Had an amazing time at FOSDEM'23! So many interesting conversations with people I only/mostly knew from the Internet and also with people I didn't know before! So much fun hanging out with people from all kinds of projects at the stand / devroom and restaruants!
Here's my talk, a quick recap of the on-device installer that @postmarketOS and @mobian use, and what's next: "ondev2 - Distro-Independent Installer for Linux Mobile"
Hurraaaah! Finally, after almost a year of using my #PinePhone I did a recent upgrade and found that I could import my contacts exported in .vcf. Since I had **2,555** contacts on my previous phone, this is a much needed feature for me.
Thank you so much @jsparber @nielsdg @aday and the other folks who work on Contacts for GNOME.
17 phones running mainline Linux at the mobile linux dinner after FOSDEM today, including 3 Librem 5s, a @PINE64 PinePhone and PinePhone Pro, and 3 @shiftphones SHIFT6mqs. All running @postmarketOS and @mobian. This conference and getting to meet everyone was so much fun and I'm so proud to have gotten to work on some of what's on this table!
I was a volunteer at #FOSDEM for the first time this year and it was a really amazing experience. The way it was organized was fascinating. Definitely looking forward to doing it again next year.
I also prefer a shared stand. But to be honest the stand needed to have twice the amount of space because it was packed as hell with folk wanting to see the devices and talk. And that was cool! :)
The beauty and diversity of the #LinuxOnMobile bazaar!
We had a great chat with the @ubuntu and @ubports teams at #FOSDEM today.
Special shout-outs to Thunderbird Council member Philipp Kewisch (far right) and @ahoneybun (second from right) of @system76!
Thanks for spreading the knowledge, guys.
@craftyguy The Linux on Mobile stand was so packed I couldn't even get close haha, I will try again tomorrow if you're still around.
I wrote up something quick on Musk shutting down Movetodon... and also why people should set up a Mastodon account soon before Musk shuts off other similar tools. Feel free to share it to friends still sticking to the bird site. https://www.techdirt.com/2023/02/03/elon-musk-is-running-scared-from-mastodon-cuts-off-the-best-tool-for-finding-your-twitter-followers-there/
#FossOnMobile dev room on#FOSDEM2023 is packed :)
See you at FOSDEM 2023 in Brussels!
