Then head down to this talk on OpenMoko (GNU/Linux on mobiles). UKUUG 'free' Evening talk 'OpenMoko (GNU/Linux on the mobile phone)' - speaker: Ole Tange Wednesday 9th April, 2008 - Talk starts at: 6:30 p.m. (ends approx. 8:30 p.m.) Venue: Cruciform Lecture theatre 2, UCL, Cruciform Building, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT There is no need to book a place - just turn up. see UKUUG web site for information: http://www.ukuug.org/events/openmoko/ Abstract OpenMoko is the GNU/Linux distribution that runs on the free phone Neo Freerunner from FIC. It is completely Free Software. Being able to completely control a cell phone gives new posibillities that people only dreamed of. Have you ever had a mobile phone where you have been annoyed by some of the functionality and thought: "If only I had the source code I could have fixed this annoying thing"? Then you are not alone. The phone Neo Freerunner from FIC runs a completely free operating system. Because it is free it is possible to try out completely new ideas - even ideas that the phone companies make no money from. The presentation will be about the possibilities and how you can take part in this revolution. About the speaker: Ole Tange has worked as Hostmaster for .dk, as a security consultant, as network admin, as site reliablility engineer, and is now working as developer. He has worked with UNIX since 1991, GNU/Linux since 1992, and in 1996 he deleted his Microsoft Windows partition. He has done lots of presentations on security, Free Software, and IT political issues (such as software patents) - both for the general public and to polticians. He is best know as the person behind Parallel, the patented webshop and wordprocessor and Remindmail. He sees a completely Free phone as the most disrupting that has happened since the introduction of GNU/Linux. -- UKUUG Secretariat PO Box 37 Buntingford Herts SG9 9UQ Tel: 01763 273475 Fax: 01763 273255 [email protected] www.ukuug.org -- Michael Holloway Operations Manager, The Open Rights Group Phone: +44 (0) 20 7096 1079 / +44 (0) 7974 566 823 Skype: mhholloway Web: http://www.openrightsgroup.org Fax: +44 (0) 20 7070 7011 Office: 7th floor, 100 Grays Inn Road, London WC1X 8AL, UK _______________________________________________ ORG-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openrightsgroup.org/mailman/listinfo/org-discuss
