 linsui | I didn't get the point that one can setup a repo because the code is free. Well, even if the code is not free, one can setup a repo. And even if the code is free, third-party repo may be not supported. | 06:41:10 |
![@_oftc_Licaon_Kter[xmpp]:matrix.org](./avatar/Licaon_Kter%5Bxmpp%5D) Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | You can setup repos without fdroidserver? (Or repomaker or etc from fdroid) | 06:42:14 |
| linsui | It doesn't need to be FOSS though. | 06:44:06 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | Yes, but _"...it free"_ | 06:48:33 |

All active languages should have active reviewers now. Feel free to ping me if anyone want to become a reviewer. Ping 🙂 Username: gunchleoc. Locale: gd | 06:48:35 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | We make it clear | 06:48:43 |

Ping 🙂 Username: gunchleoc. Locale: gd Will take a look soon. | 06:49:27 |
| GunChleoc (co-shaoghal.net) | Oh, never mind, I did overlook that I can approve already | 06:50:58 |

We make it clear I'm confused mainly because I don't know what this sentence what to tell me. Why one can setup a repo? Or why third-party repos are supported? Or the third-party repo is also FOSS? It's not clear to me. | 06:53:50 |

Oh, never mind, I did overlook that I can approve already If you are one of the most active tranlators of your language, then you should have been set as a reviewer. And you are the Team administrator so you can add other tranlators as reviewer of yout language. | 06:56:51 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | This is not the place to clear that up. | 06:57:05 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | Wanna know more? Read the rest of thu docs :shrug: | 06:57:05 |
| GunChleoc (co-shaoghal.net) | Here's an example of a third-party repo: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/ If they use the F-Droid code to host it, it's automatically FOSS because of the AGPL license | 06:57:37 |
| GunChleoc (co-shaoghal.net) | Possible reasons to want to set up a repo:
- Distribute the hosting load
- Have a different list of curated apps with different inclusion criteria, like Izzy
- Company-controlled devices to restrict which apps can be installed, and/or provide company-internal software

| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | What? The hosting server is foss, yes | 07:03:41 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | The content can be proprietary apps. No relation between the two. | 07:03:41 |
| GunChleoc (co-shaoghal.net) | That's true | 07:09:24 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | linsui: you need to talk about this, to make it clear that everything is free, that one can make their own repo, client, basically their own ~catalogue~store. | 07:10:56 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | Because, the duopoly marketing throws money to beat the drums about _"their one true store"_ continously. Normies can't even *imagine* something like F-Droid. | 07:12:06 |

linsui: you need to talk about this, to make it clear that everything is free, that one can make their own repo, client, basically their own ~catalogue~store. Me? | 07:12:13 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | Not "you", more like "we" more like "fdroid" | 07:12:34 |
| linsui | Yes, right, we all need to promot FOSS. But the sentence is not clear to me. | 07:13:54 |
| Licaon_Kter[xmpp] | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 07:18:53 |
 paulali | Hi linsui ,please grant skoech and I reviewer privileges for Swahili?
Thanks. | 07:33:18 |
| linsui | skoech is already the Team administrator. You can ask them to add you. | 07:34:26 |
| linsui | It seems another Team administrator smmayero is not active anymore? | 07:37:43 |
| paulali | Thanks Linsui, I think smmayero still is active. I'll reach out to them to find out. | 07:48:20 |
