Introduction –
OpenMoko is the Free and Open Source Mobile Platform. The entire OpenMoko system and application software are built using Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). On the system side,
OpenMoko uses software with a tireless history of success and stability, such as the Linux kernel, the GNU C library, the X window system, and the GTK+ toolkit etc… Open source is not a new concept but for the mobile world this is an entirely new concept.
