With all this Google malarkey where they are trying to lockdown their ecosystem, It's making really want to purchase a Fairphone 5 and install @postmarketOS . I know it's not fully functional but it's so so close. Has anyone else tried daily driving a #Fairphone 5 with #PostmarketOS recently ?? #MobileLinux
Do any moots know someone who we might be able to consult about restructuring a mid-size FOSS project? Essentially to migrate from a BDFL model to a more flat-structured democratic organisation.
We are discussing how to restructure #postmarketOS so that it can continue to scale up and be a truly community-run project.
We have some idea of how co-ops like Igalia do this, but we have a lot of differences (like being largely volunteer run and having very different goals) which leave us with a lot of unknowns.
To give an example of the kind of structure we're thinking of (by no means final, there hasn't been any broad agreement on a new structure yet):
We have the relevant pieces in place to form an assembly (everyone listed on https://postmarketos.org/team/ ) which could then democratically form teams and delegate responsibilities to them (e.g. finance/budget, technical policy-making, maintainers for various OS components).
The assembly would then also be responsible for deciding on focus areas and long term goals for the project (e.g. improving reliability, building a production-ready immutable version of the distro)
We could then form working groups to enable cross-team collaboration to move towards our specific goals.
Currently we lack a lot of understanding of the potential implications of something like this, how we can ensure the project doesn't get hijacked, that we don't drift too far from our mission statement, etc etc...
If you have a background in sociology and/or relevant experience from other projects then I would love to reach out and be able to discuss this in more detail!
So this morning I updated my #postmarketOS phone, and it uninstalled modem packages. After a reboot, I have no SMS or calls anymore.
Turns out (I think) I got a partial update, because not all packages were built by CI yet… and the solution is to check https://build.postmarketos.org/ before every update or else this might happen again! What! This seems like very important information to have out there. Perhaps apk could block an update if it sees missing packages?
Huh? I had to hard power off my #postmarketOS OnePlus 6T and now it's stuck in Fastboot with Secure Boot = Yes set. No idea what happened, I just held down the power button to reboot it. Probably means I'll have to wipe to oem unlock again? Rebooting it just goes back into fastboot.
Audio is working for #PostmarketOS on #Fairphone5! 🎉
Congrats to Alexandre Ferrieux, who achieved this result, and to all contributors of @postmarketOS for providing a truly alternative and independent operating system for mobile! 💚
Now, AFAIK, Fairphone 5 will become the first mobile device where almost everything works with pmOS 🤩
