Telefoninux 0.01
We are very pleased to announce that Telefoninux 0.01 is out. It is our first release and is a Debian base image. Future releases till 0.05 will be based on this image. The fun is from now on. Our project is officially in an alpha state now. We recommend to use Qi as bootloader. Just flash qi and put the contents of the tarball onto the SD. You don't need multiple partitions. Kernel is included. You can find it in the downloads section.
We are on our way to 0.02. You can use this image to install only what you need ;)
What should you expect from this image.
* A minimal Debian
* Dropbear (connects normally as any other distro)
* Nothing else

Update 28-11-2008
Hello everybody.
Long time no talk. Here are the latest news of the project.
Thomas Bertani has left the project. Thomas, one of the founders of the project has left it in favour of the SHR. Well, Thomas , good luck ;)
There is a Neo meeting in Milan(Italy) in december. It's very probable to find there me and Federico Bombelli.
Fred has had a wonderful idea. What about a CD with installer for the telefoninux?
Now let's talk about the most interesting part. The roadmap. The goal is to arrive to a version 0.1 that is almost suitable for daily use. Here are the steps for us to perform.
Version 0.01 – A slimmer debian with some unuseful locales removed and no docs.
It will contain no X server, only base system and dropbear. The release will be a tar.gz to install on SD. It's easy to achieve and i think we'd be able to release it very soon.
Version 0.02 – E17 svn packages compiled for the arm920t.(that means illume)
Version 0.03 – Phone suite based on openmoko framework (Zhone? SHR?)
Version 0.04 – Various improvements and bugfixes. Last "debian"
Versions 0.05-0.09 – Intermediate versions. Completely recompiled systems. Opening telefoninux repo
Version 0.1 – A complete system, binary compatible with debian.. You will be able to install it on the rootfs.

Work in progress
Although me and Thomas don't have really much time we are making progress. Last night we asked ourselves why no one implemented hibernate on the freerunner? It should be very fast. Also the version of install.sh of Telefoninux is almost ready. It will be the testing enviroment for the phone suite. No telephony suite in it and it will be equivalent to a debian without zhone.
Quick Boot
Boot of basic system till serverx in 22sec with optimizations of Thomas Bertani.
