Heute ist #Warntag - Leider ist die Warnapp #NINA nicht als #FreieSoftware veröffentlicht, wir arbeiten für eine Öffnung.

Bis dahin kann man auf das inoffizielle Freie-Software-Projekt #FediNINA ausweichen:

Nour E-Din worked on the integration of EteSync with Evolution - GNOME’s suite for managing your emails, contacts, and schedule. EteSync allows you to synchronize Calendars, Contacts & Tasks securely across your devices. See how they did it by reading their final GSoC report!

libhandy 1.0.0 released. 🎉

We released it a bit in advance to let application maintainers update their submodules in time for the GNOME 3.38.0 release. 😀 That being said, we expect distros to ship libhandy as any other regular stable library. 😉

"While the Librem 5 does support many actively developed games, it also has an impressive list of emulators that can be used."

After the nth try, finally got #postmarketos booting on the Motorola Droid 4

Big news: NLnet/NGI0 PET will fund the development of two new open hardware processor modules compatible with MNT Reform: An NXP LS1028A module developed in partnership with RBZ Embedded Logics and an FPGA module for prototyping with open CPU designs:

A presentation by @agx , it's worth a watch if you like mobile Linux.

If you didn't port your app to libhandy 1, now is the best time. We even have a migration guide to help you! https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/libhandy/hdy-migrating-0-0-to-1.html

If you ported to a libhandy 1 alpha, I also strongly recommend you to update to 0.90 as you are guaranteed you won't have to change a thing after.

@molson pre-order is the best way to support the #librem5 development. If that's too expensive then #libremone (https://librem.one) subscription according to a previous toot from @agx

This extensive and thoughtful post by a member of the #Librem5 community does a good job of explaining the past and present mobile Linux ecosystem and why Purism's approach with phosh makes strategic sense long-term. https://amosbbatto.wordpress.com/2020/08/05/advantages-of-phosh/
