## State of Maemo Leste

"Working towards a stable (smart)phone."

Ivan J. <[email protected]>


## 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!
