Real Linux on Phones?!

Workshop: “Real” Linux on phones?! No phone needed 😉

This workshop is about Linux on phones. We will have a look about what Linux phone projects are out there.

For the workshop we will get our hands dirty with the postmarketOS project. You will build your own “phone-Linux” image for x86/64 that runs with QEMU. For the Desktop Environments you can try different ones, such as KDE Plasma mobile, phosh or others.

In the end I will give a short recap of why I think Linux on phones is a great learning opportunity to look under the hood of embedded Linux.

I studied Software Engineering in Hagenberg. My master thesis dealt with cross-platform portability of .NET applications under Mono on Linux, specifically with the HeuristicLab optimization framework. I handle most of the boring stuff at fhLUG, such as organizing events and taking care of the website. Talks I have given have covered several diverse topics, including typesetting with LaTeX, version control with Git, the Neo keyboard layout, the Vim text editor, regular expressions, and shell scripting.
