Lipstick is no longer crashing. +The Maliit on-screen keyboard is now appearing. Key controls improvements have been made to +the qt quick controls in Nemo. Furthermore, the NGFD settings have been fixed. Additionally, +the project was showcased at the FOSDEM conference as part of the Linux on Mobile stand. + +In previous builds, the Lipstick compositor experienced [crashing issues when setting the top-level window](https://github.com/nemomobile-ux/lipstick/commit/68af06a4a26e2ba288ee94b3ad59ae1d9519633b). + +Progress has been made in [porting the Maliit on-screen keyboard to Qt6](https://gitlab.manjaro.org/manjaro-arm/packages/community/nemo-ux/maliit-framework-qt6/-/commit/0e2b99e013cbf0a96f46014beb86296b066e0a33), +moving the project forward.

Furthermore, the qt quick controls in Nemo have been enhanced with keyboard navigation support. + + + +For a period of time, there were issues with the Non-Graphical Feedback Daemon (NGFD), which handles +the sound notifications for incoming phone calls or messages. The crashing of NGFD has been addressed +in previous fixes, and now the correct configuration file for [PinePhone has been provided](https://github.com/neochapay/nemo-device-dont_be_evil/commit/92bac87f800f54d4f89e3592ab4159ff1b9358da), +resolving the issue. + + + +We were fortunate to showcase the results of our work at FOSDEM, Europe’s largest open-source event. +Nemomobile was featured as part of the [Linux On Mobile](https://www.linuxonmobile.net/) stand, +alongside other mobile Linux platforms such as postmarket OS, Sailfish OS, Ubuntu Touch, AsteroidOS, +and others. It was a pleasure to reconnect with old friends and engage in discussions about future +development. Currently, Nemomobile remains in a very raw state, resembling more of a toy project +or sandbox for experimenting with new ideas. diff --git a/images/2024-03-01-nemomobile-in-february-2024/image20240203_095538296.jpg b/images/2024-03-01-nemomobile-in-february-2024/image20240203_095538296.jpg new file mode 100644 index 000000000..c7fa85533 Binary files /dev/null and b/images/2024-03-01-nemomobile-in-february-2024/image20240203_095538296.jpg differ diff --git a/images/2024-03-01-nemomobile-in-february-2024/photo1707743430.jpeg b/images/2024-03-01-nemomobile-in-february-2024/photo1707743430.jpeg new file mode 100644 index 000000000..a8395e99b Binary files /dev/null and b/images/2024-03-01-nemomobile-in-february-2024/photo1707743430.jpeg differ
