Also, everyone is welcome to meet #Purism team members at Free Software or Tech events all over the world to know more about what we do and get to know us a human beings and Free Software enthusiasts.

Some team members are currently at #FroSCon as speakers and visitors.

A few facts about #Purism:
- Purism is a SPC.https://puri.sm/about/social-purpose/
- Purism was funded by the people.
- Purism gives back ALL its R&D to the people through Free licenses. (more than 50 projects representing $Millions) https://source.puri.sm/
- The #Librem5 has a unique design for privacy, modularity and repairability (when implementing an existing design would have been easier, cheaper, more profitable)

I love the unique warm, almost analog look of the Librem 5 camera!

The image processor is still a work in progress but I would love it to retain that look in a way or another.

@film_girl Our Forum has been down because our servers, along with our main website, shop and PureOS repos have been under DDoS attack for the last 4 days. We are sorry for the interruption and we are putting our energy into solving this issue.

@film_girl We provided store credit, plus a 20% bonus as a gratitude to those customers who have yet to receive their devices. We are aware that not all customers will be satisfied but we do our best with our limited resources.

@film_girl We chose to stay away from private investors in order to avoid anyone pulling the company's goals toward their own profits. This made us do some choices regarding purchase policies in order to protect us from possible abuses and supply chain issues before having stocks. Unfortunately, supply chain issues have hit us during the past 3 years.

@film_girl I encourage anyone who wants to know us more to come talk to us at Free Software and Tech events. We are real people who understand how publicly licensed (publicly owned) technology is important for humanity, behind this company.

@film_girl We are a SPC funded by the people only and for the people (giving back our R&D through Free licenses). We had very bad supply chain issues related to the pandemic but we have worked hard to find solutions, we have not given up and we have delivered over 95% of our pre-orders so far. There was indeed some immense delays and we are deeply sorry about it but we are very close to shipping parity now.

@film_girl The Librem 5 we made articles on our blog explaining how the Librem 5 is fully owned by it user. It also is one of the most modular and repairable phone in the market: battery, cameras, cellular, wifi, USB, and motherboard can be individually upgraded or replaced.

@film_girl A few answers as I am reading this. I have been working with Purism since 2015. We have always been developing Free Software only and invested into existing projects with an upstream first approach. It is why we are pushing for Chatty to join the GNOME circle of apps. Just as we did for Libhandy (becoming Libadwaita) and other software like Debian or Linux.
