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! + + [1]: + + [2]: + + [3]: + + + [4]: + + + [5]: + + [6]: + + [7]: + + + [8]: + + [9]: + + [10]: + + [11]: + + [12]: + + [13]: + + -- cgit v1.2.3
