The video from my #FOSDEM talk "Mobile Browsers: the Best of Times, the Worst of Times" is now up online. It was a real privilege to present in the FOSS on Mobile devroom 📱 Thanks to the organisers, everyone who attended and also to everyone who was so gracious about it afterwards. I can get quite anxious in the weeks running up to a talk, but speaking at FOSDEM always feels worth it.

FOSDEM 2025 - Mobile Browsers: the Best of Times, the Worst of Times

#FOSDEM #FOSDEM25 #LinuxOnMobile #Browser #Embedded

Really had an amazing day at #FOSDEM today. The #LinuxOnMobile stand was absolutely *heaving* all day (as were our neighbouring @postmarketOS (old account) and @CalyxOS stands) even after all the other stands had left. So much interest in #AsteroidOS, #SailfishOS, #Mobian and @LINux on MOBile So great to see so many new and familiar faces. My only regret is that I didn't get to go to any talks. I'll have to set aside two weekends to watch all the videos!

If you're at #FOSDEM and interested in running #Linux on your phone or watch (you should be!) then swing by the #LinuxOnMobile stand on Saturday or Sunday in building K, stand K1-C-6! We'll have #AsteroidOS, #Mobian, #SailfishOS, the @jolla Mind2 and more to test out and try. @LINux on MOBile will be there with stickers and insight. Plus @postmarketOS (old account) and @CalyxOS are right next door!

The Alan Turing Institute will be well-represented at #FOSDEM this year! My colleagues from @Research Engineering @ Turing and @The Turing Way Project (no official Turing Mastodon account yet 😞) have been involved with the Python, Open Research and HPC/Big Data/Data Science devrooms. Open Research:

FOSDEM 2025 - Open Research

Python:

FOSDEM 2025 - Python

HPC/Big Data/Data Science:

FOSDEM 2025 - HPC, Big Data & Data Science

We also have six separate presentations across a whole range of different topics. 1/7

There's a bunch of exciting #SailfishOS stuff happening at #FOSDEM this year: 1. The #LinuxOnMobile stand will have phones to try. I'll be there, please come say "Hi"! 2. A Sailfish social event Saturday night (they're always amazing). 3. A Sailfish Community BoF on Sunday with the @jolla team. Plus a bunch of talks in the devrooms. Looking forward to an amazing event!

FOSDEM 2025 - Sailfish OS Community BoF

If you're heading to #FOSDEM with a #SailfishOS phone there's a new FOSDEM25 app for this year with: 1. Improved higher-res map of ULB. 2. Improved guestbook. Grab it from OpenRepos or (hopefully, eventually) Chum:

My #JollaC2 Community Edition phone is finally fully working and I'm spending a bit of time getting to know it. I like the physical feel, although some aspects will take a little getting used to (big screen, rounded corners, notch). I do appreciate the subtle touches like "Privacy from Finland" printed on the camera bump. Captures the spirit of #SailfishOS. Can't deny I'm thrilled to see #Gecko ESR91 running on it. Now to spend some time getting the software set up just right!

The #SailfishOS community news, last of the year, is now out! 🎄 There's a summary of the grand opening of the @jolla AI factory in Salo 🤖 🏭 Jolla C2 and Mind2 updates 📱 Xperia updates 📱 and Sailfish OS 5.0 updates 🐟 Plus Damien's repository roundup 🐙 and my app roundup of 2024 📲 🎄 🎁 ☃️ 🎄 🎁 ☃️ 🎄 🎁 ☃️

Choosing a small, low-powered, home server, with so many options, each with their own benefits, is no easy task. But I have finally chosen and this is my rationale.
