One thing that bugged me is that we had no way in #phosh to present only the available OSK layouts to the user to pick from. This led to confusion as users configured a layout which then would not be available later on. phosh-osk-stub can now provide that information to mobile settings (and it will be simple to add support for e.g. squeekboard if it dumps out the relevant information).
Thanks to #libadwaita and #GTK4's list models such things are fun to add.

For #Erlang folks, Rebar3 just got version 3.24.0 released, which has some bug fixes, a bunch of internal maintenance, and also turns on rich compiler error messages by default: https://github.com/erlang/rebar3/releases/tag/3.24.0

llibphosh-rs 0.0.2 is up at https://crates.io/crates/libphosh . Thanks to @me for making it compatible with #phosh 0.41 .
This is hopefully the first release 🐸 can use out of the box.

As announced earlier, I started collecting important missing features for daily driving a gnu/linux phone.
You can see the currently identified list here,
https://codema.in/g/D8TO7J5c/tags/librem5 please contribute more.
Use GNU/Linux (not android) as a daily driver already?
Have you tried using and given up?
Are you keen to switch away from #Android to a more sustainable approach to developing an operating system, where collecting maximum personal data is not its driving philosophy?

I've lost my PinePower (https://pine64eu.com/product/pinepower-destkop/) at #FrOSCon2024
It was last seen around around 18:00 at the FOSS on Mobile booth.
lost+found hasn't turned anything up yet.
The spot on my desk where it used to sit feels very empty now,
so please reach out if you stumble upon it ;)

My talk "eSIM management on Qualcomm phones" from Sunday at #FrOSCon is now subtitled and ready to watch on my YouTube channel! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8WyIrwg14E
I hope you enjoy and learn something!
While memory is still fresh I summed up my gist from helping to organize/run this years #FOSSOnMobile devroom at #FrOSCon: (https://honk.sigxcpu.org/con/A_short_look_back_at_the_FOSS_on_Mobile_Devroom_at_FrOSCon_2024.html) in the hope that we can do another one next year (and there'd be people interested to participate again).
