October 25, 2023#35 INTERVIEW: a-wai, devrtz, kop316 (of Mobian Fame)
In a somewhat chaotic and much longer recording session than what ended up in
the final episode, we had a very good time talking to our friends from Mobian.
As you can guess from the name, Mobian brings Mobile and Debian together,
similar to what postmarketOS does on top of Alpine Linux.
Featuring @kop316, @ollieparanoid, @devrtz, @calebccff, @PureTryOut, @a-wai (in
order of appearance).
Mobian accepts donations via Liberapay.

You rotate your phone and the UI rotates as well. Sounds simple, right? In this
episode Caleb explains us why implementing it for SDM845 requires far more
complexity than one may think - among many other topics.

April 23, 2023#30 INTERVIEW: Natanael Copa (of Alpine Linux Fame)
Natanael Copa joins us to talk about Alpine's story. From being dead scared to
fork the initial version off from Gentoo to Alpine becoming bigger than himself
and making sure it stays around with a good bus factor. If you ever wondered
how exactly apk is so incredibly fast, that is also covered - and what plans
there are to make it even faster in the future. Also what would be necessary to
get reproducible builds in Alpine and more. Enjoy!

February 12, 2023#28 FOSDEM 2023 Special
Between the Saturday closing of FOSDEM 2023 and going to a restaurant, we
managed to squeeze around a table outside the cafeteria to record the very
first ever in-person postmarketOS podcast episode! Fresh in the moment we share
our experiences from the FOSS on mobile devroom, meeting great people at the
Linux on Mobile stand (and everywhere else at FOSDEM/in Brussels) and random
other cool things that were going down.
Featuring @spaetz (sampled in the intro), @ollieparanoid, @linmob, @craftyguy,
@MartijnBraam, @calebccff, @PureTryOut, @z3ntu (in order of appearance).

@calebccff: "recorded the first in person @postmarketOS podcast episode LIVE from #FOSDEM !"
@craftyguy: "#postmarketOS core team... Assemble!"
@awai: "The beauty and diversity of the #LinuxOnMobile bazaar!"

@linmob: "#FOSDEM was really awesome, it only went by too quickly!…"

is still causing problems for people on the PinePhone. Big thanks to @enues
from mesa who was talking to us at the stand and is now looking into it! We
also have issue
pmaports#805 about
screen freezes. If you are affected by this and would like to help out, firing
up a profiler and making/contributing to detailed, useful bugreports upstream
at mesa is appreciated.
@spaetz from Mobian did a great job at moderating the devroom! (Correction:
Ollie said from Maemo instead of Mobian in the recording.)

December 12, 2022#26 Mastodon, Mailbag, v22.12, RISC-V, pmbootstrap CI
Like every other podcast in your feed we give our two cents on what's been
happening in the Fediverse, like why it's really great to see so many free
software related projects and people moving over from that bird site. And that
one should seriously consider supporting the admins of the instance they are
using with a monthly donation or something. Besides that, we share some news on
soon-to-be-released v22.12 such as call audio support for OP6 and other cool
stuff that has been happening.
