Suggested questions:

===Is there a diagram showing the security framework and components?===
There were some diagrams in the presentation - can we see them.

===What is "Open Mode" and can it be revoked remotely?===
Is that the right terminology?
Essentially can Nokia reach out the the 2nd stage bootloader and  tell it to stop running unsigned kernels.
Maybe this should be 2 questions.

===What does closed mode restrict you from doing? Terminal? Root?===

===How easy is it to switch between Open and Closed modes?===

===Can network operators restrict you switching to Open mode?===
Like if a device is sim-locked to a particular network, does the device get locked down in closed DRM mode only too? Can you always switch to open mode?

===How granular is the encryption?===
If my app creates content in the closed mode can I see it in open mode?

===Can open applications use the privilege mechanisms in the Open and Closed modes?===

===Can open applications use the DRM encryption mechanisms in the Open and Closed modes?===
I can see that this could be useful. Maybe.

===Will community extensions to the kernel (modules) be permitted in Open/Closed modes?===
I can't see how - which leads to the question: How do community 'enhancements' to the kernel get adopted?

===Is there any GPLv3 software impacted?===
Please have a license discussion somewhere and let us know when you have consensus.
What is Nokias position? Peter made a statement at the talk - can someone transcribe it and/or get Nokia to clarify.

===What exactly is available to the end user?===

* storage encryption ?
* PIM data encryption ?
* encrypted/signed communications (phone, sms/mms, mails, IM) ?

== How does closed mode affect on-device debugging? ==

For example, will ptrace(2) still work (eg gdb, strace & ltrace)?  Will we be able to produce code dumps?
