Well, maybe you missed some of my previous email in this list some time 
ago :)
I'm the project leader of a new distribution, called NEOPhysis, for the 
Openmoko Freerunner and Niko is the UI team leader.
We are about 10 people in our team and started from scratch creating a 
new distribution which differs from the others, approaching the system 
concept as an embedded low resources device instead of a micro-desktop 
system.
The main focus was not in a "Linux distribution" but in a "Phone with 
advanced capabilities", so as I follow this project since its born, I 
proposed to use oFono as the main telephony stack and FSO for the 
remaining part.
As a proof-of-concept I wrote a "ncurses phone app" which uses oFono to 
do simple calls and ATM I'm able to call a number dialed with the touch 
screen (yes it's very geek! :P ) and I'm finishing the parsing part to 
handle the call status to be able to answer calls.
I asked in my previous emails if someone of the oFono team could send me 
a simple C code because all the test code were written in Python (but 
for the telephony part our focus is speed and reliability so its 
mandatory to use a C/C++ framework/middleware) but received no answer, 
OTOH this let me learn using DBUS and oFono APIs so it was not as bad :)
We put up a build host which produces even an oFono package for the 
OpenEmbedded repository and we are very proud to be the first (AFAIK) to 
use oFono. If you need/want to test oFono on the Freerunner we can 
provide you the packages built each time you need to.
I have just one question: I noticed the Calypso modem registers on the 
network quite slowly (about 1,5-2 mins after powering up) is this 
normal? Can we help you in testing/patching the code to achieve faster 
times (normal phones usually register in seconds).
Thank you very much for your great work, good bye.
Dario.
