UI for Osmocom and funding [was: Hello, Fonts and a LCDgui (plain text)]

On an Openmoko Freerunner, the application processor can control the baseband one itself, while taking care of the interface. I happen to have written a Gtk+-based GSM daemon and telephony application, which I have recently modified to function independently of the GSM backend in use. You can find this work in the "khorben-phone" branch of the DeforaOS project, found at http://www.defora.org/: You can obtain the source code this way: $ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.defora.org:/Data/CVS co -r \ khorben-phone DeforaOS/Apps/Desktop/src/Phone (you will also need the "libSystem" library from the same project to compile it: $ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.defora.org:/Data/CVS co \ DeforaOS/System/src/libSystem So technically now, "all that is left" is to write a plug-in for osmocom in "src/modems". As of the current way the project is implemented, it seems like this plug-in would implement a telnet client and connect to port 4247 locally. I'll welcome suggestions on how to proceed otherwise in a more practical way :) Last but not least, I had to rush to meet the submission deadline when I first heard about this possibility, but I have submitted this project for funding by the CELF forum: http://elinux.org/CELF_Open_Project_Proposal_2011 http://elinux.org/Add_Osmocore_support_to_the_DeforaOS_Phone_GSM_stack Of course I have listed myself in the "Contractor candidates", but I expect development to be (primarily) funded through work in the Osmocom project itself, where I'll welcome anyone, and the most active current developers in particular, to add themselves here (or just ask me to get it done). I hope taking this step sounds good to you all too, and will be good publicity whatever happens (eg whether being funded or not). Cheers, -- khorben
