A Librem 5 Video Made on a Librem 5
"Ultimately the Librem 5 phone lets you take your regular workflow with you while also keeping you in contact with your friends and family."
To ensure your app appears in the Librem 5 PureOS Store, specify the form factors it supports in its Appstream metainfo and desktop entry: http://adrienplazas.com/blog/2020/10/15/specify-form-factors-in-your-librem-5-apps.html
Julia Reda fordert einen Europäischen Open Technology Fund: "Wir müssen viele verschiedene, langfristig angelegte Förderstrukturen für #OpenSource-Technologien aufbauen, für sichere und ungefilterte Kommunikation."
Es ist "von enormer Wichtigkeit #FreieSoftware Komponenten über lange Zeiträume instand zu halten, stetig zu verbessern und laufend auf Schwachstellen zu überprüfen."
"Und die Ausgestaltung des Programms muss in den Händen der Zivilgesellschaft liegen."
#phosh 0.4.5 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.4.5
This one adds a torch/flashlight quick setting, improves support for external screens and switches to structured logging. There's also a rather long list of internal fixes as well as translation updates (thanks a lot for that)!
Salsa CI now includes i386 build support https://bits.debian.org/2020/10/salsa-ci-i386-build.html
@purism While fixing #convergence related issues in #phosh, #phoc and the kernel for the #librem5 I wanted things to be more automatic. So #phosh can now enable a 'docked' mode on screen plug: windows become moveable automatically (and get their close button back), #squeekboard gets disabled and there's a quick setting that lets you toggle that too:

#osk-sdl unlocking a LUKS rootfs running PureOS on the #purism #librem5 devkit.
osk-sdl is an initramfs touchscreen keyboard made originally for postmarketOS, for unlocking a LUKS rootfs on touchscreen devices with no physical keyboards.
The long unlocking time is due to the rootfs being encrypted on a big core desktop system (see `man 8 cryptsetup` /--iter-time)
#phosh 0.4.4 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.4.4
Besides lots of new translations and i18n improvements this release switches to libhandy 1.0 and makes the wwan signal strength indicator work for #ofono too (contributed by &t). We also expanded the developer docs (https://honk.sigxcpu.org/projects/phosh/docs) and @zbrown made some internal cleanups.
Less hacks when driving an external screen with the #Librem5: you can see how the monitor picks up the video signal when the yellow led on the external screen turns to blue and the external mouse is detected when the cursor appears on #phosh's lock screen in the upper left corner (and yes, i need better video equipment):
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:
@purism …and here's a quick Quake II demo using the #librem5 docked via usb-c (audio is from L5's built in speaker) - might be a bit more exciting than running #libreoffice (which also works):
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. 😉
