    aims to create a fully free and open mobile platform

    So it doesn’t actually exist? I cannot find any information about it at all.

    Cue my lack of surprise when they realize there are no 5g compatible basebands with open firmware, and you can’t practically make your own.

    I will be even less surprised that they probably won’t support 5g at all.

      I haven’t found anything either. Seems like it was an event and they just now announced it there. So it makes sense that there may not be any project page or documentation yet. Which is unfortunate.

      And when you search for it you see articles reporting about this with titles like “it’s finally here!”. So stupid. Misleading.
