In 1998, I created Mandrake Linux, because I was both a fan of Linux and wasn't happy with Windows. It’s been a long time, and I’m very pleased to have been one of the actors who contributed to make the Linux desktop a credible option.
Since then, the smartphone has emerged. And it’s now a “companion of life” for many of us. But I realized this year that I was using an iPhone, a Mac and Google services more and more. I realized that I had become lazy and that my data privacy had vanished.
/e/ recognises the need shared by everyone for better data privacy. The eelo project will provide an alternative digital ecosystem mobile operating system and associated web-services, including secure email, cloud storage, and online office tools.
Let's build something new! An attractive mobile OS with associated services, in the public interest, with a better respect of user data privacy.
/e/ is an open source, non-profit project, in the public interest.
Patreon will help me to be 2000% full-time on the development of /e/, and make it a great success.
