<tt><font size=2>> How many people do actually have already a GTA04
and are developing on it?</font></tt>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Just to give my bit to the discussion:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I've got a GTA04A4 but up to now I'm
not developing on it. I'm completely new to Openmoko. Up to January 2012
I even didn't know that something like this even exist. At the end of December
last year I got the radio stream from Chaos Communication Congress where
I got very big ears when listing, that some guys are building up an GSM
stack. But that was for base stations. Because of that I asked a guy from
our local CCC group if also something like an "open handy" exists
and so I got the term "openmoko". Rest was some research in the
net that gave me "</font><a href=www.gta04.org><font size=2 face="sans-serif">www.gta04.org</font></a><font size=2 face="sans-serif">".
It was quite by accident that just at this moment the possibility for ordering
GTA04A4 had opened and after having a telephone call with Nikolaus I found
the idea such great, that I didn't wanted to wait any longer. I ordered
the whole device with case, camera and serial cable for 854 EUR. Now I'm
concerned in catching up all the information you already have in order
to get a picture, what I really have...</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Omitting all the technical stuff I would
say in short words: I got an D.I.Y. mobile. And the D.I.Y. concept is something
that is liked by people that are politically very left orientated like
me. Why do I tell you that?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Because there's upcoming an event that
I think might be very interesting for you: </font><a href=http://www.lima12.de/><font size=2 face="sans-serif">http://www.lima12.de</font></a>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">On this annual meeting those people
are discussing about alternative media. Mainly such things like self-made
radio, but not only. It would be a good chance to spread the idea of openmoko,
if someone will go to there who is able to describe what's going here,
without all the technical details. It should be possible with demonstrating
QtMoko, because the clearness and usability of its UI is great, although
much development still has to be done.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Unfortunately I will not be there, but
perhaps there's a GTA04-user in Berlin? If there's someone, please feel
free to contact me if you need more information about that scene. I'm a
member of a non-commercial local radio station here since more than 10
years.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Of course this will not directly bring
up the filling-level-picture in your Group-Tour, because none of them will
order a motherboard without all the remaining stuff. But it will increase
the interest in this project by far a big step. And thinking of bringing
these two "poles" together, that's my "development"
I'm doing at the moment.</font>
