keyboard has changed, now you show/hide Literki by sliding bottom right corner with your finger. You can configure what distance you need to slide. If you just click the bottom right corner, the click goes through to the application, so it (almost) doesn't affect using other applications when the keyboard is hidden. This update is concentrated on using libfreetype for fonts. Screenshot is available [http://pvtrace.com/literki2.png here]. Literki configuration file explanation is [http://pvtrace.com/literki_conf.html here]. OpenMoko users will need [http://shr.bearstech.com/shr-unstable/ipk/armv4t/libfakekey0_0.2+svnr1455-r1_armv4t.ipk libfakekey] as a dependency. Main changes are:
-** it supports Unicode input. Tested only with Polish diacritic signs.
-** it looks much nicer
-** the keys are much more visible when transparent, thus transparency is on by default
-** you can change the font and size
-*[[Image:saskia.png|100px|right]] '''[http://projects.openmoko.org/projects/saskia/ Saskia]''' is a wi-fi management tool. It currently supports WPA-encrypted and open Networks, while WEP-Support is planned for the Future. You can download [http://projects.openmoko.org/frs/download.php/859/saskia_0.20_armv4t.ipk package], or end user [http://projects.openmoko.org/docman/view.php/296/529/saskia_using.pdf documentation]. OpenMoko users might need [http://shr.bearstech.com/shr-unstable/ipk/armv4t/python-wifi-dbg_0.3.1-r0_armv4t.ipk python-wifi] package as a dependency.
-* '''[http://www.faltantornillos.net/proyectos/gnu/brightPlayer/brightPlayerGTK0.2.tar.gz BrightPlayer]''', a fast, lightweight and easy random music player author has released new version of this software. Major changes are:
