During the last few years we've seen no less than 2 phones ship with Linux installed out of the box, a large uptick in the number of Linux distributions targeting mobile devices, and big improvements to the usability of user interfaces and apps on mobile devices. But as the band Chicago once said, "where do we go from here?" This talk won't provide any definitive answers for what comes next, but hopes to introduce some ideas for what the community can do so that Linux Mobile continues to grow.
