Hi All, I am Ajay Kumar, 25 year old, Software Engineering student currently in my final year, and a Sahana Developer. Post GSoC 2008, I am working on a separate project where my main motive is to use the Openmoko phone, FreeRunner as an effective disaster reporting tool and data communication with a client application.
Primarily, I will need to use the following features of the phone and make them available to my application. 1. GPS 2. WiFI 3. Touch Input Also at a further stage, I will need to use the SMS, GPRS features too. A detailed proposal which I have written is available here for those who are interested. Proposal: http://www.ajuonline.net/academics/AJ_Openmoko_Sahana_Proposal.pdf But since the project is something new, I will be basing my development so has to have something that "just works" and then iterating it over time. My primary reasons of choosing the Openmoko phone is: 1. FOSS - matches with the Sahana ideology. 2. Larger & active developer community - it has its own benefit in terms of contributions to maintain the project in future. For your reference, my academic project duration is: 1. Mid term - End of Research & Analysis Phase: October 27 2008. 2. Final deadline & Presentation: Mid April 2009. My proposal @ college has been approved last week and I am working ahead on this project. I will be posting updates and research outcomes as I progress. Since I am new to Openmoko development, your suggestions and advise on how to get started would be really appreciated. Thanks & Regards, Ajay Kumar /me blogs @ http://ajuonline.net
