Hi,
I'm a student interested in working for the OpenMoko Summer
of Code
project. Basically, the project I want to work on is made up
of three
main parts, mostly from the wishlist, and I wanted to just
put it out
there and see if I could find a mentor for it.
So the first part of what I want to do is work on
implementing a profile
manager, that would let you define certain global settings
and associate
them with a profile. So basically you would be able to say
put the phone
in silent mode and know that all incoming notifications will
be silenced
and instead the phone will vibrate, etc... Basically all
modern phones
have this in some form or another. This would involve both
creating the
location manager app, as well as making different
applications aware of it.
Next, I would like to get a VoIP client up and running on
the phone.
Something simple, preferably like a daemon or commandline
app that will
run in the background. I've looked at libjingle, googles
solution, as
well as openZoep, or something else.
Thirdly, letting the profile manager be location aware,
either through
the GPS, or scanning for known available networks
(bluetooth, or in the
future, wifi) would be done.
Finally, everything could be tied together. This would
allow the phone
to provide VoIP service when it's in range of a known (or in
the future,
any open) wireless network, and then when it's out of range,
it could
just default to using the regular phone. The transition
should be
relatively seamless, and transparent to the user, so they
wouldn't have
to worry about manually opening up and using a VoIP program
etc, they
could just dial.
Anyway, I plan on submitting an application, I just wanted
to see if
there was any interest among people who will be mentoring in
something
like this. If I'm way off base here, or this stuff all
already exists
and I just missed it, please let me know...
Thanks
