freesmartphone.org

" summary

The talk describes freesmartphone.org, a dbus-based middleware designed to defragment Linux userland on mobile devices by providing hardware-abstracted services (power management, GSM telephony, network access, time, location, etc.). It argues that many incompatible userland solutions make app development and user experience costly, and presents this freedesktop.org-inspired framework as a way to simplify app development, promote clean app architectures, and speed innovation on existing hardware.
