        Greetings UBports community! My name is Camden and I'm an avid mobile Linux fan. I have helped port a device and am currently porting a device to Sailfish.

        I have a collection of phones which include a Samsung Galaxy: SII, S5(x2), Note 9, and A52s. Along with a OnePlus 6, Google Pixel XL, Nexus 5x and PinePhone.

        I love Ubuntu Touch and have had an interest for many years, I got my first proper Ubuntu Touch-compatible phone in 2021. This was the PinePhone UBports edition, and later the OnePlus 6 which I have tried to daily drive a couple of times.

              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.

                  Just joined after watching some of the live streams from the UBPorts team on YouTube. Installed UBPorts on my Pinetab and loving it so far!

                      Just been given a Nexus 5 with UT preinstalled. I love it so far. Looks very simple to write apps for. I have a pwa i'd like to port to UT, so I'll be setting to work on that. I have Mint on my laptop. Also have access to a Oneplus to test out focal packages.

                            I switched to UT in mid-2019 and have been very pleased with it. 🙂

                                      Hi all, I got involved with UT from about a month and I love the project. I am electronics engineer and I am interested in helping as much as I can with development of UT , because I support the projects idea and vision.

                                      I am currently maintaining focal port for miatoll devices, but I wish to get more into system development and plan to do another port too.

                                      Thank you all who are working and supporting UT and making it real.
