We are happy to announce the FOSS on mobile devices devroom at FOSDEM 2024! This devroom is about everything related to Linux and Free Software on Linux-first based smartphones (such as the Librem 5 or the PinePhone) and other mobile devices running a regular (non-Android) Linux kernel. The topics can range from the very first bytes the bootloader runs, up to the 1 pixel offset you're fixing in your favorite toolkit. If you have been hacking, designing or reverse engineering in this field we would love to hear what you have been up to! ## Call for Participation We are excited to invite the great communities around different projects to submit their talks. We are interested in seeing your demos, hearing your presentations and engaging in lively discussions with developers and users. Please bear in mind that all talks will be given in person this year.
