[Call for] Nominations for the UBports Community Awards

RJDan

Nominations are now open for the UBports Community Awards.
Since this is the first run at having these awards, I thought
its best to keep things a bit simple.
Here are the final two categories:

Community favourite app
Community favourite developer

Everyone can suggest up to two nominees for each category.
Nominations close on the evening of 1 Dec.
Leave your suggestions below.

For each nomination, indicate the category, nominee and a short paragraph about why you are nominating this person/app.

Prize: A large pizza for each category.

@RJDan Hello, I would like to nominate as Community favourite developer 2025:

@fredldotme (Alfred E. Neumayer) https://gitlab.com/fredldotme https://fredl.me/
because of his technical explanations and his constant work on different parts of the OS (Last things I saw him post about where kernel updates, encryption and docker).

@lduboeuf (Lionel Duboeuf) https://gitlab.com/lduboeuf https://www.youtube.com/@totodesbois100
because I often see his activities on Gitlab and he seems like a helpful person to me.

If I could nominate more than two people I would also like to mention
@peat_psuwit, because of his involvement with the move to 24.04,
@pparent, because of his work on a Signal App and communication with the community during the process and
@k.nacke, because it looked like he joined this year and immediately started successfully porting a device.

As Community favourite app 2025 I would like to nominate two efforts to bring better web browsers to UT:

uWolf https://open-store.io/app/uwolf.chromiumos-guy by @ChromiumOS-Guy
because it is nice to have a newer browser, but it is also nice to see that it was possible to bring a big classic GTK desktop app to UT.

Morph QT6 https://open-store.io/app/mariogrip.morph.browser-qt6 by @mariogrip
because development on Morph is really appreciated.

I could help make some graphics for the "UBports Community Awards" and help make a good looking web page, so the winners and nominees could later link to something, when they apply for a job or just want to "flex on their friends".

futify - Despite all the hate, I love it
dekko - same as above

List of Human Beings:

I could list all the hard workers where one of them will definitely win (Marius, Alfred, Ratchanan, Sunweaver, Jami, NotKit, Danfro, Capsia,..)
but I will be biased and mention those who personally wasted a lot of time with me on chat (unfortunately I will leave out people like all wilfridd, x.Dub, jmlich,..)

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

Vlad Nirki - for the time spent debugging at the beginning of the year, to make VoLTE work on miatoll
