If you feel ad idem and want to lend a hand, or head, to #FDroid pro bono and bona fide, you can help in our ongoing efforts ad infinitum.

Would it be possible to fund a scientific survey on how many people would buy a 100% free-as-in-freedom computer (desktop, mobile, TV, e-reader etc) if it was a ) available in a local shop, b) everything just worked out-of-the-box, and c) the #UX was not only as good, but better, than a proprietary OS? With solid numbers on demand, it might be easier to convince hardware companies to sell #RespectsYourFreedom compatible components. #FSF? #FSFE? #SFLC? #SFC? #OSI #EFF?
