It always surprises me in articles and interviews like this, that nobody mentions the OpenMoko stack. They're all talking about Android, LiMo and Symbian as all the open source stacks, but OpenMoko isn't mentioned. That's really too bad IMHO because OpenMoko is the stack that is the most community driven. There aren't many 3rd party programmers and individuals doing core work in Android and LiMo. Those are all payroll programming drones. OpenMoko is the one getting the community love.

Yaknow, I've noticed the same thing. Every time I see one of these articles talking about all the phone stacks, they never mention OM. Which is especially interesting as OM actually has 3 stacks, and has a phone actually on the market.....

4 stacks if you count their QTopia stack :-) The 3rd stack is currently still just a design and the first stack isn't very actively developed (though that's the standard stack shipped on the Neo 1973 and Freerunner) but their 2nd stack is shaping up to be pretty good and easy to transition to when the 3rd stack is out.
