h1. FSF and Replicant agreement The FSF and developers (Denis Carikli and Paul Kocialkowski) representing the Replicant project have made an "agreement":https://redmine.replicant.us/attachments/download/1600/fsf-replicant-sponsorship-agreement.pdf in 2013 that enables the FSF to conduct "fundraising":https://crm.fsf.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=19 in the name of Replicant and governs fund usage. In a nutshell: * The FSF holds Replicant funds and acts like an umbrella Organization. * The person that is designed to be in contact with the FSF is Denis Carikli. * The people responsible for fund usage decisions are Paul Kocialkowski and Denis Carikli * Our contact at the FSF is John Sullivan h2.

Result | | €45.00 45 Euros | 1x Odroid U3 | David 'dllud' Ludovino | <pre> He needs it to test the hardware bringup and set-up of the Mali GPU with the mainline Lima kernel driver. According to him, people have been reporting some difficulty on the Galaxy SIII, while things seem to be working ok with ODROID U3. Also, at least one core Lima developer has access to one ODROID U3, and used it to add support for the Exynos4412 SoC. If he or GrimKriegor who works with him stumble upon many unknowns in the Galaxy SIII they can use the ODROID for some testing. </pre> | * Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli: Agreed * Joonas Kylmälä: Agreed * Filippo Bergamo: Agreed | | €39.00 39 E | 1x Odroid U3 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | <pre> We have now someone IRC who is working to understand if it's possible to run a fully free bootloader on the Galaxy SIII. Since she knows a lot of people that could help as well, including people that know how to find bootrom exploits, we have increased a lot the probability of having a fully free bootloader on the Galaxy SIII and other devices with the Exynos 4412. There is also an u-boot port for the Galaxy SIII and similar devices by Simon Shields, which currently depends on a nonfree and non-redistributable first stage. When he sent that code upstream, it broke booting on the Odroid U3[1], so the code was not merged. This would allow GNUtoo or other Replicant contributors[2] get the support for the Galaxy SIII and similar devices merged upstream. References: ----------- [1]http://u-boot.10912.n7.nabble.com/PATCH-0-7-Exynos4412-SPL-support-td341181.html [2]GNUtoo could also bring it at the FOSDEM and pass it on to someone who would be interested in doing that work. </pre> | * Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli: Agreed * Joonas Kylmälä: Agreed * Filippo Bergamo: Agreed | h2.

Conventions Several devices were bought with Replicant's money. They were typically used to do new ports, or to make sure that the new main Replicant developper doing most of the work could continue supporting a given device. If my memory is good, one probably has been resold (with the money going to Replicant ) because the port was too complicated (graphics were too slow). Other devices were donated to the Replicant project and/or individuals working on it. It's not always clear to whom the devices are donated but donors typically donate them to enable to work on them and/or do something useful with them. Even if it's not always clear who the device belongs to, at the end of the day it's not very important as the convention is, when meeting other developers that need the device to work on it, to bring and to pass it along there. Developers having devices passed to them are typically Replicant developers, but potential other developers were not excluded if they wanted to work on things that were aligned with the goals of Replicant or freedom. Here are the known devices where it is unclear if the device belongs to the individual or the Replicant project: |_. Date |_. What |_. Provenance |_. Location |_.
