The freesmartphone.org project offers a platform for discussion and implementation of open standards for Linux based smartphones.
Discussions for several standards such as an open telephony API have started already and the the first pieces of code appeared in the subversion repository. The main website has a wiki providing information about the project and for collecting input for the ongoing projects. If you want to follow the development or intend to participate in the discussions you should take a look at the project page which has information about the development progress and available resources such as mailinglists and the SVN repository.

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.
