[nmglug] Purism/Librem phone app development

[Brian O'Keefe]

I'll check it out. about 15 years ago a FOSS phone was being developed, 
forget the name. It was an alternative to the iPhone but FOSS and 
anarchistic developers. It got to a testing stage and a bunch of 
interested people bought the Beta version to try and test it and bring 
it up to speed. tiny screen, about the size of a big flip phone (open). 
It died on the vine as it couldn't approach the rapid development of the 
iPhone and the many others that came on the market. My comments are only 
for historical perspective and I would love such a phone to be 
developed. Lots of marketing and capital issues I would think.
