        @Nulla Welcome on board!

        Accessibility-wise we still have a very long way to go, I am afraid. But I understand there are some community efforts in that area.

          @arubislander am keen to find out who has done what. Will keep checking over the forums and see where I can contributor as a non-coder.

            Morning Everyone,

            I'm Sam, and I'm a long time Linux user. I first installed SuSE on my desktop back in the 90s when I was working as Unix/C developer, writing industrial programs for AIX and HPUX. I turned to Microsoft in the early 2000's but I've been back on Ubuntu since about 2010 I think. I've recently reinstalled Windows 10 in a partition, but only because of the promise of Flight Sim 2020.

            I started to specialise in mobile platforms in 2001, and I'm always interested in keeping a very varied choice of ecosystems in mobile platforms. I bought the Aquaris E4.5 and M10 HD tablets when they launched, and I use them weekly (if not daily).

            I work as Head of Innovation Development for a (very) large and (very) famous FinTech company, and I'm always building things. I spent a lot of time with my soldering irons and 3d printers as well as my computers, and you can often find me at Cambridge Makespace (makespace.org)

              πŸ˜„ Perhaps we could organize a mini-meet in the Baron of Beef (the pub where Chris Curry and Clive Sinclair had their famous ding-dong)?

                Ha yes, I pointed it out to my son last weekend. We'd watched Micro Men previously so he knew who they were πŸ˜‰

                  @DansLeRuSH Hi Frank, I know what you mean about being pissed off. I was very cross at the time, but I guess I understand that whole of the rest of the Ubuntu product line was being held up by UT and they needed to move on.
                  uNav is great for Japan mapping data, much better than Google. I remember I took Maps.me with me last time, but I'll take uNav next time.

                          Hello, I'm Jerry. Don't have technical knowledge, just trying to use technology. Most of all leave the interference of the big companies. I have been using Ubuntu 18.04 for a few months and now will use touch when my Nexus 5 arrives. It feels so good to be free.

                                  Hello World !

                                  I'm "incyi", emb. software developer for around 8 years now. Mainly write in C for cortex-m microcontrollers.

                                  Looking forward to work on some open-source projects. I just pre-ordered the PinePhone UBports edition.

                                        Hello all together,
                                        I'm on Linux since the end of '90's. I'm not a programmer or software coder. I'm building websites and manage some web and mailserver's. Sometimes I make graphics if I need them for apps or websites or Linux TV receivers.
                                        I'm using iOS since 2008 as my mobile OS. I never used android devices for personally/daily usage but I've a testing devices with lineage. I was always looking for Linux Projects on Smartphones and followed the development.
                                        Now I cant wait no more and decided to get a device. After all BH versions of pinephone was gone, last week was a good one with new UBports version and I orders one of them.
                                        To get some "practice" I got an old Nexus5. Last Day's I'm trying to get familiar withe the file system structure and looking for the theming possibilities. By the way I tested some Anbox and Libertine options

                                        So, thx for your work. Have a nice time

I am not a developer, but a dreamer, perhaps a seer and just excited to be part of a community that has brought such a technology to market.
