I have played around with designs for openmoko T-Shirts for some weeks now and it's time I release my work so far. Too bad the source code release is delayed but here's something to look at instead:

At my Spreadshirt Shop you will find 6 products for the openmoko enthusiast. Two friends of mine (Jan Lübbe and Stefan Schmidt) and I will be sponsoring Sean, Mickey and Harald one shirt each.

To refinance these shirts I have added a 1 EUR additional fee to every product so buy plenty :-). In the (unlikely) event that the shirts are completely refinanced I will of course remove the additional fee.

So I finally decided to join the blogging community. I have been pondering this decision for some time now but my recent activity in the OpenEZX project and the prospect of hacking OpenMoko on my own Neo1973 in two weeks (Yes, I'm one of the lucky phase 0 devs :-) really made that decision easy.

If you don't know what the Neo1973 and OpenMoko are you should check out http://www.openmoko.com/ now. In short OpenMoko is a framework for cell phones and the Neo1973 is the first device that is supported by OpenMoko. The thing that sets them apart is that their platform is open and they are actually encouraging people to improve their product which is just fantastic.

I'm sick of companies and their closed Linux devices that try to restrict you to some predefinied set of use cases and I am really looking forward to the things emerging from this great project.
