Brief items
CyanogenMod founder Steve Kondik has disclosed that he
and sixteen others are now doing their CyanogenMod work as part of a
company founded for that purpose — and that they have been doing so since
April. " You have probably seen the pace of development pick up
drastically over the past few months. More devices supported, bigger
projects such as CM Account, Privacy Guard, Voice+, a new version of
Superuser, and secure messaging. We vastly improved our
infrastructure. We’re doing more bug fixes, creating more features, and
improving our communication. We think that the time has come for your
mobile device to truly be yours again, and we want to bring that idea to
everybody." The first new thing will be an easier installer, but
there is very little information on what the business model will be.
