          πŸ™‚ @aury88 @cesar-herrera @jonius - Oddly enough, I've begun to think of the sales of Purism's Librem 5 developer's SBC as a sort of self-build educational phone. Though perhaps I've not understood it's scope well enough.

                  @jonius I don't know whether they still are, but Purism was offering a "Developer kit" which included the mainboard, a screen and a power supply: https://puri.sm/shop/librem-5/

                    @3arn0wl Yes they are, but the pre-order phase is over now I think (end of May or so). So for the first batch it will be too late... πŸ˜‰

                      @flohack I don't know what the connectors for the screen will be like, but I think it would be nifty to attach a 10" e-ink to it, put it in a box (with a big-ass battery) and use it as a "textercise" book.

                        yes it is! but I think that RaspberryPi still remain the main reference board among the developers (already well documented, well tested and with many ports with associated documentation/howto). so porting UbPorts on this board could allow the arrival of many developers that already use the raspberry in their projects...also the UT port on Librem5 board (phone and/or kit, they are the same) is already covered with the Ubports-Purism agreements.
