F-Droid will soon have stricter requirements for apps showing up in the "Latest" tab in the F-Droid app:
https://news.f-droid.org/posts/2019-03-26-the-latest-tab-now-highlights-good-descriptions/
If you are an app developer consider adding good descriptions, screenshots and a "Whats's New" section for your app.
If you notice that your favourite app doesn't fulfill all these requirements consider notifying the app's developers or just help them with a merge request adding the missing info to the source repo.
We're looking to map out all technical details for how #Android apps are #tracking people, if you have ideas or more info, please submit them to our issue tracker! https://gitlab.com/trackingthetrackers/wiki/issues #TrackingTheTrackers

Would people be interested in supporting #FDroid development via Patreon?
We also started an #opencollective now: https://opencollective.com/f-droid
Expect more news and proper promotion soon. We are planning on adding proper support for opencollective into #fdroid as soon.
We just enabled #liberapay donations in all available currencies!
Previously we were only accepting USD or EUR. If you couldn't donate because of that you should be able to do that now.

Our next #BinaryTransparency log is to monitor all the binaries for #Android SDK components that are #FreeSoftware. Those binaries are central to Android development, and #Google has done some strange things with them in the past. Its implemented as a git repo and has a basic JSON API https://gitlab.com/fdroid/android-sdk-transparency-log#readme

Beispiel: Ich finde die App DAVx5 unverzichtbar, weil ich darüber meine Kontakte und Kalender synchronisiere.
Bitte nur eine Nennung pro Account. Bin gespannt, was alles so zusammenkommt

Any #Android dev out there looking for a new (and probably easy) project?
I just found Nextcloud Cookbook (/com/android/quickstep) which lacks an Android counter-part. Even "View only" would be great (for the kitchen). All data is stored in files, one sub-dir per recipe, well structured JSON for data (plus image files if there are any with the recipe).
Who takes the challenge and writes a small viewer?

Nächste Woche am Donnerstag, den 13.02.2020 (das ist der Tag vor dem I love Free Software Day treffen sich die Unterstützerïnnen der #FSFE dann wieder in #Berlin, genauer im Jugendclub E-LOK ab 19 Uhr in der Laskerstraße 6-8 unweit vom Bahnhof Ostkreuz.
Wir freuen uns sehr, dass wir Marcus Hoffmann ( @Bubu ) als Referenten zum Thema F-Droid gewinnen konnten.
Marcus ist einer der Kernentwickler von #F-Droid und wird mit uns den aktuellen Stand, die Weiterentwicklung und die mögliche Beteiligung besprechen.
Ansonsten gibt es wie immer in der E-LOK gutes Essen und Getränke zu angenehmen Preisen. Gute Stimmung bringt ihr erfahrungsgemäß mit. Der Zugang zur E-LOK erfolgt über die rechte Einfahrt zu den Laskerhöfen.
