I was thrilled to meet +people interested in Replicant there and pleased to chat with many other free +software developers, working on various fields. As usual, talks were recorded +and most of those recordings are now available on the [FOSDEM website][3], +with no exception for the [embedded devroom][4], where I gave my talk and +joined an [embedded freedom roundtable][5] with Carsten Munk from Jolla and +the attendance. A WebM version of the talk is available on the +[Conferences][6] page of the wiki. + +Back from FOSDEM, most of my work was focused on U-Boot (the universal +bootloader) for the LG Optimus Black and Sunxi (Allwinner) devices. Things are +starting to look good on the LG Optimus Black, which now correctly boots +Android without random run-time faults. As usual, things are moving very +slowly due to the lack of time. The next step there will be to submit the +first batch of LG Optimus Black support for inclusion in upstream U-Boot. + +The Replicant code itself hasn’t changed much in the past months, since I am +focusing on bootloaders development at this point. In addition, Gitorious is +now closing down and while we have all the source code uploaded there backed +up, we’re looking for an alternative solution that doesn’t compromise on the +core values behind Replicant and offers significant guarantees. Because of +this situation, nothing is to be committed to the repositories before they are +moved to a new location, that we are yet to find. +However, some security updates were kindly submitted by the community and +those will be reviewed and integrated as soon as everything is back up and +running. + +So hopefully, things will start moving faster in a bit! + + [1]: <https://fosdem.org/2015/schedule/event/replicant_embedded_freedom/> + + [2]: <https://fosdem.org/2015/> + + [3]: <https://video.fosdem.org/2015/> + + [4]: <https://video.fosdem.org/2015/devroom-embedded/> + + [5]: <https://fosdem.org/2015/schedule/event/embedded_freedom/> + + [6]: +<https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/Conferences#FOSDEM-2015> + + |
