«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

SOLUTIONSPave the way for free software

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 worksTrolltech, MySQL, RedHat etc. Europe’s investments in Open Source reached 22 billion Euro in 2006. Estimated growth from 20,5% in 2006 to 32% in 2010

Why we are hereProblem:

27

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

We aims for aResearch and Innovation cooperation

28

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

«100 dollar Greenphone»

Pave a way for software on phones

31

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?
