<p>Closing session for the FOSS on mobile devices devroom. We reserve the right to have the "Phosh contributors meeting" bleed into this session.</p> <p>Come and join us as we're looking back at FOSDEM22, reflect on how our quest for world domination is going and talk about anything and everything (tangentially) related to FOSS on mobile devices. While not mandatory grabbing a refreshing (rejuvenating even!) beverages of your choice is highly recommended as we're closing this years event.</p> <p>No dresscode :)</p>

<p>I work with Purism SPC on the Librem 5 phone kernel.

<p>OpenMandriva and its predecessors have been in the desktop and server world since the 1990s - now OpenMandriva 4.3 can run on the PinePhone. What did we have to do to get there and what problems have to be solved before it can fully replace that Android phone in my pocket?</p>

<p>The Mobian project was initiated a few days prior to FOSDEM'20, back when the first PinePhones (BraveHeart edition) were arriving in the hands of developers and enthusiasts. From a single-person weekend project aimed at running Debian on one specific device, to one of the major mobile Linux distributions, let's board into a journey through the past, present and future of Mobian!</p>

<p>Most Kobo/Tolino readers offer a well marked console port and often a second UART. If they are not water resistant, they offer an internal µSD card slot containing the whole operating system and bootloader so that sounds like an invitation to do something interesting with them besides just reading books. Especially in prolonged outdoor activities, the display and their low power consumption have their merits. Hardware is quite similar, so you also have chances to get a replacement next ...
