This is an invitation to join the GNU Triangle project, the 3rd generation of the GNU system launched by Richard M. Stallman in 1984 to develop the free operating system GNU (an acronym for "GNU's Not Unix"), and thereby give computer users the freedom that most of them have lost. GNU is free software: everyone is free to copy it and redistribute it, as well as to make changes either large or small.

Today there lacks free software for downloading, editing and archiving moving imaging created on movie capturing devices such as cell phones.

About 5 years ago Daniel Veillard told me that future cell phones would be shipped with a digital CCD. Immediately I found it hard to believe.

Since 2003 I have been capturing still images using a cell phone, but the quality was bad compared to digital still photography devices with megapixel CCDs inside.

Last week I found a new phone featuring a digital video camera that not only captures still images, but also captures moving images in 176x144 or 128x96 resolution!

The device is also able to create a 1.2 megapixel image. Allthough the image quality is not really on par with a true megapixel camera, I must admit that the quality does surpass what I am able to achieve using a bicubic resize function and a normal 640x480 image - so some sort of voodoo must be at work there.

Contact me for details on this effort or if you are aware of similar or parallel efforts.
