Is there a bunch of work going on from the team there in preparation for the Purism Librem 5, or is that mostly their efforts that happen to rely on your tech?
Sadly it’s ended up being the latter. We’d like to help them, but doing so would pull time away from the core Matrix stuff, which would require us to fund more people to cover the work. They haven’t been able to supply any funding, so we’re supporting them on a best effort basis instead.
I guess it depends on your definition of 'partnering'. Right now I'm sitting in a Fractal / Librem5 workshop in Strasbourg with a bunch of GNOME and Purism folk, trying to advise on how GNOME can use Matrix well. We were also expecting to be funded to work on the Librem5 on a better than best effort basis, but it seems there wasn't enough $.
