      Dear all,

      Does UT fundation has some stats about UT users (something comparable to what Linux Ubuntu did (https://ubuntu.com/desktop/statistics) : how many users and the distribution across the world, what langage do they use, what setup/cell phone do users have… ? From a marketing point of view that is relevant to know that kind of things.

      Speaking of marketing, do you recommend a way of doing things when asking Android developers/organizations/internet players to adapt their App to OpenStore? How to hit the target ?
      I was wondering if remind people about some stats could helps...

      Thanks

        what do you think about Waydroid (aka Anbox-halium). what are the differences with anbox used on UT?
        can Waydroid be in future an acceptable solution on UT as well as Anbox?

        Waydroid has appeared in many articles in specialist newspapers around the world. Has this sudden increased visibility of this project already led to contributors also not linked to UT?

        thanks @Xray2000 for the answer!I had missed that information 😉

          @aury88 The old Anbox would not be developed anymore, WayDroid runs into a LXC-Container and is a lot faster and smooth, this would become the new one indeed.

            Some months ago there was some talk about modernizing the push infrastructure and maybe adding webpush functionality to Morph (cool would be also PWA support by the way).

            Have there been some further developments on this?

              Qt is an absolutely integral part of Ubuntu Touch. It is also proprietary, non-free (in both ways) software.

              Is is not true. qt has been fully open-source for years. Its development model is not very open, but the software itself is.

                Would you consider hosting the Q&A on FunkWhale? You've already done a lot to help support the FediVerse ecosystem with PixelFed and Mastodon accounts, so I figured FunkWhale would be a good fit too for the purposes you're currently relying on SoundCloud for.

                Is the video Q&A also available on Peertube? Peertube also supports live-streaming by the way (another nice option is Owncast).

                  Question:
                  Had you ever tried to offer to key people in the software world, a working phone with Ubuntu Touch (or showed a phone in a meeting/conference/party/second breakfasts), so they may notice this project?

                  Let's say like Spotify CEO, the Netflix gang, so we the people download chapters in the tablets with UT. A Bank or Important company to let us create or have native apps?

                  In less words, what do you think we are missing in order to have permission from those big companies to build or they can build us apps for our beloved platform?

                  P.S. Does Marius will eat the sock he promised or he has a working Desktop Version of Ubuntu Touch(when is the due date)?

                    Get us excited about Focal! You mentioned that there won't be any noticeable changes in the user-facing side of the system once the migration hits. What will the 20.04 core allow the dev team to do, what should we expect to start seeing more of once we're on the new LTS?

                    One of the thing is that it will be easier to develop core components using modern C++ (C++17 and C++20).

                      @thousandtopics as it is already working on the Pi 3 (not working perfectly of course) he should manage to avoid eating a sock this time around. 🙂
