Does anyone know if there's a #foss equivalent of KaiOS being worked on?
For our niche feature phone making needs, you know?

Thank you HackersGame for the summary video of all the progress the Librem 5 Team and Community have made in the past year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_OE8EaIKl8 #Purism #Librem5 #FOSS #OpenSource
#DidYouknow that #Purism contributes to several free #OpenSource software projects such as #GNOME, wlroots and #Debian? We've also made dozens of patches to the #Linux kernel (5.2, 5.1, 5.0, 4.20) for the #Librem5 and our other hardware https://puri.sm/posts/purism-linux-5-3/ #FOSS #LinuxKernel
"..user privacy is often just an afterthought among the major manufacturers and platform developers in the consumer tech market. That’s why its up to smaller players like Purism..." https://www.slashgear.com/purism-librem-5-privacy-focused-linux-phone-has-started-shipping-24592835/ #Purism #Librem5 #privacy #FOSS #opensource #Linux #GNOME #smartphone
"The Librem 5 ships with PureOS, a GNU/Linux-based operating system. But the device is sold unlocked and users will be able to install other operating systems." https://liliputing.com/2019/09/purism-starts-shipping-the-librem-5-smartphone-linux-based-privacy-focused-phone.html A pure #privacy #foss #opensource #Linux #smartphone alternative to #apple #iphone and #google #android
By the way, anyone noticed the EU directive 2019/771?
It should force vendors to provide updates for the devices they sell for a reasonable amount of time.
It's starting to be enforced at January 1st 2022.

Anyone thought if that has implications of FOSS projects?
"This phone is about more than superficiality; it’s about giving its user total control over their data and their privacy." https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/09/librem-5-linux-phone-now-shipping A pure #privacy #foss #opensource #Linux #smartphone alternative to #apple #iphone and #google #android
Purism & #Linux 5.3: The #Purism team contributed 12 patches, which include the Librem 5 devkit device tree and LCD panel driver. Go team #Librem5 https://puri.sm/posts/purism-linux-5-3/ #linux53 #foss #opensource
The first Librem 5 smartphones are shipping https://puri.sm/posts/first-librem-5-smartphones-are-shipping/ “This is a big moment, not just for us as a company, but for everyone concerned about issues of privacy, security, and user freedom. The Librem 5 represents years of work, building the software and hardware required to make this phone a reality.” - Todd Weaver, founder and CEO of #Purism #Librem5 #Librem5Aspen #Linux #LinuxPhone #LinuxMobile #GNOME #FOSS
It was Software Freedom Day on Saturday, tell us how you celebrated and shared it with others 😄 https://puri.sm/posts/software-freedom-day/ #opensource #foss #softwarefreedomday
#USPTO now demands disclosure of personal/home/residential addresses to register a #trademark for those w/out office space. Bad privacy policy! We're asking them to fix it: https://sfconservancy.org/news/2019/sep/19/uspto-personal-addresses/ #FOSS is unduly impacted since our projects & orgs are usually virtual/telecommute!
Saying goodbye to @outreachy, GSoC and other interns, looking back at how much code's been written and looking forward to some great #FOSS events this fall with member project communities and staff. https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2019/sep/11/august-roundup/
“The answer is rather simple: Don’t. Control. People.” https://puri.sm/posts/control-freedom-and-harm/ Librem One doesn’t track, doesn’t retain useless data and uses free software while Big Tech strips freedom and causes harm https://librem.one #libremone #foss
Geary has just adopted the Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct for the project's communication channels: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/geary-list/2019-August/msg00002.html
If it hasn't already, maybe it's time your FOSS project did the same?

Libre game fans,
#SuperTuxKart and @Minetest are examples of good, well-maintained libre games.
Do you know any others you would recommend?
Firefox Preview comes with tracking protection by default: https://www.wired.co.uk/article/firefox-preview-android-browser 👏😀 Here are more tips for leaving Google behind: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/how-to-leave-google-gmail/ #FOSS #privacy
To say that one can separate F/LOSS and politics is to be under a gross misunderstanding of what F/LOSS. It IS a political movement. You might as well go back to binary blob land with that obtuse logic.
