Community Spaces

Mainlining communities and other related projects

The postmarketOS project is part of an ecosystem of Linux (Mobile) communities, that play many important roles such as mainlining specific SoCs. These communities are managed by different people, and are generally independent of each other and the postmarketOS project. However, due to the nature of collaboration, it is not uncommon that members of those communities wear multiple hats (e.g. mainline community maintainer and postmarketOS team member). Unless otherwise stated, maintainers in related communities act as individuals and not as representatives of the postmarketOS project. Unless explicitly requested and listed below, projects related to postmarketOS are not part of the postmarketOS community spaces.
