Marc Prud'hommeaux
Marc Prud'hommeaux is an F-Droid board member and the founder of the App Fair Project. He has been writing software for 40 years, and developing mobile apps for Android and iOS since 2008.
In recent years, Marc has participated in various workgroups and symposiums on the enforcement of the European Digital Markets Act and has direct experience with the challenges of bringing free software to the app marketplaces controlled by Apple and Google. He launched and maintains keepandroidopen.org to resist the upcoming Android Developer Verification program announced by Google in 2025, and has formally challenged Apple's compliance with the DMA 6(4) requirement that gatekeepers open their platforms to outside app distribution.
He has a degree in philosophy from Cornell University but tries to maintain an optimistic disposition.
