Community, To start off I have this list of proposed FAQs kindly generated by Werner. I'm going to ask for a volunteer to incorpoate this into an appropriate place in the wiki.
Any takers? After the FAQ gets incorporated then we can start to fill it up. Also, I want to start a "wish list" or Suggestion list for what kinds of things OM can do to smooth this transition. here is Werners List. Adjust as you see fit for presentation. - I'm using OM2008/2009 now. Will this distribution still be maintained ? Should I switch ? How ? What will change, what do I have to learn/unlearn ? - What will happen with FSO ? Will development continue ? Will a distribution carry it ? - What will happen with Paroli ? Will development continue ? Will a distribution carry it ? - How will the kernel be maintained ? - Will Openmoko continue selling FreeRunners ? For how long ? - I have a purchase/return/warranty/etc. in progress with Openmoko Inc. or a distributor. What will happen ? - I have buzz/#1024/no bass/etc. Can I still get it fixed ? How ? - Will the Openmoko Internet resources, Wiki, mailing lists, SVN, git, downloads, people, trac, etc., be shut down ? - Will "project B" continue ? - What's the future of Open phone hardware without Openmoko Inc. ?
