Intel and Nokia are pleased to jointly announce the oFono project (http://ofono.org), an open source project for developing an open source telephony solution. oFono.org is a place to bring developers together around designing an infrastructure for building mobile telephony (GSM/UMTS) applications. oFono.org is licensed under GPLv2, and it includes a high-level D-Bus API for use by telephony applications of any license. oFono.org also includes a low-level plug-in API for integrating with Open Source as well as third party telephony stacks, cellular modems and storage back-ends. The plug-in API functionality is modeled on public standards, in particular 3GPP TS 27.007 "AT command set for User Equipment (UE)." Source code is available on http://ofono.org/downloads and a high-level architecture diagram is available on http://ofono.org/documentation. To join the mailing list, go to http://lists.ofono.org/listinfo/ofono. Nokia and Intel will jointly maintain the oFono project. We'd like to invite all developers to join the oFono.org effort and community.
