It probably isn't a good idea to start calling potential allies "stupid", especially on twitter and thus on their website. If you read their website, they are less about software freedom and more about not contributing to civil war, genocide, environmental destruction etc by buying minerals from warlords mined using slavery-like conditions with zero consideration for the environment. http://www.fairphone.com/about/ http://www.fairphone.com/faq/#q1 http://www.fairphone.com/faq/#q6 To me, the OpenMoko community seemed to be by geeks, for geeks. That the Fairphone folks haven't heard about OpenMoko/OpenPhoenux says more about the publicity and outreach done by our community than about the Fairphone people. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think OpenMoko Inc scrutinized (or had the resources to) their supply chain for conflict minerals, poor working conditions or environmental destruction either. Not sure about Goldelico, it would be interesting to hear about this. There is a potential partnership here, I'd encourage Goldelico to make some connections. > "FairPhone" on arte (here I have seen it first): > > http://wp.arte.tv/yourope-de/?p=8490 Could someone do an English transcription of that? -- bye, pabs http://bonedaddy.net/pabs3/ _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
