There are plenty of ways we could go about building a mobile OS commons.
Most obviously AOSP could be forked, with distros like Replicant, /e/OS Lineageand Graphene rebasing on a community-driven variant of Android. With a de-Goggled stewardship organisation they all contribute dev resources and funds to as they can.
Also Mobile GNU is forging ahead. If you want to try it out, get hold of a PinePhone, Librem5, or an Android device that supports postmarketOS.

The GNU Project turned 40 on Tuesday. Congratulations GNU!
In honour of the achievements of the multitude of talented people who have contributed to GNU over the last 40 years, I'm going to pull finger and teach mysefl how to install an updated mobile GNU OS on my PinePhone (props to the @PINE64 crew).

Anyone out there willing to get on a voice/ video call and talk me through installing a fresh OS on a PinePhone? Sometimes over the next couple of weeks would be great.
I'm an old hand at replacing Windows with GNU/Linux on desktops and laptops, but I've never tried to install an OS on a mobile device.

If Snikket or Element could integrate the email protocol support from Delta Chat, in a way that supported E2EE with DC users (using Autocrypt), that would be my ideal comms client. Same if Delta Chat could support voice and video calling, over XMPP, matrix, and Jami protocols. Will SMS apps for MobileGNU integrate all this?

Can I suggest using a landscape UI, rather than a portrait, for entering an encryption passphrase when booting a mobile device? That would allow for a larger keyboard, as well as a longer area for the dots that appear as a user types each passphrase character.
