last year we "enjoyed" The Gnome Mobile
continuing the tradition of hackathon movie night with "for the plasma" in honor of @kde
The recording of #FOSDEM talk about the missing 20% in Mobile Linux is live! Check it out now! https://video.fosdem.org/2025/h2214/fosdem-2025-4836-kernel-support-for-mobile-linux-the-missing-20-.av1.webm
If you're looking for subtitles, I hope to write them in the next weeks and have the video public on my YouTube channel with them soon!

Our project board at our #hackathon! Being together physically makes it possible to get so much done. Watch for our blog post afterwards detailing what happened at #FOSDEM2025 and this week!
Alpine Linux needs your help, a significant sponsorship will end soon.
This post explains what is affected and how you can help:

hope you all had an awesome #FOSDEM, we sure did!
All our leaflets gone, many people stopped by to show off their phones or play with ours, and a lot of "wow i really need to get this on my device"
we had some amazing talks too at the FOSS on Mobile devroom, and some outreach by @anjan presenting pmbootstrap in the embedded devroom.
Huge thanks to everyone who helped run the stand and (hopefully) not lose their voices in the process :D
Safe travels and see you next year
Seems @postmarketOS is now successful enough for some people to think it was the first community-run GNU-like/Linux distro for phones.
Let me remind you that SHR would turn 17yo this year, and it wasn't even the first one. I bet some #postmarketOS contributors are younger than that ๐
For the first time ever, I met actual people using #sxmo and #postmarketos, in the flesh! At #fosdem2025 .
@postmarketOS booth at #fosdem : many phones to try ๐ง๐ฒ, including a #Fairphone5 with #phosh and a working camera ! ๐ธ Go have a look at building K !
@anjan introducing #postmarketOS to the embedded and automotive crowd @ #FOSDEM ๐
It should be available on alpine edge soon.
