<h2>We Built the Foundation</h2>

<p>When we announced the Librem 5 phone campaign we set out to
build a phone from scratch that respects your freedoms and
protects your privacy and security while also competing with
the existing phone duopoly. We knew that this would be a
massive undertaking, so instead of doing too many things and
doing them poorly, we stayed focused and committed to the
Librem 5 shipping with core functionality in place such as
the ability to place phone calls, send text messages, and
browse the web.</p>
<p>By focusing on the operating system and core features we
knew that the Librem 5 would ship with a solid foundation we
all could build on top of.</p>
<p>This was not an easy task but here we are, about to cross
the finish line and ship our mass-produced "Evergreen" batch
of the Librem 5 phone! Along the way we have developed a
convergent operating system PureOS by developing and
releasing an adaptive mobile and desktop combined GUI
(phosh), and developed and released all the code around the
underlying modules (phoc, squeekboard, libhandy,
libfeedbackd, etc). We also authored and released software
applications including Calls to manage phone calls and
Chatty to manage text and other messaging. We have also
advanced true convergence–the ability to shrink your desktop
environment down to your pocket–to allow the power of
desktop computing software all from your mobile phone.</p>
<p>We have had our heads down focused on this goal for a long
time, but now that we are about to cross this historic
milestone, we are ready to lift our heads up, look around,
and ask “what’s next?” Now that we have laid the foundation,
we can start building the rest of the house.</p>
<h3>This is where you come in</h3>
<p>As we build this house, we want to make it a place you
don’t just want to visit, but want to live full-time. As we
transition the Librem 5 from core functionality into your
"daily driver" we know that there is probably at least one
“killer app” or feature you depend on right now that isn’t
yet on the Librem 5. The challenge is that everyone has a
different killer app! We want to focus our next efforts
where they will help the most people transition the Librem 5
into their daily driver, so today we are announcing the
“Fund Your App” campaign which will give you an opportunity
to vote with your dollar and fund the areas you’d like us to
advance.</p>
