September 29th marks the anniversary of the open‑source app repository we all love.

Why it matters: F‑Droid’s mission aligns well with CoMaps—both champion Free/Libre Open‑Source Software (FLOSS) and community‑driven innovation.

Let’s keep building a freer tech ecosystem together!

No one entity should. Corporations are the enemy.

"If [Google's unilateral policy] were to be put into effect, developer registration decree will end the F-Droid project... as we know it today."
