Excited to announce that the FOSS on Mobile devroom returns for #fosdem 2026! 🥳

Communities from multiple Linux Mobile projects come together there and hold talks about what was achieved, what challenges lie ahead, how we can collaborate to solve them, as well as random interesting things happening when replacing Google's Android on our phones.

If you have been doing cool stuff in this ecosystem, we want to hear from you - consider submitting a talk!

Thanks to @flypig from the Sailfish OS community for organizing the CfP and thanks to @fosdem for having us again!
