Session Title
Getting started with mobile devices development - Openmoko Freerunner
Abstract
The Openmoko Freerunner is the first fully open and vendor supported
mobile phone platform. With 450MHz CPU, 128MB RAM and up to 8GB flash
it is as powerful as laptops were just a few years ago - and yet it
fits in your pocket. It is a fascinating platform with opportunities
far beyond making phone calls. Together with the build-in GPS is a
great device for location based services.
The workshop will introduce in native development and build environment
based on the GNOME mobile platform - a standard that is being supported
by the major players in the phone market: moblin (Intel), Limo
foundation (all industry heavyweights), Nokia etc.

Marcus Bauer
Marcus Bauer has been using Linux since 1994 starting with the 0.99
kernels. Since then he has developed a passion for Open Source and done
lots of advocacy in the business world. This resulted in an OTC trading
system based on Linux at the Budapest stock exchange and later on in
the design and development of the first German IPO bank based on Linux.
In 2002 he made his first steps into the Linux embedded world and has
been fascinated since. Especially the combination of GPS location based
services and GSM networking has become his field of expertise.
Consequently he was one of the first adopters of the Openmoko phone
seeing the big potential of this hardware in the VAR markets.
Nowadays he works for Bearstech.com on "hackable devices" and his
open source project is tangogps.org, a map and nav application for phones
and netbooks.
In his freetime Marcus enjoys cooking with his friends, going out into
the nature, hiking in the mountains and riding his bicycle. (more)
