          @commisde Great to see the community working to help each other but this is not the correct place. If you could keep all phone for sale etc. discussions to the Off Topic section of the Forum and all price discussions to PM that would be great. Thanks.

            Hi all, I'm Ron, I live in the boonies of NW Tennessee (and that's by choice). I'm a retired LEO. I like many was a Windows user, then switched to the MacOS, but now I trying to go all Linux OS based. I currently use the latest version of Ubuntu on my ThinkPad and recently received my Pinephone 64. I hope one day to have it as my daily driver, but until some of the things are worked out I'm using my iPhone X.

                @NeoTheThird , @Kaizen (new website design)

                On a positive critical note, I can't help but noticing that everyone introducing him/her self gets a friendly reply including the URL to 'meet the community'.

                May I suggest we have a pinned post on the forum main page dedicated to new forum members' options to contribute to the community efforts?

                After reading the pinned posts they should no longer appear as long as the user is logged in/password stored (unless signed in again)

                Perhaps Jan (as OP @NeoTheThird) could amend his first post on this thread too?

                  @Lt-Dillinger Welcome, Ron. 🤝 🙂

                  How can you trust that an app really won't send some company your location data, when you tell it not to? The only way you can trust a program not to do something it isn't supposed to do is if it is free software. ~ RMS

                        Hi there. My name is Bob from the Netherlands.
                        I bought a oneplus one last week and jumped on the train again. I had on my nexus 7 ubuntu touch before. But i was thinking lets check out the state of this great project again. Battery performance is much better than before!! Super nice.
                        Im a designer, wordpress specialist, and a pretty decent photographer.

                        I hope to be in use somehow. But as a non programmer i'm limited in developing in the mobile os.

                          Hi and welcome @Ghostdog

                          Here you can find some useful info about how to get involved: https://ubports.com/meet-the-community
                          And it was repeated during the last Q&A, you can also help by testing, reporting bugs, confirming them or doing triage.
                          So if you're interested in helping this way you can try and contact Dalton through his many contacts.
                          Check out the video of the last Q&A to get the original request 😉 (around 18'40")
                          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-NIgbHgSRc and soon in the blog.

                                          Hello From Ben the Irishman

                                          Hi! I'm Ben.

                                          I'm a longtime Linux user and free software advocate. I self-host my own Nextcloud instance and I'm a decentralised software advocate. I think we're on the brink of a new dawn in free-software-powered, privacy-focused phone operating systems.

                                          I'm running a Fairphone with /e/ OS. I chose it over UBports for its strong Nextcloud support. I have a OnePlus One running UBports but it's not my daily driver. I want to see UBports succeed.

                                          I'm volunteering to contribute to the project in whatever way I can. I heard Dalton putting out the call for writers on Ubuntu Touch Q&A 81 so I pinged @Kaizen on Telegram. He's full of ideas for how we can improve the message and branding of the project, so I'm jumping onto his project to help out.

                                          English is my first language. I have excellent writing skills, especially in the use of correct spelling, punctuation and grammar. I live in Ireland, so the English I speak and write is closer to British English than American English, but I can adopt either style (and vocabulary).

                                          I'm a technical software tester by trade, so in my day job I work at the interface between business and technology people. I've learned how to communicate comfortably with both groups, and how to translate desires and concepts from one domain to the other. I have a strong knowledge of software engineering fundamentals, a passion for the history of the field of computing and I take delight in communicating the power and flexibility of free software to anyone who'll listen!

                                          Cheers
                                          Ben
