+title: RMLL feedback, Optimus Black advancement and CCCamp
+---
+Two weeks ago, I took part in [RMLL][1] as advertised on the Replicant blog
+shortly before the event. This year again, it was a really nice event to be a
+part of. Lots of people showed interest for Replicant and some even came
+specifically to see my talks about the project: what a pleasant surprise! The
+videos of my talks are already available on the [RMLL website][2] and they
+were also added to the [Conferences][3] page of the Replicant wiki.
+
+Back from the event, the development effort was focused on cleaning up the
+[bits and pieces laying around][4] for Optimus Black support in U-Boot, now
+that the [merge window is open][5]. A [patch series][6] was sent for review
+earlier today and despite being incomplete as of now, it will serve as a solid
+base for future additions. Some more work is indeed required to have all the
+necessary features supported, but those patches will be written in a non-
+upstreamable way for Replicant at first. The current status of those [dirty
+patches][7] allows booting CyanogenMod without too much trouble, except for
+the occasional random reboot and other oddities that still have to be sorted
+out before it can seriously be used for daily use.
+
+Thus, with basic bootloader support out of the way, it’s time to start the
+Replicant port to the device. Communication with the modem will require some
+heavy work on [Hayes-RIL][8], our implementation of the AT protocol radio
+interface layer, that is supposed to be more modern and robust than other
+implementations. Other fundamental parts required to have Replicant running
+with sufficient features to make the device useful should be less trouble.
+
+In a month or so, the [Chaos Communication Camp][9] will take place in
+Germany, organized by the almost mythical [Chaos Computer Club][10]. Replicant
+is going to [take part in the event][11], hopefully with a lightning talk
+and/or less formal self-organized events. The camp will be a great occasion to
+chat a bit about the current state of the art of software freedom on mobile
+devices, and more! Various other interesting projects will be there as well:
+members of the [Neo900 project][12] will hold the [Neo village][13], where
+I’ll be likely to be found. As usual, I’ll also be available to verify the
+Replicant release key fingerprint, help newcomers install Replicant on their
+device and basically anything else that I can help with!
