| The [[https://www.mobian.org/|Mobian]] project aims to bring Debian to mobile devices. Over time, the idea is to minimize the Mobian specific pieces by “upstreaming” customization to the original projects. It is maintained by 2 distinct (but overlapping) teams: * the [[Teams/Mobian|Mobian team]] is responsible for maintaining downstream packages (containing non-upstreamable patches and/or not ready for inclusion into Debian) and non-packaging tasks, such as image generation and distribution * the [[Teams/DebianOnMobile|DebianOnMobile team]] maintains packages which are already part of the Debian archive. |
