Since #android gets closed, I am thinking about how to develop #applications in the future.

I would like to stay with #java , since that's what I am most familiar with.

My applications should, besides a #linux #desktop, also run on #mobiles , once #linux becomes more mature on them (e.g. #postmarketos, #mobian , #ubuntutouch ).

Is it #javafx , or #qtjamba ?

Or even something completely different?

What to use? What is expected to be mostly compatible with future #mobile #devices running mainline #linux ?

Have been experimenting with both, #javafx and #qujamba, using #apache #netbeans as my #ide, and both make a nice impression and work well.

Any comments?

🎙️ Whoever placed a bunch of big tables and benches at the ULB parkinglot rocks, having those allowed us to record a podcast featuring fifteen (!) people sharing their experiences on FOSDEM Sunday. Lots of folks from postmarketOS and special guests:

* @ariadne from Alpine Linux
* @flypig from Sailfish OS
* @1peter10 from LINMOB.net

Huge thanks to @williamtries and @tgm for editing this episode!

Looking for a cozy Sunday project? The fairly new #postmarketOS documentation website docs.postmarketos.org has some low hanging fruit that might be interesting to some folks

The guide for upgrading to new postmarketOS releases needs to be ported over from the wiki: https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/docs.postmarketos.org/-/work_items/25

And the artwork repo which contains our style guide should be added to the docs website so its more easily available: https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/docs.postmarketos.org/-/work_items/32

Move Upgrade wiki page to docs.postmarketos.org (#25) · Issues · postmarketOS / docs.postmarketos.org · GitLab

The 'new release upgrade' page at https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Upgrade_to_a_newer_postmarketOS_release should probably be moved to docs.postmarketos.org.
