Gammu is a project which encompasses applications, scripts and drivers for managing various functions on cellular phones and similar devices.
It is a stable[citation needed] and mature codebase with support for many models available on the market and provides functions unavailable in other similar projects. Long term development is oriented towards making a shared API for classes of device rather than supporting single phone models (which are eventually made obsolete with the arrival of new models).
Gammu itself works in command line or as a daemon, but there exists GUI written in wxPython called Wammu.

[edit] History
This project has originally forked from Gnokii and up to version 0.58 has been named MyGnokii2. Then need for better name arrived and Gammu was chosen as an acronym for GNU All Mobile Management Utilities, without knowing that Gammu from "Heretics of Dune" written by Frank Herbert exists.
Current project leader is Michal Čihař.
