Intel and Nokia are pleased to jointly announce the oFono project, 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.
Review the oFono architecture diagram for more information.
Review the source code for an even closer look.
oFono is licensed under GPLv2, and it includes a high-level D-Bus API for use by telephony applications of any license. oFono 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).”
Nokia and Intel will jointly maintain the oFono project. We’d like to invite all developers to join the ofono.org effort and community.

HP has recalled 70,000 lithium-ion batteries, which are overheating and causing fires.
According to the recall announcement there have been two reported incidents of batteries overheating in HP laptops, resulting in “flames and fire that caused minor property damage but no injuries”.
The laptops featuring the recalled batteries cover a wide range of models, including the Pavilion, Presario and Compaq series. The batteries were also sold individually.
The worldwide recall warned anybody who bought one of these models between August 2007 and March 2008 to return the battery to HP for a free exchange. In the meantime, it’s perfectly safe to continue using the laptop on mains power.
The incident follows a similar recall in October, when HP was forced to yank 32,000 Sony-made batteries. Toshiba and Dell were also part of that product recall, with Toshiba recalling about 3,000 batteries and Dell recalling 150.
The statement from HP did not identify the manufacturer of the 70,000 batteries it wants back, but it does note they were manufactured in China. The Sony batteries were built in Japan.
