Hello Sean, community, question: which is the current status of the Openmoko community resources?.. You know? projects.openmoko.org is down, we know. Several days ago community mailing list (and maybe others) has not been working. From http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2010-December/064043.html The change is going to be permanent, as the current installation is unmaintained for about a year and poses severe security risks.

Hi list, While I was again disassembling my Freerunner, I lost my speakerphone (the one that you put near your ear).

Thanks for the hard work you put in on this it's very much appreciated. Brian ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
