Hi folks,<p>As free software developers around the world we can publish/distribute our free/open source projects as many forms, like language package (pythons's pip, perls' cpan, node's npm and such) or as source code form (with github, sourceforce, even self hosted) or as binary. even some volunteers doing packaging our project's for us to more easly distribute (deb, rpm, exe and many other packaging systems)<p>But, we dont have any option to publish our mobile free/open softwares except our self to make payment for mobile app platforms (like ios, android, etc.) (specially for ios, we can distribute our software's as apk our selfs but there is a marketing and trust issue for this option)<p>So, why we dont create an open/free software publishing organization? they can obtain to developer keys for all mobile platforms and they can build our softwares from source code and published to mobile markets.<p>i believe mobile development platform companies can give access to their machines (one or two) to build softwares developed with their tech.<p>and free/open platforms, organizations (like open source community) can make some little donation to this organizastion for expensives (money or machines or code review stuff).<p>And ofcourse all source code has to be reviewed for some bad code like collecting user information to remote servers and/or advertising sdk's before the build and/or publish.<p>so what you think? do we need such this organization? if we have, can we make it?
