Financement participatif
We need to support the project and pay developers for development work to reach first viable “privacy-enabled” /e/ products that users will be able to install on their own phones or order on quantity-limited pre-installed /e/ smartphones.
Ensuite, nous serons en mesure d'attirer plus de contributeurs et le projet deviendra naturellement durable au fur et à mesure qu'il évoluera avec des nouvelles versions.

Duval
Since then, the smartphone has emerged. And it’s now a “companion of life” for many of us. But I realized this year that I was using an iPhone, a Mac and Google services more and more. I realized that I had become lazy and that my data privacy had vanished.
And I’m definitely not happy with that situation. I’m not happy with this situation because iOS is proprietary and I prefer open-source Software. I’m not happy because Apple is going crazy with their latest products, and even iOS is leaking a lot of personal data to Google (for 9Bn$ a year in return!). They are more and more expensive, and not really exciting.
I’m also not happy with Google and others like them. They have become too big and are tracking us by capturing a lot of information about what we do. They want to know us as much as possible to sell advertising. Like millions of others, I’VE BECOME A PRODUCT OF GOOGLE.
I want to stop that, at least for myself. People are free to do what they want. They can choose to be voluntary slaves. But I do not want this situation for me anymore.
Reconquérir ma vie privée
Je veux reconquérir ma vie privée. Mes données sont MES données. Et je veux utiliser autant que possible un logiciel Open Source.
Mais en même temps, les alternatives qui existent actuellement ne correspondent pas exactement à mes besoins. Tout d'abord, je ne veux pas utiliser Android d'origine: c'est Google partout et je n'aime pas son interface utilisateur par défaut. Il y a aussi d'autres initiatives qui ne correspondent pas à ce que je recherche. Je veux quelque chose de cohérent et confortable à utiliser, comme iOS ou MacOS. Je veux quelque chose que je pourrais recommander à mes parents ou à mes enfants. Et je veux quelque chose qui respecte ma vie privée.
Ce que je veux pourrait être construit à partir de briques existantes dans un délai raisonnable et il serait accompagné de bons outils en ligne tels que le bureau, le stockage en nuage et les services de messagerie.
Construisons quelque chose de nouveau : /e/
Cette « nouvelle approche » sera - autant que possible - open source. Et pour que moi et les autres apprécions de l'utiliser, il doit être conçu de manière attrayante.
À sa base, il sera issu de LineageOS qui est open source et peut exécuter des applications Android grand public. En plus de cela, de superbes modules open source seront ajoutés pour former un système Web et mobile cohérent.
I’ve called the project “/e/ ” because eels are small fishes that can hide in the sea. That’s perfect for my quest for more privacy. And we have a nice logo:
Un projet d'intérêt général
Non-profit doesn’t mean nothing will be for sale. We envisage selling preloaded /e/ smartphones, and providing premium services for corporates. We will also work with corporates who want to make some business with our Open Source products. But profit won’t be /e/‘s primary focus.
And as a community project, /e/ will welcome contributors.
Nous avons déjà des premiers résultats !
Our first positive results at proof-of-concept stage are described on this page. In September 2018, we have also released a first beta of /e/ mobile operating system and online services! It’s available on a selection of devices (about 20 and counting!) and already received some nice press coverage.
First /e/ prototype smartphone OS
We initially started to review alternative web-services that would be compatible with the /e/ project and that we would be able to customize and integrate with the /e/ mobile operating system.
/e/ vision: devices and web services with privacy respect
