Additional Comment:
It seems like the trend of open source is expanding not just more broadly in regions: Europe adopting it. But also in natural expansions: open source hardware.
Would be interesting if we can get a couple more opensource communities up and running and get more people interested in open source in various ways.
opensourcevehicles/opensourcetransit seems like the next logical step. (I would like to help with this)
Extra Side Notes:
Another area that can be good is opensourcebusiness (Everything related to starting, running, etc a business to make it more accessible for people. Would help more open source companies be made as well overtime)
opensourceanimation/anime (grow that part of the community to collaborate with for visual presentations of open source projects. Animated Tux would be amazing. An anime Krita mascot intro. We can get really creative), opensourcevalues (teaching values and ethics: hope, empathy, strength, we the people, gratitude, humble, etc) and opensourceuxui (grow that part of the community too to collaborate with. UX/UI community struggles with at times) to expand on main opensource software/hardware communities themselves
Personal Note:
2 more being opensourcehealth (To give a baseline of health resources people can make use of), open source housing, opensourcefood, open source water, and opensourcefinances (Baseline of finance resources). All that is more of a personal want but don’t know if there is much want in the open source community for those 5.
Time for Open Source Community EV's to Be Made. Anybody want to do something like that?

Valve If You Are Listening Here Are More Accessories That Would Be Awesome!!
A gaming phone controller accessory that connects physically to phone (With same layout and functionality like the Steam Controller, Steam Deck, and Steam Frame Controllers) Would be cheaper than regular Steam Controller With FEX making x86 Steam games capable of working on ARM devices it will be cool to game on mobile with mobile controller that has the dual touch control pad things the hardware above has to go with the phone and what better way than another option aside from the actual controller. Plus it gives phone more of a Gameboy Advance type of feel to play like that Maybe to incentivize more people to have that you can use gaming phone accessory wirelessly or wired connected to any Steam hardware for using your phone with the gaming phone controller accessory as controllers too Like the idea? Not like the idea? Anyone wanna suggest changes/additions/etc to the idea to be better be my guest. Also if anyone wants to suggest other stuff Valve can do then please do!! All of us together can ask for the ecosystem to grow in ways that are good and fun for us all!! Trying to help make gaming better for us all!
What are the best ways to be part of Open Source Community and the Movement To Grow It?
Think of This As: What Would You Suggest To People Who Want to Grow And Be Part of Open Source Community? What should I/other people know about for events to go to, and what groups to join to be part of online to help make the most positive impacts? What organizations should I get in contact with to assist their missions to grow what is possible? (Whatever you suggest can help other people too who are just now and onward joining the community. Think of any way that can really grow it) I am learning a lot by doing for various things for my own projects and contributions to open source but what would I have to do to fully be part of the community In-Person and Online to grow it in various good ways? Near-term I want to help in spare time with growing Mobile, UI/UX, Marketing, Ways to Show Which Projects Need Funding, Bring New Devs To Open Source, Ways to Help Encourage Collaboration on Projects That Need Devs/Other Fields, Animation, and Social Media parts of open source community. Also want to grow long-term the worldwide movement to make open source transportation of anything and everything a reality: HSR, trains, trams, cars, bike-cars, bikes, walking bikes, submarines, motorcycles, VTOLs, airships. etc Help me/other people help you all! Please and thanks!
From YouTube to PeerTube
I enjoy PeerTube for what it is. But we have to talk about how PeerTube is I would say the one open source app that is getting the least amount of new users So wanted to bring up some points on how we can improve it in some ways: - It is too complex with not enough up to date guides and videos on how to set it up for most people - Need new open source frontend client mobile apps to make it simpler to sign up, sign in, & watch videos/channels on it - The website for sign up is not very user-friendly and like a semi-maze for people who are new Anything else you would like to add or say about PeerTube in general? It’s a phenomenal project and backend will of course stay the same but it needs a better pipeline of people and creators to it Also check out post by another person below mine about Keep Android Open
To all European Union/Europe Open Source/Linux Enthusiasts
I was trying to think for a couple days on what can be done to make Linux phones a reality. Then I realized the EU is already pushing for more Open Source/ Linux to be made so why not make the most of it? So if I may make a couple suggestions for Europe Linux enthusiasts and collectively all of us to push for: 1st. For EU and Europe to partner up with PostmarketOS, Mobian, Ubuntu Touch, and FSF Librephone Project to fund/produce/distribute open source repairable changable OS linux phones . Then for future tablets. 2nd. For EU and Europe to partner up with KDE, Framework, and Tuxedo Computers to fund/produce/distribute Laptops/Computers Linux Community over there has so much ability to grow Linux if everyone there collectively gets it done. I humbly request you do that and I’ll do the same. Who should I call to get all this going as well? Want to help do this in a way that benefits all sides while keeping those projects independent (I would have posted this on LinuxPhone but this community is way bigger and still open source related) Really hoping all of you in and out of Europe and EU can push for it to be done. “Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, You’re My Only Hope”
