@kugiigi That is nice to hear! It's a success story then! Yeah, I think if there is willingness to pay for new features and accelerated development, and I do think there is willingness here, then financial incentives can motivate all parties to more engagement. Users don't feel that lost and powerless regarding the evolution of their favorite mobile OS, and freelance developers can pick and choose from interesting and paid jobs. It seems to me a win-win!

@jujubala1997 said in Help the community: Where do I start? What are barriers that impede UT from spreading? What should I learn in software to help the community? Depends your area of interest and confort : community, system, porting, coding, Art etc... and you don't even need to be good or educated in that field, like me just learning by tweaking. Python wise they are several possibilities : full applications : https://github.com/ernesst/ActivityTracker Wrapper : https://framagit.org/ernesst/MLS-for-Utouch / https://framagit.org/ernesst/gps-utouch-tracker Python get integrated into QML via : https://github.com/thp/pyotherside A very nice python lib would be great to integrate into Utouch : https://github.com/owncloud/pyocclient for Nextcloud/Owncloud. Welcome in the community.

@Futura said in Welcome to the UBports community! Introduce yourself here!: Greetings from Florida, USA, I have installed Ubuntu Touch a couple of times already and I have to say its a lot more stable this time. As soon as I can find a phone this works on to make calls with Volte I will be daily driving it and dumping Android for good. Unfortunately I don't have any coding experience to contribute, but I do work in IT as a tech and have a few decades of troubleshooting and I want to help out. I am very much over Android/IOS at this point, and feel the time is right for a Linux phone to really shake things up given the current state of mobile OS. Plenty of experience with Ubuntu desktop having daily'ed it from Warty Warthog to Yakkety Yak, and I am still on Linux desktop, just another distro btw... Greetings, Futura, and welcome to the UBports community!
