[LetuxOS] [OHSW.org] [Tinkerphones-Stammtisch] Happy New Year - and a better new year

[H. Nikolaus Schaller]

Hi Josua,
nice to hear from you!

Well, it really became quiet on all relevant mailing lists [1]. It looks as if there is no critical mass any more
for topics that had been interesting in the past 15 years. I.e. OpenMoko, QtMoko, GTA04 etc. or people
have moved to different media. Well, 15 years is a long time and people usually have changed priorities in
their live during such a time frame.

And there are similar projects like we had done back then with newer means. E.g. Libre, PinePhone, ShiftPhone etc.
They have set up their own community tools.

But as far as I see all of them are absolute niche an none of them got the same attractivity and general public
attention as the original Openmoko got back in 2007. Well, it is like sending people to the moon for the second
time. Nice, still challenging technology. But no breakthrough any more. No revolutionary approach. Smaller
media coverage.

So I have added some more mailing lists (even if this is some duplication) and let't see who else answers
on which list and expresses interest.
