We're putting together some grant applications, and are wondering what skills and availability exist in our wider community 🧑‍🏭✨

We're particularly looking for people who can do feature work and technical management around things like GNOME, Flatpak, systemd, Freedesktop, Pipewire, ModemManager, etc.

Contact us if you think you'd be a good fit, either DM or email hi@modal.cx

The first Reflection Developer Labs session is *tomorrow* 🌈

If you have a GTK app idea (or existing app) that would benefit from local-first sync, this is for you!

New blog post: Why "digital sovereignty" requires a free software alternative to Android and iOS, and how we're building towards that 🏗️

In case you didn't make it to FOSDEM (or didn't manage to get in the packed room), the recording of our talk is now available!

@adz@post.lurk.org and @tbernard@mastodon.social are talking about our broader goals and the ongoing work on p2panda and Reflection.

The #ReflectionDeveloperLabs sessions are starting soon! It's a series of online events for GTK app developers to learn more about local-first, and give us feedback on what they need to add local-first sync to their apps 🪴🔃

First session: March 3, 15:00 CET, online

We'll give an introduction to the stack and present the WIP new p2panda node/client APIs and GObject bindings to get early feedback.

You can sign up here: https://pad.gnome.org/4uGYejbVSxO8LUPQRQZW-w

#BoilingTheOcean 9 is next weekend (Feb 13-15)! This time our main topic is identity in peer-to-peer systems. How can we prevent impersonation? What about large groups? What are defenses against physical attacks?

On Friday night we'll have a talk and discussion on these questions at @offline@autonomous.zone. Over the weekend we're at Cultivation Space to work through some of these questions (and hack on our other usual topics like mobile, GNOME UX, and more!)

Hello FOSDEM! The Modal team is in Brussels in full force this week.

Many of us are attending the GNOME OS hackfest, and @adz@post.lurk.org and @tbernard@mastodon.social have a talk in the Local First room on Sunday: https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/MCVBNK-p2panda-modal-reflection

Let us know if you want to meet up :)

Calling all GTK app developers!

As part of the Reflection project we want to lay the groundwork for an ecosystem of native GTK apps with local-first sync/collaboration features. To do this in the most effective way possible we're asking for your input!

Hello world! We are Modal, a new collective born out of the local Berlin community around Linux infrastructure. We're involved in projects like GNOME, postmarketOS, p2panda, and systemd.

We organize the #BoilingTheOcean events, and work upstream on a number of difficult problems in emancipatory computing, including local-first networking, mainline Linux on phones, and platform security.

Our long-term goal: A free software platform that's competitive with the iPhone 🌈
