Compared to last year, we decided to do the recording inside the cafeteria instead of outside, and on Sunday instead of Saturday. Twice the amount of FOSDEM days to talk about, and with more people talking in the background. Enjoy!

Featuring @z3ntu, @ollieparanoid, @pabloyoyoista, @craftyguy, @Newbyte, @dos, @PureTryOut, @linmob (in order of appearance), also @~r (sampled in the outro)...

Clayton totally surprises us for real, with his announcement of working full-time on postmarketOS from now on. Furthermore we are super hyped about the upcoming FOSDEM 2024 (as we release this episode, only a week away!) and talk among other topics about how you could become a Trusted Contributor.

This time we did a mix of an interview and an event report with Anjan from Sxmo who just was at FOSSY 2023 in Portland, OR, USA. Sxmo is a minimalist environment for Linux mobile devices, allowing you to run a tiling window manager on your smartphone.

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...
