+title: Replicant source code hosting and RMLL 2015
+---
+As mentioned a few months ago, Gitorious is closing down and even though the
+Replicant [project page][1] can still be reached there, cloning the
+repositories has been broken for some time. After thoroughly evaluating all
+the hosting possibilities for Replicant (thanks to the many suggestions from
+the community!), we have finally reached a decision. We didn’t want to be
+affiliated with a hosting provider that doesn’t match Replicant’s core values,
+that are all about software freedom. In addition, it seemed better not to be
+hosted by a third party, to ensure the security of the source code. These
+criteria left us with very little choice available, but thankfully, we were
+able to comply with them, as the Replicant source code is now hosted by the
+[Free Software Foundaton][2], at [git.replicant.us][3]!
+
+We are very thankful to the FSF for providing us with that solution and the
+hardware required for our needs (the Replicant source code is very large).
+Eventually, we will move all the Replicant source there, as opposed to only
+the parts of CyanogenMod and AOSP that we modified, so that we don’t have to
+rely on any third party at all.
+
+With all those discussions going on, I almost forgot to mention that I will be
+taking part in [RMLL/LSM][4] again this summer. The event takes place in
+Beauvais, France (near Paris) from July 6th to 10th (sorry for the short
+notice). I will be presenting two talks there, [one about the overall state of
+the Replicant project][5], in French, and one about [liberating mobile devices
+from the ground up][6], in English. In addition, I will be taking part in a
+workshop on free embedded devices in room 219, were I will show a few embedded
+devices running free software.
+
+As usual, everyone is welcome to come, say hi and have a nice chat. It’s also
+possible to verify the [Replicant release GPG key][7] in person to trust the
+verification of our images releases. And of course, I’ll be available to help
+install Replicant on supported devices!
