+title: What’s happening (or not) at Replicant
+---
+Two months ago, I (Paul Kocialkowski) gave a talk about [reached milestones
+and ongoing development on Replicant][1] at [FOSDEM][2], one of the biggest
+yearly European gatherings of free software developers. 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!
