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! [1]: [2]: [3]: [4]: [5]: [6]: [7]:
