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 possibilities that people only dreamed of.
The phone Neo Freerunner from FIC runs a completely free operating system. Because it is free it is possible 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.
