title: Replicant source code hosting and RMLL 2015
authors: Paul Kocialkowski
---
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!
