Hi all,
I'm the project leader of a new Freerunner distribution which claims to 
be AT MOST a stable telephone instead of replicate all the other 
distributions who claim to port the desktop-style distribution paradigm 
to the Freerunner. In this way of think we planned to use oFono as the 
main telephone stack because, following the mailing list since the 
starting of the project, I believe oFono is a very well planned and 
developed platform.
At the moment I am able to cross compile oFono with my toolchain and it 
works quite well on my Freerunner so if someone needs a tarball with 
ofonod and everything "make install" produces I can provide them without 
problems :)
Thank you very much for your great work good bye.
Dario.
