F-Droid

in an "Pilot project — De-monopolized access to EU applications"... "The focus of the pilot project includes EU institutions releasing their apps on existing alternative app stores, including f-droid that aims at promoting apps released under open source licenses"

@travisfw @fdroidorg The paper is also talking about releasing the source as well as the apk files. I think they mainly want to build the pipeline systems that handle these things for every release. So the funding would probably only go towards setting up the build pipeline, not directly to F-Droid. But this is just my speculation.

Either way, public recognition by the #EU will benefit #FDroid in the long run, at least a little.

@fell @fdroidorg thanks for letting me know all that! Glad to hear F-Droid is getting the recognition and more.

@fdroidorg that is a remarkebly long and dull document
