It’s worth repeating. Android is not a viable base for an independent or even just collaborative operating system. Android is Google and only Google’s project.

If you want to see an actually transparent, international, and collaborative system on phones, support @postmarketOS

@postmarketOS Love FOSS and don't trust Google, but I don't really get the criticism @thibaultamartin . They are still releasing code and accepting modifications, IIUC, just on a different cadence. Also, if the governance becomes intolerable, couldn't AOSP be forked? I'm sure I'm missing something, but we've got a huge ecosystem at stake, and I don't see good FOSS players like #calyxos or #iode or #eos making plans to switch.

@opensourceit @thibaultamartin @postmarketOS the scale of a project like this means, it can't meaningfully be forked. You'd need a team of experienced developers just to keep up, let alone make some headway.

So
"fork": yes
Fork and be viable long-term: extremely hard
