Interview: Michael Shiloh of OpenMoko
I had a chance to talk to Michael Shiloh, head of developer relations for OpenMoko, the totally open source mobile phone platform. After a few words, I could tell that the project he was engaged in was very interesting.
RR: Tell us a little about yourself
MS: I'm sort of a tinkerer and a hardware hacker. When I went to college I did straight up electrical engineering and sort of half way through I discovered computer science and realized that was also something I wanted to do. So I graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. So what that meant was that my career was now bouncing back and forth between hardware and software, and I was especially interested in the areas where the two meet. I often found myself working with device drivers, interfaces and technologies that allowed the computer to connect to the outside world. And that's always kept me in the world of unusual devices that can be hooked up to a computer. And over the next twenty or thirty years I did a number of things in that general area and that's kind of what got me interested in OpenMoko more recently.
