[wplug-announce] Openmoko Presentation and General User Meeting

[Michael Semcheski]

Hello WPLUG!

Sorry for getting this announcement out late.  This Saturday, at the
Wilkins School Community Center, there will be a General User Meeting
and presentation on Open Moko by Mathieu Dubé.

Doors open at 10:30, meeting starts at 11:00, presentation at 11:30.

As for what the presentation will be about...

Mathieu Dubé will talk about the Openmoko (see their wiki) GSM
telephone project. He'll go over the "openness" of the project - not
only do they release the software source but they release the CAD
files and the schematics of the device.

Mathieu will go through the architecture of the main "hackable"
distribution and will talk about the others (such as Android) that can
run on it. He'll cover the package manager and some applications also.

He'll finish up by showing how to flash the images and compile stuff
from sources using the cross-compile and bitbake.


Please sign up on the wiki page if you can volunteer to help out,
bring donuts or snacks, etc.
