GPE In Commercial Product!

Very interesting:
http://www.skytone.net.cn/en/
Pitily it is not a full GPE device nor do they advertise that they use parts of GPE but anyway, they do it!
The Alpha400 they show on their web-page is a MIPS based mini notebook which runs exclusively Linux and is based on a Ingenc Jz4730 CPU - usually used as SOC for media player devices ;)

LinuxTag 2008

Like last year some of the projects here are present at LinuxTag fair in Berlin/Germany. The projects GPE, GPE Phone Edition and OpenEmbedded will be at the "Mobile and Embedded" booth at the LinuxTag fair and conference. It takes place at Berlin Expo Center from from May 28th to May 31st, 2008. The projects share the booth 112 (kindly sponsored by Tarent) in hall 7 with several other related projects.
You can expect to see a lot of funky devices running interesting mobile software there as well at the chance to meet some of the developers. We would be happy to meet you at LinuxTag!

The LinuxTag fair is one of the biggest Open Source related events in Europe. It is meant to attract all sorts of people interested and involved in Open Source and is a great opportunity for users, developers and business people to get in touch with each other.

Linux Foundation Collaboration Meeting 2008

This was nice!

Three days of meetings at the J.J.Pickle Research Center of IBM at Austin, Texas USA.
A lot of groups of the Linux ecosystem met, some kernel guys, desktop guys, Linux printing folks, power management interested and also a complete track of Linux on mobile devices.

With almost every meeting and presentation mobile Linux was at least mentioned once. This is quite amazing!

Finally something positive to report!
Florian just uploaded installable images of an Angstrom based distribution with GPE Phone Edition:

We were even able to make our first phone calls with it ;)
Very nice.

Pleas try it and give feedback!

Isn't this nice?

Word twisting ... trademark issue continued

Talking by blogs... if this not already shows the culprit :(

Foreword: I would love to talk to responsible people directly by personal email and not "discuss" this mess in public. But since George France does not reply to my mails and since Russ Nelson has my email address in some kind of ban-list on his server (see [1] below) I have no other choice to comment on this publicly.

So here we go. Russ writes in his blog [2] dated 11th June 2006 titled "Ownership issue..." some quite, um, interesting things:

"Nils Faerber is throwing mudballs in his blog entry entitled Trademark issue...."

Trademark issue...

Do you know that feeling when you feel treated unjust? When someone has done wrong to you and you simply cannot do anything against it?

This is exactly what I am feeling again and again these days ever since I heard about the trademark registrations of handhelds.org especially done by George France. I do not want to repeat the facts, there is a nice artcile about this here:

By now I set any lever in movement I could against this really more than questionable action. I know 100% that George France is wrong in doing what he did.
