        Okay well then 😉

        Hi, I am Flohack, I am currently assigned in the infrastrcture team of UBports (whatever that will mean, lets see). Basically I will help running servers and services that we need for development and running ops. I am 42 years old (probably the oldest of all haha) and I am working as a senior software developer in the metals industry in Austria.

        I ran across Ubuntu Touch somewhere in last April or so, pretty much a year ago, and as I did not own any smartphone before, I was happy to be able to use one which is special. Too special to use it without thinking, but I got used to it.

        I own a BQ E5 as daily driver. I also own now: An N5 (backup device last summer, when the E5 had a broken digitizer after some heavy rain on the motorcyle :)), an HTC One X (tried porting on this) and a Samsung S3 (currently trying to port on it :))

            Hello, everyone !

            I am a C dev and Linux/Ubuntu enthusiast.
            I own a Meizu pro 5, which I use as my primary phone. It seems like you guys are planning on keeping supporting it in non-legacy mode, and I'd like to help with that. I can of course do QA as well for that phone.
            I'm still a bit unclear on how to join, as I'd really like to avoid using telegram, but I've created a trello account in the meantime: https://trello.com/iorekbyrnison1

                  Hi Guys, I'm a graphic designer. I believe in convergence and the value that has ubuntu touch brought to the open source community. I would love to be part of the community that continues it even without the support of Canonical. Not much of a developer but I can do UX and UI design requirements. Thanks, Raf

                        Hi folks,

                        I'm Mike Sheldon, I've spent the past three years working on the phone full time at Canonical, mostly working on the on-screen keyboard and the download manager, but also doing odd bits and pieces on content-hub and the web browser. In my spare time I also created a bunch of my own apps for the phone including Podbird and CuteSpotify and also ported a few things like ScummVM.

                        I'm not entirely sure what my free time's going to look like in the near future, but I'm happy to help out where I can 🙂

                          Hello,

                          I'm Piotr Mitana, I'm 25 and I live in Poland. I use Ubuntu desktop since I think 7.10 or 8.04. About 9 months ago I've bought Meizu Pro 5 Ubuntu Edition and it is my daily driver since then.

                          I am a software developer, using mosty Javascript and Java in my current job, but have done some Scala, D, a little C++/Qt 4 and a bit of QML. I'm not sure if I will have enough time to help in OS' or core apps' development, but I will definitely throw in some testing, my feedback and ideas to discuss. And maybe someday I'll manage to start helping with the code as well.

                          I am also currently planning to create my first application for phones and convergence.

                            Hi guys

                            I am Miguel Menéndez (mimecar) and I have worked with Ubuntu Touch since its launch. I work among other things as a Java programmer and in my spare time I am writing an Ubuntu Touch programming course. I started in August last year in Spanish and I am translating it into English right now.

                            For the course chapters I have already written (webapps and QML) I see that it is simple to program for Ubuntu Touch. The problem is to have a bit of basic. QML is not complicated and you can program applications quite quickly.

                            I hope I can help continue Ubuntu Touch and maintain the incredible community behind.

                            A greeting.

                              Hello,

                              I'm Thatoo, almost 30, I have a french passport living/travelling between France and other places (Iran lately).
                              I have been testing Firefox OS and Ubuntu Touch since I've got my Nexus 5. Cyanogenmod 13 is in primary ROM but I use FFOS for daily usage (I've made the persian keayboard of FFOS). I have been testing ubuntu touch regularly (I won't say for every update but many).

                              I have been waiting for convergence since I heard of it. It would be really sad if it doesn't come up to life.
                              I'll keep testing it till I feel I can use it daily.

                              Best regards,

                              Nexus 5

                                    I'm Joan, a little cloned android recreated from an alternative diment... ehem, ehem... I'm the one publishing all those Interactive Fiction into the store.
                                    I love my main phone: bq E5 and my main tablet: bq m10.
                                    I have been helping translating and testing some apps. I'm here to give some support if I can.

                                    Peace!

                                      Hi,

                                      my name is Taavi (@salarelv) and from Estonia. I am a frontend developer doing mostly JavaScript at my workplace. I have also done some small QML (+Qt) apps and want to work on the core apps if possible.
                                      Have Nexus 4 running UT. And a Jolla 1 as a daily driver. I hope we someday we can run the core apps on almost every platform.

                                          the name is Peter Valachovič I am IT teacher from Slovakia, some years ago after finishing FIIT in Bratislava I've decided that I want to work on making world a better place, so I quit ERP systems maintaining and development and I teach on high school and help kids with studies in free time.

                                          My phone of everyday use is Ubuntu BQ 5 HD, I was thinking about translations to Slovak even earlier, although I haven´t started yet. I´ll gladly help with testing apps and if I´ll have time (which is not really often) I can help with some apps development too

                                            I own an Aquarius E5 HD, bought it for simple calling, reading and writing text with nano and coding with python.
                                            Calling a friend without a intermission from some android-app.
                                            To have a little more controll about that, what the apps are doing. ( Its a lot of "KISS -Keep it Simple and Stupid" that i like on the "UbuntuPhone")
                                            I like your "we make it go" spirit and wish you the best for the future. (Dont lose hope, the interesting part is now starting 😉

                                              Hi all,

                                              I am Sai, a 24 year developer from India who has previously contributed to gnome-music. Although I am a fan of music players, gnome shell as a desktop environment is not my favorite. When I heard the news of canonical scrapping I was taken aback and want to contribute to the development of yunit and ubports in any way I can.
                                              I was wondering if someone can help me get my dev environment set up. I am currently using arch linux with gnome shell on a lenovo thinkpad.

                                              Best
