Search the archives of the openmoko-community list[0] for lots of 
informative posts by the guy leading it. He goes by "Spacefalcon" on 
the list.

The people on Indiegogo project look legit and their comments line up with
what I know about the space.

An open source 3 or 4g baseband would be huge boon to anonymity and
countersurveillance efforts.

Anyone have further references on the project creators?

[liberationtech] Fwd: A crowdfunding campaign to build a free baseband

Hello free phone lovers,

As we all know, the baseband/modem/radio processor is the big bone in
our collective throat: it is the most closed and proprietary part of
every currently available phone, no matter how free the rest of the
phone might be.

Well, without beating further around the bush, I just started a
crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo seeking to change this bleak
baseband situation:

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/free-software-cellular-baseband

My project seeks to solve the problem of the closed and proprietary
baseband by producing a GSM modem module that will run 100% free
firmware.  And furthermore, I seek to produce such a free baseband not
by creating it from scratch, but by re-creating one that was already
made by someone else some years ago and later discontinued.  Please
read the campaign page for the full details.

Thanks for reading,
SF

Re: [liberationtech] Secure Video Recording for Android

As poly stated, the Strongbox project is based on our (the Guardian
Project) IOCipher encrypted mobile storage library
(https://guardianproject.info/code), and the CipherCam library/sample
project available here: https://github.com/n8fr8/IOCipherCameraExample

You can learn more here:
https://lists.mayfirst.org/pipermail/guardian-dev/2015-March/004287.html
or try the APK here:
https://guardianproject.info/releases/CipherCam-v2.0.1-DEBUG-DEV-TEST.apk

It supports still photos, video and soon audio recording, as well. The
app also exposes the same launch "intents" for camera and video capture,
so any app that uses an external camera, can also tap into CipherCam.

I am very excited that developers like poly can build on this to build a
focused solution for one feature, and enhance it with their own ideas.
That is the exact point of this code and library, and this capability is
being built into ChatSecure, InformaCam and the Martus Mobile platform,
as well. 

We hope other developers will build on this capability for their own
applications... wouldn't it be great if SnapChat locally encrypted
photos and videos it captured, so that they actually disappeared
permanently, like they claim?

All the best, and thanks again to poly for this release... we need more
developers out there working on these types of applications, and we are
always happy when they build on our IOCipher, SQLCipher and NetCipher
code base.

Best,
   Nathan
