FirefoxOS/Fairphone
This page describes the efforts we are currently working on about porting Firefox OS on the Fairphone device.
This page is for project management, not for end-user support or code documentation.
Current project ignition actions
To do
- Take the FxOS/Fairphone discussion in an other place than Reps mailing list (B2G mailinglist) so porting question can get more/better attention [NicolasWeb]
- Post something too in xda-developers: it might also be a good place to build a community around the port [NicolasWeb]
- Contact FairPhone before they release they new phone to coordinate and improve interaction. Kind of Mozilla Rep [NicolasWeb]
- Contact Firefox OS Device functional team [NicolasWeb]
- Building project tools:
- MDN Page [NicolasWeb]
- Sumo thread [NicolasWeb]
- Improve the general porting plan [Dietrich, NicolasWeb]
