You always wanted to contribute to #postmarketos but didn't know where to start?
Take a nice look at https://postmarketos.org/contribute/ and pick something out. Your help is really appreciated! :3
(My personal favorite is the testing team, which is a easy way for newcomers to contribute something really meaningful & important: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Testing_Team)

If @pabloyoyoista looks so happy, it's because he's demoing GNOME OS on a laptop, and GNOME on a phone thanks to @postmarketOS
The future looks bright when the future looks free ๐ฅณ

last year we "enjoyed" The Gnome Mobile
continuing the tradition of hackathon movie night with "for the plasma" in honor of @kde

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 !
