[liberationtech] Fwd: A crowdfunding campaign to build a free baseband
FYI Forwarded Message Subject: A crowdfunding campaign to build a free baseband Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2015 05:41:54 GMT From: Spacefalcon the Outlaw fal...@ivan.harhan.org To: replic...@lists.osuosl.org 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.

Quoth z...@manian.org: 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? 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. 0. http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/ -- Liberationtech is public archives are searchable on Google.
