We have a new blog post about the Mobifree project and our role in it.
In short, it's a human-centered, ethical alternative, that champions privacy over profit and believes in collaboration, sustainability and inclusiveness.
Is there more information out there from people who did take such grants in the past? I find it really hard to wrap my head around how to allocate and estimate such a grant for my project.
@chfkch@fdroidorg That's not quite correct. #Mobifree subgrant projects must be related to the #Mobifree partner projects, that doesn't rule out projects useful to #LinuxMobile. Some ideas:
A free software driver for some phone hardware that can be used for @e_mydata and Linux Mobile.
Improvements to Ubuntu Touch or others that are beneficial to @delta, either @deltatouch or the regular Linux version.
Android-compatibility layers for Linux Mobile (e.g. an Android flatpak runtime).

I have version 1.20 on both devices Android 8 and Android 10 (see first picture):
On Android 8 I have all the changelogs as shown on F-Droid page for that app (on both examples it shows the changelogs as expected);
On Android 10 it shows only a portion of them (it doesn't show on Conversations but on Delta Icon Pack it's there). The weird part is the fact it actually shows some of them but not all...
I only notice this difference on 1.20, sorry!
@wolfytuga@fdroidorg For Conversations, if you expand the versions list at the bottom, can you send screenshots of that showing the installed version? Also, what happens when you press that MORE button above the screenshots on Android 10?
@el_haych2024 We track the EU DMA process in weeklies on https://f-droid.org/news. EU wants to open the mobile ecosystems, to empower their users. Apps will be fine in 15 and onward.
@fdroidorg Great changes! I do wonder, with the DMA now forcing Apple to open up and allow more stores, is there any interest at all in making an F-Droid version for iOS?
It would be so much easier to develop iOS apps for internal testing if we can just ship them as a F-Droid repository. I was thinking of setting that up for Android but right now having the same distribution method for both platforms (Firebase) is more convenient.
PSA: The panic button features built into F-Droid break when targeting newer Android SDK versions (e.g. #targetSdkVersion) due to new restrictions.
It might be possible to get them working again, but we currently do not have the bandwidth to maintain this. We welcome contributions to get it going again. Until then, removing the panic features looks to be our only responsible course of action. #CalyxOS includes built-in panic features like app removal, so that is a recommended replacement.
