hope you all had an awesome #FOSDEM, we sure did! All our leaflets gone, many people stopped by to show off their phones or play with ours, and a lot of "wow i really need to get this on my device" we had some amazing talks too at the FOSS on Mobile devroom, and some outreach by @npub188an...xt96 presenting pmbootstrap in the embedded devroom. Huge thanks to everyone who helped run the stand and (hopefully) not lose their voices in the process :D Safe travels and see you next year

Speaking of postmarketOS edge blog posts: If you run a postmarketOS install from 2022 or earlier and are about to upgrade to current pmOS edge, you need to take manual action to ensure /boot is in your /etc/fstab:
The first postmarketOS edge images with systemd are now available, lots more are building as of writing! See the updated edge blog post for more information: Huge thanks to everybody who has been involved in making this possible! :ablobcatheartsqueeze:
Update: the #systemd merger is in progress. We recommend NOT updating your devices which are running #postmarketOS edge until this is complete. We are currently working through some issues with the changes to A full explanation of the changes and our recommendations for migrating your devices to systemd will be published once things are ready! In the mean time, refresh at will
We plan to merge systemd into postmarketOS edge tomorrow (Friday, 2025-01-10) :git: Please note that it will take some time until all systemd related packages and images are built, and that pmaports CI and building your own images may not behave as expected on this day.
