I've created a petition online:Augen Gentouch 78 Source Code PetitionTo ask that Augen have the source for the GenTouch be made available to the user community as per GPL. Please lend a hand, and pass the word along. Thanks.[EDIT] As of 08/30/2010, Daniel Gofman, VP of Augen USA, has stated that the kernel source for the GenTouch 78 will be available in the next 10 days ( approximately ). Thank you for your support of the petition, let's keep our eyes open for this release, but don't refrain from signing the petition just the same as a show of support for the GenTouch. Thanks again to the over 100 signers of this petition, for their support ![/EDIT]
Petition to Augen US to release the Gentouch 78 Source Code

Got my sig, but I have a feeling this may take a while.After the Google mess I'm guessing that Augen called the guys who put the thing together for them, first to get the code, and second to insist on going through the source to avoid any more incidents of "forgetting" to remove any code. Of course the guys in China might just push back and say they want to get paid for the additional work since it meets the standards of their market.

Um, did you miss the update? Their VP responded in another thread(one of the ones where he plastered abut espresso, so we took advantage to nail him down on some Gt things) that IIRC the kernel source was scheduled to be releasedon 9/10http://www.slatedroid.com/augen-gen...multi-touch-screen-coming-soon.html#post47938

They have been posting over a month, and have posted info about fixes etc. prior to release. Its actually more then one person using the account. Sometimes its Daniel who is the VP, other times it is one of their "developers". There is no reason really to question that they are real, until now no false info has been passed. Press releases by them have appeared on here, and then on their website also.UPDATE: As I was posting this, Augen posted their link to Kernel source above my message ..lolCPGxboxhacker;50124 said:

Since they're seem to be difficulties in getting this done as required, I'll give this a little bump.
Take a look at post #19http://www.slatedroid.com/augen-gentouch78/6387-kernel-released-2.html

Have you been cutoff from civilization for the last 3w? That "release" was just a 399M zip of junk, and was removed. Supposedly Daniel is trying to get his ODM to cough up the real thing, but in the meantime Archos has released their kernel source, and Dell apparently released EVERYTHING for the Streak...i.e. we still need the GPLed sources at least, more would be nice, but I think that we could live with the kernel and a few other things.stu;59463 said:

I hope that Google changes the 3.0 licensing to be entirely GPL...

I doubt Daniel is going to be able to deliver on this. Of course IMHO removing Google Market is really not fixing it, and no one has seen the promised 2.5mm headphone set so this is pretty much business as usual.
