Talk is cheap. Contribute to postmarketOS. You can translate, code, test-drive or donate. The more people realise this the quicker we'll have a properly FLOSS mobile landscape and an alternative upon which to build apps and other things.

    Why PostmarketOS and not Mobian, Sailfish, or Ubuntu Touch?

    Why not fork Android?

    What hardware deals are being made between Postmarket and phone manufacturers? Do they have a development timeline? How far are you guys from 1.0? Come on, action speaks.

    Given googles latest updates might need to be a hard fork. The issue is who will build the phone if android based they can't make any other "authorized" android devices, since that is part of the play services ToS. (This actually has had me annoyed with Google+android for a 5-8 years now..)
