## State of Maemo Leste "Working towards a stable (smart)phone." Ivan J. ## What? * Mobile OS for phones and tablets * Based on Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) * No vendor kernels: only mainline (with minimal patches) * GNU/Linux experience: freedom, hackability (and bugs? 💩) ## Why? * Tired of Android and other mobile OSes * Open, hackable, and not locked down * Fun! * Practical, lots of software already exists * Community developed! ## What happened in 2019 * Latest mainline kernels for Nokia N900 and Motorola Droid4 * With some PowerVR patches that are on their way to mainline ## What happened in 2019 * Latest mainline kernels for Nokia N900 and Motorola Droid4 * With some PowerVR patches that are on their way to mainline * Faster Nokia charging * Now allows ~950mA rate ## What happened in 2019 * Latest mainline kernels for Nokia N900 and Motorola Droid4 * With some PowerVR patches that are on their way to mainline * Faster Nokia charging * Now allows ~950mA rate * Initial Droid4 ofono support * Path to phone calls and SMS, along with cellular data ## What happened in 2019 * Latest mainline kernels for Nokia N900 and Motorola Droid4 * With some PowerVR patches that are on their way to mainline * Faster Nokia charging * Now allows ~950mA rate * Initial Droid4 ofono support * Path to phone calls and SMS, along with cellular data * Pinephone devkit * Anakin and Dontbeevil * FOSDEM lightning talk * Got more people interested ## What happened in 2019 * Latest mainline kernels for Nokia N900 and Motorola Droid4 * With some PowerVR patches that are on their way to mainline * Faster Nokia charging * Now allows ~950mA rate * Initial Droid4 ofono support * Path to phone calls and SMS, along with cellular data * Pinephone devkit * Anakin and Dontbeevil * FOSDEM lightning talk * Got more people interested * 4G/LTE support * and appropriate connection interfaces ## What happened in 2019 * Latest mainline kernels for Nokia N900 and Motorola Droid4 * With some PowerVR patches that are on their way to mainline * Faster Nokia charging * Now allows ~950mA rate * Initial Droid4 ofono support * Path to phone calls and SMS, along with cellular data * Pinephone devkit * Anakin and Dontbeevil * FOSDEM lightning talk * Got more people interested * 4G/LTE support * and appropriate connection interfaces * Games!
