Time for a fully open version? What is there already out there? (Excuse my Android fork ignorance :)

Librem SocialHans-Christoph Steiner (@eighthave@librem.one)"Exclusive: Google will develop the Android OS fully in private..." Looking again at https://www.androidauthority.com/google-android-development-aosp-3538503/ I really think that was a PR piece, e.g. #Google's PR firm put together the story for #Android Authority. Its got all the markings, the "Exclusive" part, the uncritical eye "Google is simply consolidating its development efforts into a single branch", minimizing harm to custom ROMs, "custom ROMs will largely also see little change" etc #AOSP #PublicRelations #FreeSoftware #ClosedSource

@1br0wn Yes indeed, it would be great to have a community controlled version of #AOSP. The hard part is that Google still is the largest contributor to Android by a large margin. The ROM projects have started to work together, but not enough to get community control. The #CalyxOS team has put quite a bit of effort into trying to get this idea going. The key would be to get companies to switch to a community-controlled version, e.g. Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, Oppo, etc.

@eighthave @1br0wn I imagine the Chinese companies might not have much choice soon enough. Followed by others headquartered in countries which upset Mad King Donald
