Building a deGoogled and privacy-friendly and open source mobile ecosystem: the story behind /e/OS
In this session, I tell the story of /e/OS since the end of 2017, when I started a Kickstarter campaign to test the idea and raise some funds for the project, to now, with dozen thousands for the OS and the cloud and several millions revenues.
How to build a community, how to attract developers, how to communicate, how to start first sales, how to gain first academic recognition, all this with a 100% remote organization.
