24 Not enough

25 PROBLEM Little or no software on GSM devices «It's no hardware devices for free software» No devices no software «Free Software is an Open Door» Hackers will break in and we don't want that do we? «Free Software Business Models don't work» Free software is non commercial marketeers from one big company says Who do we call when we get problems using free software «I can't find free software applications» ICT manager says 25

26 SOLUTIONS Pave the way for free software Some phone hardware already for sale Greenphone with GPL'ed Qtopia August 2006 Free Software is secure Applications Binary Interface in proprietary software is not more secure than Open Source software Code Inspection by security experts makes open source more secure Free Software Business models works Trolltech, MySQL, RedHat etc. Europe s investments in Open Source reached 22 billion Euro in Estimated growth from 20,5% in 2006 to 32% in 2010 Make it easy to develop and deploy software Qt based applications for embedded 1286 on Zaurus 26

27 Why we are here Problem: A mobile phone today got same computer power as a standard PC 10 years ago. This is more than sufficient to install and run lots of native software But mobile phone vendors and several operators don't support installation of software The fifth most successful world wide business this year, Telenor Mobile is now looking for ways to open up 27

28 We aims for a Research and Innovation cooperation More applications for mobile phones will makes them more useful and fun to use Telenor mobile operator looks on ways to give access for open source software on phones They provides free network access for students and software developers who makes open source for phones Telenor uses Qt and Qtopia in recruiting to: Program for Advance Telecom Services 28

29 Free Access for free software developers For development and testing Join us Program for Advance Telecom Services 29

30 Free Access for developers Pave a way for community and business Industrial partners Telenor million GSM customers Trolltech Thousands of developers develop Qt apps. Educational partners - PATS Colleges and Universities in Norway, China, Denmark, Germany, US, South America, India etc. Community partners - PATS KDE, Open Embedded, Debian Embedded, Debian Edu (Skolelinux) «100 dollar Greenphone» 30

31 Pave a way for software on phones Is there ways that we can work with Universities making open source and dual licensed software for phones? Maybe in cooperation with mobile operators? What about code camp or developer camps at the University with Free Software Developers?
