Here is a good start. http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/FreeRunner_Overview If you want fully functional smart phone, Then download the Qtopia distribution. If you want to help OM develop it's end user applications, then download 2008.8. It's still Alpha, which means its not feature complete, but it will give you an idea of the direction we are headed.
_____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Geoff Ruscoe Sent: Sunday, August 10, 2008 10:54 AM To: List for Openmoko community discussion Subject: Re: 2008 WTF?? 2008/8/10 Flyin_bbb8 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hahaha :p iphone geeks :-) (ow, i said it) The funny thing is, in my idealistic brain, I thought geeks shouldn't even want the iPhone... I know I don't want to have anything to do with that closed system. I am truly amazed at how many of the geeks I know actually bought one. I mean it seems like great hardware, but no way I want to get locked into _any_ of apples products. I lose respect for every geek that buys one. (talk about ow, yeah I said it... but I guess they're not reading here anyway)... And back on topic. I think that the 2008.08 is definitely a major step forward. I have been using it since that morning and have found it to be better than all the others. I think their idea of telling people this is the most stable is because they want everybody on the same page and right now this is it. No sense wondering, "should I stick with 2007.02 or ASU or ..." This is the best we have, please try it... I think the key thing other than documenting its _beta_ or _developer only_ state is to start improving the build process so that everyone [most of us] can dive right in and get going helping out. I really want to help out, but with limited time, I would do a lot better if we had a very easy way to get started doing the development. being able to follow a _simple_ recipe for getting started and running a single script, or make, rake, etc for doing the build would be great. And I think creating everything to work with Eclipse, a _free_ and very _open_ IDE would be a great place to do this. Here's to checking out a git version of the project and opening it in Eclipse and compiling it! Thanks again, Geoff
