Side note - if FSF wants its message to reach a wider audience and get more people to care about free software it should really get out of its own bubble. Why wasn't this streamed and archived on YouTube? Yes, this is a rhetoric question - I know perfectly why. My point here is - and let me make a colorful analogy:
If you're, say, a Scientology missionary, what the hell is the point of preaching inside of your own church, to people who are already Scientologists? If you want to be an effective missionary you go out where the non-believers are, and you don't immediately tell people about Xenu, the planetary ruler from 70 million years ago, or else they'll immediately dismiss you and think you're batshit crazy. You ease them in step-by-step.
FSF puts ideological purity as an absolute number one (e.g. recommend Trisquel GNU/Linux, which is pretty much unusable on most machines for normal people), and they refuse to spread the message on platforms where non-free-software people are (e.g. YouTube), and then we're all surprised that the free software movement is dying, and non-copyleft licenses are dominating (although, yes, there are other reasons for that too).

> Librephone is a new initiative by the FSF to bring full computing freedom to mobile computing environments. The LibrePhone Project is a partnership with Rob Savoye, a developer who has worked on free software (including the GNU toolchain) since the 1980.
I found very little info about it online. There is this github org:
https://github.com/LibrePhone
which mirrors PostMarketOS: https://github.com/LibrePhone/pmOS, 'The Linux distribution for mobile devices and beyond…'

Probably not related, it's unlikely that the FSF would host anything on GitHub.
