KDE supports the "Keep Android Open" campaign

#Google will cut off independent developers to #Android if they do not register with Google first. This will kill independent platforms like @fdroidorg and severely impede FLOSS devs from creating apps for Android.

Many KDE apps are deployed for Android: KDE Connect, Itinerary, Tokodon, and there's even a test version of Krita for Android.

KDE calls on Google to reverse course and @keepandroidopen.

Today we join various other FOSS advocacy groups like @fsfe @fdroidorg @eff in addressing an open letter to Google about #keepandroidopen We need open ecosystems and the move to "sideload" software has set a bad paradigm for having control over our devices. You can read more about it here:

SFC signs open letter to Keep Android Open

Today Software Freedom Conservancy joins many other organizations in signing an open letter to Google asking that Android continue to allow people to install what they want on their phones. Recent policy changes within Google will restrict installation options by requiring developers to register their legal names, adding new gatekeeping that can arbitrarily deny app installation or delete existing apps from your phone.

Recently, #QGIS has been officially recognized as a Digital Public Good ( #DPG ) by the Digital Public Goods Alliance. With colleague @mrak we agreed it would be great to support projects we use in our research by proposing them to the #DPGA.

I always used the Integrated Software for Imagers and Spectrometers (#ISIS) developed from more than 30 years by the #USGS Astrogeology Science Center and developed/distributed as FOSS. It would be a first good candidate!

Other suggestions?

I am bidding farewell to my days of unemp....freedom with a gift to you all: a globe you can look at!
