5C: Symbian's Wild Ducks Project - creating an open source smartphone
Symbian, the world's leading smartphone operating system, went open source in Feburary 2010. The open source codebase is now governed by the non-profit Symbian Foundation, whose mission is to build a community around the Symbian Platform. To help accomplish this, Symbian Foundation launched a community project to build a smartphone with cheap off-the-shelf components running the latest version of Symbian. We call this the Wild Ducks Project and this is the story of how the project went from idea to the product you can play with here today. We will discuss how we engaged the community to help us achieve this goal, what worked and what didn't, and how the Wild Ducks Project will spur innovation in the smartphone market.

6C: FrontlineSMS
FrontlineSMS is free, open-source software that turns a mobile phone or modem and a computer into a two-way messaging device, allowing you to interact cheaply with anyone with a phone. It's being used all over the developing world for anything from rural health services to election monitoring to human rights campaigning - but how can it be used in the UK to bridge the digital divide and reach disconnected, or mobile-oriented groups like the homeless, women experiencing domestic violence, or young people?
