Das Zeug kommt hier täglich vorbei. Der Link führt zu einer Domain, der man also getrost unterstellen kann, mit Malware infiziert zu sein. Möchte jemand raten, welche das ist? Eine vage Idee haben einige jetzt bestimmt schon, also kann ich auch "Butter bei die Fische" geben:

Also don't miss:
* at around 10:10 a full minute on IzzyOnDroid (though more the client written by Sunil)
* short mentions at around 08:54 (our "Get it on" badge) and 14:03 (in context of Obtainium).
I was just a bit confused of what the narrator meant when saying "app store" (hint: not the store, but always the client app) 🙈
And as Sylvia writes: our download stats are now included with both, #NeoStore and #Droidify – and of course with stats.izzyondroid.org/ 
I like it being called "App store", even if it is wrong, but it help for people to understand what it is used for. The app store in which each app is free.
And still I hate using the word "app". It's an application, or a device driver, or a kernel, or a whatever........
@kobold I'm with you there concerning the terminology – but what twists the hay between my ears is: calling the client "app store", to me sounds like calling the shopping cart "supermarket" 🙈
Sorry, no offense meant at all, that well might just be me…
FOSDEM 2026 (Brussels): Sun Feb 1, 09:35 CET, UB5.230 (my last talk)
Accessible Sovereignty: Why the Four Freedoms Depend on Inclusion (Community devroom)
Thesis: the Four Freedoms are not real if people with disabilities cannot use the tools, study them, share them, and improve them in practice. Accessibility is the operational layer that makes software freedom exercisable.
FOSDEM 2026 (Brussels): I am speaking (again) Sat Jan 31, 16:05 CET in K.3.401.
“We Need to Support Authors Better to Deliver Accessible Content”
Track: Collaboration & Content Management 
Thesis: Many accessibility errors are introduced when documents are authored.
Audits just record the damage.

“Procurement Is the Biggest Form of Fundraising for FLOSS”
Track: Funding the FOSS Ecosystem 
Thesis: donations are optional and fragile. Procurement is structural. If public buyers require open deliverables and upstream work, they create durable funding for maintenance and security.
