to create next-generation open cellular smart phones.
I happened to be working with Dr. Marcelo Zuffo, a full professor and

Hi,
This is amazing - if it pans out. Not only would this add hw R&D
capabilities - this could also help shore up the software with (I hope
eventually) so many students getting the opportunity to work closely with

David,
I would appreciate the translation. Perhaps you can put those on your
web site.
As to the other universities, let's see what model we can create with
USP, keeping the other universities in mind, then we can extend that.

I will say that I have been saddened and angered lately (and people who
have seen my anger in the past know what that is) about the questions of

I have no idea what this has to do with the conversation, other than
Koolu (of course) having a business interest in seeing that the Openmoko

While Paul was right about the convention, and following convention may
make it easier to read your email in the future, I (for one) was able to

First I want to say that I do not consider this a "new effort", but a
continuation of the effort that the Openmoko community started. If I
"opened" something, it is only a door t

Hmmm, I wrote a lot before I realized that you probably meant by "this

Great progress, thanks for the update. There's one thing I'm wondering about
though... all of these activities seem to surround free hardware. While that's
