Let's get this done.

I know that Chen is offering one device. I'm still willing contribute towards a second device either to the Leste team or a device/bounty to someone willing to work on an AnBox port (assuming Sailfish, I am not sure if that is possible on Leste).

Just to clarify, Anbox is possible on both. The possible problem with Anbox is that its Android base will need to be updated to Android 9 if it is desired to use device's OpenGL drivers directly.

Wouldn't claim to be the founder (I think that would be freemangordon), but I am one of the main devs, and I will be giving a talk at FOSDEM about Maemo Leste: https://fosdem.org/2020/schedule/event/smartphones/ - so FOSDEM might indeed be a good moment to pass that along.

Parazyd will be there too, freemangordon probably won't be, I think?

Yes, I won't be.

However, I still wonder how we're going to boot the device with upstream kernel. I am under the impression this is not possible ATM.

I think Sailfish for Xperia 10 is based on the Android 9 kernel. Isn't this the case with the community port for Pro 1?

Indeed, I think it's not possible ATM - but that might change.

Some link was posted a few months ago, now i just found this: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pa...-MSM8998-Modem. So it might be possible?

The link is about booting the modem processor via remoteproc, but you need to first boot the main CPU(s) to linux to be able to boot remote processors.

There's also this, but the prebuilt images magically disappeared from the repo:

What about this link: https://www.werts.nl/linux-kernel-5-...-is-whats-new/
It´s about linux 5.4:

A bunch of ARM-based laptops running the Snapdragon 835 SoC are supported by Linux 5.4, including the ASUS NovaGo, HP Envy X2 and the Lenovo Miix 630.

If the Leste team is getting a device from Chenliangchen himself, there is also a possibility to donate for Elros34 and/or Preflex if they are interested, because their chroot scripts are really amazing on a Pro¹, or to people behind PostmarketOS, or to SFOS porters who only have pre-production units. Don't get me wrong, more devices in the Leste team would be great too, but the other possibilities are interesting too in my opinion.
