Hello Sydney Linux Users,

I have been working on a Linux-Apps-on-iPhone-&-iPad solution, called
QMole, for the last two years.
QMole's intention is twofold: 1) enable graphical Linux applications on the
IOS platform and
2) enable on-iPad development without the need for an Apple developer
account. Given the
massive user base of the IOS platform, this is a potentially big step for
the Linux platform as
a whole.

This comes against a backdrop of every greater encroachment on user choice
and freedom.
Now a user who has root access to the hardware they legitimately purchased
is deemed to
"jailbreak" suggesting somehow that this is not legitimate. Yet all the
user has done
is what would be a matter of course with any other, non smartphone,
computer platform.

Linux fought this battle before in a different dimension: with Windows.
People have taken this victory for granted. Like elsewhere, freedoms not
watched over, erode.
I want to reverse this trend before it is too late --- as the smartphone
takes over from PC.

That is why I created QMole.  I am hoping to unleash a tide of Linux users
and more importantly
developers to descend on the dominant smartphone platform.

Please support and donate to our Kickstarter campaign at :

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/chriskohlhepp/qmole-a-linux-desktop-system-for-the-ipad

You are in a unique position to gives this project visibility if you agree
with its goal and spirit.

Your help would be much appreciated.

Best Regards

Chris Kohlhepp
