  Question:
  Had you ever tried to offer key to key people in the software world, a working phone with Ubuntu Touch (or showed a phone in a meeting/conference/party/second business breakfast), so they may notice this project may show some support?

  Let's say like Pavel Durov, Telegram's dad or Spotify CEO,
  Netflix People to download chapters in the tablet , a Bank or Important company to let us create or have native apps?

  In less words, what do you think we are missing in order to have permission from those big companies to build or they can build us apps for our beloved platform?

  P.S. I know we have Teleports . . . ah, but maybe we haven't had official support because the main people don't know about the project.

  P.S. 2 - Does Marius will eat the sock he promised or he has a working Desktop Version of Ubuntu Touch(when is the due date)?

  Dear all,

  We have an exciting update to share with you tonight:

  A fresh new article from the press about WayDroid has been released yesterday.

  Indeed, Linuxsmartphones.com echoes this project in an article published yesterday:

  https://linuxsmartphones.com/waydroid-lets-you-run-android-apps-on-linux-phones-with-smoother-performance-than-anbox/

  We are delighted to see that this event has gone beyond the small circle of our community, and is starting generating some interest from independent media.

  At the same time, a lot of work is currently underway on the server.

  Please continue to support the development of WayDroid by supporting our campaign:

  See you soon for news and updates!

  Rudi and Steve

  @unisuperbox There is the "merge events" filter on https://gitlab.com/groups/ubports/-/activity though.

  Granted it's not exact for what one might have gotten on their device, and you can't limit it to last 24 hours. But its's as reasonable a rough overview of changes as the aforementioned GitHub search query, I think.

  @irnbru I wouldn't give up hope. Other ports started off in worse shape and are now stable. I suspect the same will be true for the 3a. Just needs a little tinkering to figure out what's going on.

  @keneda More likely I did not try hard enough when I first got the phone so I gave up as it was unimportant. The update prompted me to look again, and though not intuitive I have created a few albums for the 18 photos I keep on it.

  @s710 said in Help needed to port qzxing to UT:

  This approach is what I wanted to avoid, but probably, it would be the most feasible solution right now, and I might go that route. Thanks for the hint!

  Yes. There are some devices which have issues using the VideoFilter method, so I had to do the manual sampling that way instead.

  Looking at the issue you opened, it might be the same problem as I ran into which forced me to using the manual sampling. The issue is actually in the qtubuntu-camera QPA which we provide so that QtCamera API can use the camera hardware via Android HAL.

  @erlend I've had a first look, and three of those test doubles are unused in the current codebase. There's a PR dropping them for your review.

  The others are used in a range of tests I've yet to work through.

  Hello guys!

  I want to help translate UBports Docs with Weblate, but there are different work statuses. An example:

  https://docs.ubports.com/de/latest/userguide/advanceduse/dav.html, 3rd paragraph:
  At the moment, the Ubuntu Touch graphical user-interface lacks a CardDAV implementation, but you can do it by using SyncEvolution + cron. There is a script you can run in the terminal, or via a phablet SSH connection. These instructions work for CalDAV as well.

  https://translate.ubports.com/translate/ubports-docs/documentation-userguide/de/?checksum=524f7589b8a5a4b (../../userguide/advanceduse/dav.rst:8), english:
  At the moment, there is no carddav implementation directly accessible from the Ubuntu Touch graphical user-interface, so the only way to sync carddav is by using syncevolution + cron. However, there is a simple way to do that with a script that you can run in the terminal or via phablet SSH connection. These instructions work for caldav as well.

  In addition, the text has already been translated, but the translation is not displayed. This is the case in many chapters, but not in all.

  Is there a solution to this problem?

  Regards, Martin
