postmarketOS FOSDEM 2026 and hackathon recap

The postmarketOS projecthas publisheda recap from FOSDEM2026, including the FOSS onMobile devroom, and a summary of its post-FOSDEMhackathon. This includes decisions on governance and the project'sAI policy:

AI policy: our current AIpolicy does not state that we forbid the use of generative AI inpostmarketOS, so far this document just lists why we think it is a badidea and misaligned with the project values. We discussed this andwill soon change it (via merge request) to clearly state that we don'twant generative AI to be used in the project. It was also noted thatcurrently the policy is too long, it would make sense to split it intothe actual policy and still keep, but separate the reasoning fromit.

[...] Power delegation and teams: in over twohours we discussed how to move forward with [postmarketOS changerequest] PMCR0008 to organizeourselves better, and how it fits with soon having a legal entity. Wefigured that we need to rename "The Board" (which is currently forfinancial oversight) to "Financial Team", as we will soon have a newboard for the legal entity. In the end our idea was to have the newboard refer to an "assembly" for all important decisions, and this"assembly" would just be all Trusted Contributors in postmarketOS. TheCore Contributors team would be dissolved in favor of having severaltopic-specific teams (a lot of which we already have, such as theinfra team). This way we would have a very flat decisionstructure. The PMCR will be updated soon and discussed furtherthere. Caseyalso asked on fedi for further feedback and got a lot of input.
