Special guest speaker Ole Tang will talk about OpenMoko, the GNU/Linux distribution that runs on the free phone Neo Freerunner from FIC
OpenMoko is the GNU/Linux distribution that runs on the free phone Neo Freerunner from FIC. It is completely Free Software. Being able to completely control a cell phone gives new possibilities that people only dreamed of.
Have you ever had a mobile phone where you have been annoyed by some of the functionality and thought: “If only I had the source code I could have fixed this annoying thing”? Then you are not alone.
The phone Neo Freerunner from FIC runs a completely free operating system. Because it is free it is possible try out completely new ideas - even ideas that the phone companies make no money from. The presentation will be about the possibilities and how you can take part in this revolution.
Date: Friday 10th October 2008
Where: Ground Floor, Dataran Kewangan Darul Takaful, No 4, Jalan Sultan Sulaiman, 50000 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Topic: FOSS-SM Registration
This meeting is to formalise the registration of FOSS-SM by electing interim committee members and for the community to provide live feedback on issues such as the constitution and direction of FOSS-SM to support our local FOSS community.
Can’t code or not a technical person? Would like to contribute in some way to FOSS?
Then we NEED YOU!
Yes you, no, don’t look away, I know you’re closing the browser, but stop right there and read on!
We need a secretary to help deal with the paper work to get us registered, as well as be the official voice for many of our aims and activities. We are also looking for somebody to be the treasurer to help handle increasing amounts of funds that this society will be receiving in the near future to better run our various activities.
No experience needed, what we need are people enthusiastic about FOSS and have some time each week to help run FOSS-SM.
