Gemeinsam zeigen wir dem #Senat und der #WBM: (...)

❗ Berlin kämpft für diesen Ort❗

Denn
das SEZ ist mehr als irgendein Gebäude:
Es ist ein #Ort der Begegnung und der Bewegung – ein Stück #Berliner Stadtgeschichte.

Kommt vorbei, bringt #Freunde, #Familie #Kinder und Nachbarn, #Vereine, #Sportvereine z.B. #ADFC #Naturfreunde mit.

Jede Person zählt! Je mehr wir sind, desto klarer die Botschaft:
👉 Das SEZ muss bleiben!
👉 Abriss stoppen – jetzt!

... Hilfreich ist es auch, wenn ganz viele UnterstützerInnen zur #Anhörung am Vormittag des 02.03.2026 ins #Abgeordnetenhaus kommen. Eine Anmeldung ist eine Woche vorher über den Besucherdienst des Abgeordnetenhauses möglich.

Ebenso wichtig ist es, den Druck auf die Abgeordneten und #Senator*innen aufrecht zu erhalten. Bitte fordert ein #Abrissmoratorium bis zu einer fundierten gesellschaftlichen und politischen Entscheidung über die Zukunft des SEZ-Areals.

Vielen Dank.

I'm writing this post here today in hopes to bring some attention to something that is near and dear to my heart, and that's an update to the current situation with Nova Launcher, that I worked for and with for nine years up until August of 2024.

For those that haven't seen the news, Kevin Barry, the founder and developer of Nova has left Branch which in turn means he's now no longer involved with Nova Launcher in any way going forward.

https://teslacoilapps.com/nova/solong.html

For the past year or so Kevin has stated that he was working on the open source version of Nova Launcher so that if/when this time came, it would be out in the open and the community could take it over and contribute to it and have it continue being developed.

However, it seems that Harish Thimmappa and others at Branch had told him to stop working on that effort as they didn't want him to continue doing that for unknown reasons. This is sad news because this was something that former CEO, Alex Austin, had promised both via a contract and publicly that if Kevin were to ever leave Branch, Nova Launcher would become open source. You can find that quote here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/w2q6al/comment/igzoniu/

and another very similar quote with similar conversation here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/w2q6al/comment/ih25ntz/

The reason for this post is to try and draw some attention to the folks at Branch, specifically folks like Harish Thimmappa to do the right thing and honor these promises and any writings in the contracts from 2022 and to fully focus on releasing Nova Launcher as an open source app.

The community deserves this more than anything, since that was something that Kevin was very adamant about when he allowed Branch to acquire Nova Launcher back in 2022. Plus, this is just something that Branch should do since it is something that has been promised.

There is currently a petition on Change.org to try and get Branch to do this as well. After only 3 days of it being posted to Change.org, it sits at almost 1,500 signatures, and that's with very little to no press coverage at this time, which is something that would be super useful to bring full attention to this situation. You can find the petition here:

https://www.change.org/p/make-nova-launcher-open-source-let-the-community-continue-its-development

I ask that everyone who sees this post can share it with their followers as I would love to see Branch do the right thing and follow through with their promises that were made back in 2022 when they acquired Nova Launcher and release it fully as an open source app now that Kevin is no longer working for Branch and not involved in Nova Launcher.

I'm going to tag some folks below that I worked with at Branch in hopes of getting this post seen by as many folks there as possible.
