How/where does one contribute? Is there a guide specifically for this (phone/pinephone development). I couldn't quite figure it out from the mobian repo ):

- megous 6y agoIcenowy did the initial board bringup, I think: https://github.com/Icenowy https://github.com/Icenowy I don't know if Samuel accepts donations, but his contact info is here: https://sholland.org/about/ https://sholland.org/about/ (he's responsible for the huge power saving optimizations that PinePhone got this year, and for the sound codec improvements, that were necessary for making calls work) And I have a page here: https://xnux.eu/contribute.html https://xnux.eu/contribute.html As for the mobian I don't know. I don't follow distributions that much.
- tpxl 6y agoI meant code contributions, but thanks for the links ;)
- megous 6y agoAh, you can contribute just by doing something for the project you're interested in. None of the development is centrally organized. There's plenty of stuff to do. I can give you a bunch of hints if you're a kernel dev. :)
- tpxl 6y agoI'm not (yet?) a kernel dev; I haven't ever contributed to any OS project, but I'd like to start with the pinephone.
- megous 6y agoBootlin has some very nice introductory training materials online: https://bootlin.com/doc/training/linux-kernel/ https://bootlin.com/doc/training/linux-kernel/ https://bootlin.com/docs/ https://bootlin.com/docs/ Allwinner SoC used in PinePhone has a longstanding community around it organized around http://linux-sunxi.org/ http://linux-sunxi.org/ There are a lot of materials, including datasheets there, etc. https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/PinePhone https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/PinePhone wiki also has a lot of information. #pinedev at freenode is where the kernel development discussion happens, so feel free to join there.
