  Abstract

  OpenMoko is the GNU/Linux distribution that runs on the free phone Neo
  Freerunner from FIC. It is completely Free Software. Being able to
  completely control a cell phone gives new posibillities that people
  only dreamed of.

  Have you ever had a mobile phone where you have been
  annoyed by some of the functionality and thought: "If only I had the
  source code I could have fixed this annoying thing"? Then you are not
  alone. The phone Neo Freerunner from FIC runs a completely free
  operating system. Because it is free it is possible to try out completely
  new ideas - even ideas that the phone companies make no money from.

  The presentation will be about the possibilities and how you can take
  part in this revolution.

  About the speaker:

  Ole Tange has worked as Hostmaster for .dk, as a security consultant,
  as network admin, as site reliablility engineer, and is now working as
  developer.

  He has worked with UNIX since 1991, GNU/Linux since 1992,
  and in 1996 he deleted his Microsoft Windows partition.

  He has done lots of presentations on security, Free Software, and IT political
  issues (such as software patents) - both for the general public and to
  polticians. He is best know as the person behind Parallel, the
  patented webshop and wordprocessor and Remindmail.

  He sees a completely Free phone as the most disrupting that has happened since
  the introduction of GNU/Linux.
