<h2>Other Related Initiatives</h2>
|

|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Even though this campaign is about Android, there are other
|
||||
initiatives that make it possible to use small mobile computers with
|
||||
(mostly) Free Software. Due to the driver situation of mobile
|
||||
hardware, none of these initiatives really can run such machines in
|
||||
freedom. Non-free drivers and firmware are needed for many peripherals
|
||||
to work.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
On the hardware side there is the <a
|
||||
href="http://projects.goldelico.com/p/gta04-main/">GTA04 phone</a>.
|
||||
It is the follow-on for Openmoko GTA02 and was designed to require no proprietary drivers.
|
||||
It runs GNU/Linux, but it requires non-free firmware in order to use the
|
||||
WiFi. So close, yet so far away.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo">Maemo</a>/<a
|
||||
href="https://meego.com/">MeeGo</a> initiatives developed systems for mobile phones based
|
||||
on GNU/Linux, with many nonfree components. They have now moved into
|
||||
<a href="http://merproject.org/">Mer</a>
|
||||
and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tizen">Tizen</a>.
|
||||
While Mer is a community effort to continue work on the
|
||||
MeeGo codebase using Qt, Tizen is a corporate initiative that uses
|
||||
only parts of MeeGo plus Enlightenment and HTML5.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Mozilla is working on the Boot to Gecko operating system whose concept is to
|
||||
provide only a browser running web applications. This raises the usual issues
|
||||
of Software as a Service, on top of the possible nonfree drivers.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Also WebOS was <a
|
||||
href="http://developer.palm.com/blog/2011/12/open-source/">announced to be released
|
||||
as Free Software</a>. It remains to be seen whether all parts will be free
|
||||
and whether there will be new devices shipping WebOS.

Even though this campaign is about Android, there are other important
|
||||
initiatives that also have the goal to allow you using small mobile
|
||||
computers in freedom. There is the spiritual Openmoko continuation <a
|
||||
href="http://projects.goldelico.com/p/gta04-main/">GTA04 from Golden
|
||||
Delicious</a>. It builds a free phone without the need for proprietary
|
||||
drivers. The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo">Maemo</a>/<a
|
||||
href="https://meego.com/">MeeGo</a> initiative has now moved into <a
|
||||
href="http://merproject.org/">Mer</a> and <a
|
||||
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tizen">Tizen</a> and tries to be an
|
||||
alternative free operating system. Also WebOS is <a
|
||||
href="http://developer.palm.com/blog/2011/12/open-source/">about to be
|
||||
liberated</a>.
