Youngsters in my country are not aware of the name of fdroid. In case they do, they’re afraid of downloading apps from its repositories because of the warnings shown by Android phones.
If I wish to take fdroid across to colleges in lndia, shall I get active support from the fdroid team ?
If you write it fdroid not sure anyone here knows it either 
Start by spelling it properly as F-Droid
Now, take it were and how? What’s the plan? How are you prepared for https://keepandroidopen.org ?
Thanks for suggesting this website as a starter 
BTW, which city in India?
I intend to start off with Barrackpore and the two colleges close to my house. Barrackpore is famous for Mangal Pandey by the way 
Yup I know.
What’s the difference between f-droid and izzyondroid ?
Are you Chirayu Desai ? In that case, you probably know the colleges close to my house ?
We are f-droid.org
Izzy is hosting a compatible repository, that has other apps chosen by them independently
Assuming that app stores are aimed for discovery of software, easy installation of the apps, updates and security, how does f-droid score over playstore/apple/samsung or even amazon ? We need to have an easy reader friendly blog for this purpose.
Install the client (bug blue button on main page) and test yourself.
That’s how experience works.
/PS: once installed, and index loaded, go to the F-Droid app page, upper right menu, check “allow beta” to update to the soon-to-be-released version 
Fair enough for me. But over here, youngsters are primarily acquainted with playstore, apple and Amazon. What would be the general motive for switching over to f-droid casting aside such popular app stores ?
We need a blog on this.
F-Droid focuses on FOSS and I thought that’s the only reason why users want to use it. If those students don’t care about FOSS and an open Android I don’t think they have any motivation to switch to F-Droid. And Apple users can’t switch to F-Droid anyway since F-Droid is an Android app store.
Right ! And here’s the catch. We need to motivate more and more young people to use FOSS. We need to establish exactly why we ought to move away from the proprietary products.
We have plenty on News | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository
And more info on Docs | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository
Please don’t fish for somebody doing the work for you, FLOSS works if everyone contributes.
I’d argue that FLOSS has many properties that might entice users, like transparency, reachability, etc without them caring “why”
What’s your motive in switching? Tell them your personal thoughts and arguments instead of someone else’s.
Software freedom is an abstraction. If you tell a layman about it they will reply: “So what? I’m not a programmer.”
It’s necessary to explain why freedom is important for each particular person.
i search for some basic ass app on playstore - 9/10 times i get add ridden bloated mess that’s barely if at all fit for purpose
i search on fdroid and i get normal lightweight app that’s fit for purpose
so you can sell it like that - straightforward, pragmatic, genuine, clean, pure, holy, saint, virgin, vegan, no additives, all natural
the only problem is fdroid has some useless apps that are just someone’s programming 101 homework or something, so gotta sift through those a bit, no biggie though so far
That’s a nice point to highlight, thanks 
But saint, virgin, vegan are absolute hilarious terms
