The second video from @purism in the series of the Librem 5 real life usage :
March #librem5 software progress: https://puri.sm/posts/librem-5-march-2020-software-update/
The MIPI DSI host controller driver made it into linux-next: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/?id=44cfc6233447cb2cf47aeb99457de35826a363f6 - more parts of the #librem5 's display stack are moving into place.
Some #FSFE #supporters collectively wrote about the good reasons to use #FreeSoftware for #remote #working and collected a detailed list of good solutions that respect your freedom: https://fsfe.org/news/2020/news-20200403-01.html
Derzeit gibt es viele Hackathons, um Tools zu entwickeln, mit deren Hilfe man verschiedene Probleme rund um die Corona Krise bewältigen kann. Es muss sichergestellt sein, dass die Ergebnisse dieser Hackathons global genutzt und lokal angepasst werden können, dass die Software verwendet, verstanden, verbreitet und verbessert werden kann. Überall. Wir fordern daher, die Ergebnisse unter einer Freien-Software-Lizenz zu veröffentlichen.
I've started to update an ancient (and dormant for several years) project of mine that handles prepaid sim cards (check balance, top-up):

The past weekend some members of the XMPP community gathered in Düsseldorf to work on the next iteration of the OMEMO End to End Encryption Specification. All of us agree that the result - version 0.4 of XEP-0384 - is a huge step forward and better than ever! https://blog.jabberhead.tk/2020/03/10/omemo-specification-sprint/
@agx wow, nice job!
Wow, that was quick: Thanks to Lucas Stach our #etnaviv runtime power managemt fix already landed in linux-next: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/log/?qt=range&q=ea4ed4a55f7363ad8db1863bd536548fb7e5c6aa..78f2bfa3181cd7ee134274aa17177dd933c69dc1
The fix hits the #librem5 with the next kernel update.
My patches for iio-sensor-proxy to support proximity sensors just got merged upstream: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/hadess/iio-sensor-proxy/-/merge_requests/300 - thanks hadess !
The (mostly identical) code is already live on the #librem5 with #phosh 0.2.0 making use of it.
@agx @dukethereal @purism Good to know it's already being worked on. Thanks a lot!
My FOSDEM talk is available here if anyone's interested :P
