[Call for] Nominations for the UBports Community Awards

[stanwood]

@RJDan Yes, Indeed!
And let's not forget those developers who work behind the scenes every day for Ubuntu Touch, notably TheKit, Marius, Mike Gabriel and Maciek, in addition to those mentioned above.

I would also like to mention Moem for her energy and enthusiasm in flying the flag for UBports at every Open Source event in the Netherlands and beyond. App-Lee, who hosts most of the Q&As and has been instrumental in establishing partnerships with our friends at Volla and Brax (right?)

Also all the members of the foundation's board of trustees, without whom UBports would not exist.
And so many others that I am forgetting or simply do not know, whether they are application developers or part of the porting team...

Hats off to you all!

@stanwood lets buy one huge pizza to them all!!!!

I'm nominating Podcat and RockWork! These two apps contribute hugely to my enjoyment of UT.

Which means of course that I nominate the devs Joan CiberSheep for their wonderful work on bringing the fun back to podcasts in UT, and Muhammad for his tireless and creative ways of bringing Pebble compatibility to UT. And for all of his bluetooth magic!

[danfro]

For developers:

1. Ratchanan, because so much code for the OS wouldn't exist without him
2. Lionel for his work on calendar app, dialer and messages

For apps:

1. Teleports, what would we do without it?
2. OpenStore, again we would be nothing witout it

This idea has some flaws: there are many good devs and their apps, with these restrictions probably some of them would be undeservedly not mentioned here, and some, despite putting a lot of work in this project, may be not nominated because we don't usually see them where we see other devs.

I would like to nominate the following apps:

• Waydroid because we all know why
• LogViewer since it makes debugging much less painful

Developers, who absolutely deserve mentioning here:

• Danfro
• fredldotme

@idonthatevests
Of course it would be great to give awards to everyone but thats not feasible ... so lets give to someone. There is always next year too.

[johndoe]

@RJDan Just to be clear, because so many people nominate developers, that were already nominated. This here is for nominating and not for voting?

[RJDan]

@johndoe
Yes, nominations. Voting happens later.

[johndoe]

@uxes said in [Call for] Nominations for the UBports Community Awards:

lduboeuf - for all the time he spent with me debugging bugs in the SMS and Calendar apps

Maybe you would like to nominate one of the other developers (that is not already nominated) you mentioned, because lduboeuf was already nominated.

[danfro]

Because Lionel has already been nominated, and I now understand that its not voting, but nominating ;-), instead of Lionel I nominate Jonathan Zeidler for providing OSMscout server and PureMaps.

[RJDan]

@stanwood
Everyone does deserve recognition for all their efforts!

It is a bit unclear which of the many people you mentioned would be your nominations? To keep things fair and manageable I think it is best to keep it to two nominations per person. So you should select two people for me to include in the list.

[CiberSheep]

Ouh! I didn't vote yet?

• developers:

  • Brian Douglass, for keeping the Open Store up and running for ten nearly 10 years (8 and a half? 9?)
  • Marius Gripsgård well. You know why

• apps:

  • TELEports, without this app, I wouldn't work my way around
  • uNav, the light navigation app, with translated voices, that has been working for the last 9 years?
