In 2011, Canonical announced Ubuntu touch but failed later. And before Canonical, some companies tried and also failed.
So in this talk, I, as a user who's been using GNU/Linux on desktop computers for almost 10 years and Android/Linux since 2009, tries to give my personal view about why last time we failed and why this time we'll have a bigger opportunity to succeed.
I'll cover following topic:
how Android become a lock down platform step-by step
why Ubuntu touch failed last time
why I don't think halium is not a good approach to open mobile computing platform
Analysis Linux mobile today(strengths, weakness, opportunity and threats)
what can we do to promote the ecosystem
A person who's addicted to FOSS.
A Debian Maintainer.
An amateur radio operator and also volunteer examiner for the USA amateur radio test.
And also, an odorite.
