[GLLUG] Linux coming to iPhone and iPad

[Chris Kohlhepp]

Hello Greater London Linux Users,

I have been working on a Linux-Apps-on-iPhone-&-iPad solution, called 
QMole, for the last two years.
QMole's intention is twofold: 1) _enable graphical Linux applications on 
the IOS platform_ and
2) _enable on-iPad development without the need for an Apple developer 
account_. Given the
massive user base of the IOS platform, this is a potentially big step 
for the Linux platform as
a whole.

This comes against a backdrop of every greater encroachment on user 
choice and freedom.
Now a user who has root access to the hardware they legitimately 
purchased is deemed to
"jailbreak" suggesting somehow that this is not legitimate. Yet all the 
user has done
is what would be a matter of course with any other, non smartphone, 
computer platform.

Linux fought this battle before in a different dimension: with Windows.
People have taken this victory for granted. Like elsewhere, freedoms not 
watched over, erode.
I want to reverse this trend before it is too late --- as the smartphone 
takes over from PC.

That is why I created QMole.  I am hoping to unleash a tide of Linux 
users and more importantly
developers to descend on the dominant smartphone platform.

Please support and donate to our Kickstarter campaign at :

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/chriskohlhepp/qmole-a-linux-desktop-system-for-the-ipad

You are in a unique position to gives this project visibility if you 
agree with its goal and spirit.

Your help would be much appreciated.

Best Regards

Chris Kohlhepp
