||
3 | |||
4 | == Harald "LaF0rge" Welte == |
||
5 | |||
6 | Harald is an independent IT security expert and system level software developer, trainer, consultant and above all, |
||
7 | Free Software advocate, Linux kernel hacker and electrical engineer. He was leading the development of the |
||
8 | netfilter/iptables project (the built-in IP Firewall present in virtually any Linux system on this planet). |
||
9 | |||
10 | He has been pioneering many other Free Software and Open Source projects like [http://openpcd.org/ OpenPCD], OpenPICC, |
||
11 | [http://wiki.openmoko.org/ OpenMoko], [http://openmrtd.org librfid]. |
||
12 | |||
13 | In 2008, he founded project [wiki:OpenBSC], a Network-side GSM protocol implementation. After this was working sufficiently |
||
14 | with less than a year spare-time effort, he turned to the holy grail of GSM: Implementing a custom |
||
15 | telephone side GSM baseband stack without any support from or contact with the chipset vendor. |
||
16 | |||
17 | This is how [wiki:OsmocomBB] was born! |
||
18 | |||
19 | |||
20 | == Dieter Spaar == |
||
21 | |||
22 | An experienced software engineer with a large skill set, ranging from microcontroller programming up to the application |
||
23 | layer. He is experienced in various techniques of reverse engineering and {breaking and improving} software security |
||
24 | and protection schemes. |
||
25 | |||
26 | Dieter has been vital in getting OpenBSC started, and is also involved with [wiki:OsmocomBB] from day one. |
||
27 | |||
28 | His area of interest is related to the DSP and Layer1. |
||
29 | |||
30 | |||
31 | == Holger "zecke" Freyther == |
||
32 | |||
33 | Holger has been working on virtually any level of software development, ranging from Linux kernel work up into |
||
34 | webkit and Qt. |
||
35 | |||
36 | He has been working with Harald and Dieter both on OpenMoko as well as on OpenBSC. |
||
37 | |||
38 | Zecke is focusing on the Layer2/Layer3 protocol side of [wiki:OsmocomBB] |
||
39 | |||
40 | |||
41 | == Andreas "Jolly" Eversberg == |
||
42 | |||
43 | Jolly has already been on board of the OpenBSC development team, working mostly on the call control |
||
44 | and LCR (linux call router) integration. |
||
45 | |||
46 | In OsmocomBB, Jolly is focusing on the Layer2 + Layer3 protocol stack and issues like GSM 03.22 cell re-selection. |
||
47 | |||
48 | == Joachim "roh" Steiger == |
||
49 | |||
50 | Roh is a hardware, Linux and embedded systems geek, who has been working as sysadmin and community manager for Openmoko. |
||
51 | |||
52 | He has been working on miscellaneous areas in [wiki:OsmocomBB] such as the keypad scan matrix driver. |
||
53 | |||
54 | |||
55 | == Ingo "prom" Albrecht == |
||
56 | |||
57 | prom is an experienced software developers across all layers. |
||
58 | |||
59 | His work for [wiki:OsmocomBB] so far has been related to the CFI flash and UART drivers, among other things. |
||
60 | |||
61 | == Sylvain "tnt" Munaut == |
||
62 | |||
63 | Sylvain is a linux geek mostly interested in the lower layers: RF / Layer 1 / Harware. He has experience working with FPGA, various PPC/ARM/MIPS embedded systems & linux kernel development. Like a lot of the other developers here, he's also involved in other GSM projects such as OpenBSC / OpenBTS / Airprobe ... |
||
64 | |||
65 | He has been involved in working on the [wiki:Hardware/CalypsoDSP] inside the [wiki:DBB]. |
