Looks like the freesmartphone.org project was rejected again as potential mentoring organization, same as last year. I guess I won't bother applying any more. It's not worth spending the time working on the submission when the whole process is completely intransparent and you don't even get feedback. After having served for other projects as mentor and twice even as project admin for Openmoko, I'm somewhat disappointed about that. Looks like a truly FOSS middleware for embedded systems is nothing Google wants to support. Oh well, less to care about next year.
