I have just started the second year of my two year term on the F-Droid board.

One of my goals for my first year was to improve the board's diversity, and I am pretty darned happy with how that is turning out.

I have also helped drive forward some important policy-related stuff.

Let's see what this year brings.

I must admit that, thanks to Google, I am not massively optimistic about the future of Android and Free software.

I'm also spending some of my volunteering time on non-Android mobile Linux projects, because I think that they are increasingly important and necessary.

If I had to put my money on something other than GrapheneOS, it would probably be postmarketOS.

But I was pretty impressed with Ubuntu Touch when I tried it again recently after a few years.

I've also wondered about a better separation of connected and non-connected mobile devices, and whether that would be worth exploring.

@neil By “connected and non-connected” do you mean something like wandering around with a stock Android or iOS device, or even a smart-enough “feature phone“ in your pocket but doing everything which needs any privacy at all through a Linux device tethered to it?

@edavies Or a cellular modem / Mi-Fi. But yes, that kind of thing.
