Time flies when you're busy building apps, but not all #FDroid contributors need to wrangle Python, escape YAML or restart Gitlab pipelines.
If you want to have a saying in the betterment of F-Droid, from the inside, you are welcomed to nominate yourself or somebody else you find worthy for a Board of Directors seat.
You have time until April 14th, so head to: https://f-droid.org/2025/03/30/board-of-directors-nominations.html
@fdroidorg here's info on Google's sponsorship of ECIPE
https://corporateeurope.org/en/2021/08/lobby-network-big-techs-web-influence-eu
#Google funds this #EU think tank to put out policy papers saying #DigitalMarketsAct will break their lovely #PlayProtect scare screens, making us all less safe and "it require[s] Google to allow developers to insert links inside their Play Store apps".

As I've always said in relation to the #DMA, let @fdroidorg compete on trustworthiness. I'd love to see this think thank include analysis malware rates of #CalyxOS with #FDroid and compare that to #GooglePlay #security
"Exclusive: Google will develop the Android OS fully in private..."
Looking again at https://www.androidauthority.com/google-android-development-aosp-3538503/ I really think that was a PR piece, e.g. #Google's PR firm put together the story for #Android Authority. Its got all the markings, the "Exclusive" part, the uncritical eye "Google is simply consolidating its development efforts into a single branch", minimizing harm to custom ROMs, "custom ROMs will largely also see little change" etc
