We'll see you when we're live!

Bonjour,
J'ai la tablette M10 sous Ubports qui fonctionne à merveille le seul souci c'est qu'elle a un petit stockage 16go. Pensez-vous que Ubports peut fusionner la micro SD avec le stockage interne de la M10?
J'ai le téléphone Asus Phone3 qui me propose de les fusionner.Je pense que se doit être possible.
Est-il possible aussi de répondre par écrit pour vos réponses (ou faire un récapitulatif des travaux envisagé) car je ne parle pas courament l'anglais et j'utilise Google Translate pour communiquer avec la communauté Ubports.

En vous remerciant pour tous.
Laurent (France)

Hello,
I have the M10 tablet under Ubports that works wonders the only problem is that it has a small storage 16go. Do you think Ubports can merge the micro SD with the internal storage of the M10?
I have the phone Asus Phone3 that offers me to merge.I think it should be possible.
Is it possible also to answer in writing for your answers (or to make a summary of the envisaged works) because I do not speak fluently English and I use Google Translate to communicate with the Ubports community.

Thanking you for all.
Laurent (France)

Can you confirm that UBports Liberapay account is valid?
Donors can be suspicious...

Can you promote UBports Liberapay account on all different websites so that it is possible to relay the information in a credible way?

1. Are there plans to make a pre-built kit for Qt 5.9.x for Ubuntu Touch?
2. What do you guys think of moving the applications action bar from top to bottom, or at least having a setting?
   In my opinion this would improve navigations because you would have the options at the tips of your thumbs. Android and Windows solved this with their back buttons(don't know about IOS), but UT requires you to move your hand to the top of the device.
   As an example, I find it mildly annoying that for toggling between calls history and dialer requires me to move my hand up and down on the phone while on my Android phone all I need to move my left thumb....what can I say....I like comfort :P.

PS: If I think of any more I will edit this :).

1. Sorry if this is a replicate from before: Do you plan to target Yunit for Xenial or Unity8
2. I tried building some UT apps on desktop (Ubuntu 16.04.3 server + Yunit repos + Stable Phone Overlay PPA) and wanted to report how this goes and what works since i thought UBports is targeting Yunit... Is this an attempt that can help this project or is this nonsense that i am doing?
3. Is there a decision for future package management or in other words; would it make sense to start a Click2Snap or Click2Whatever group? (I would be interested to work in/with such group even though i have hardly any coding skills)

Thanks for your hard work and best regards,
Erik

Can you tell us the status of the coming notification service?
Marius talked in the last community update about this. Will this service be ready until Canonical shutdown his service?

La réponse est : non, cette fonctionalité n'est pas disponible avec UT. Beaucoup de travail serait probablement nécessaire pour un résultat incertain compte tenu des versions anciennes de kernel utilisées dans les versions d'android sous-jacentes à UT.

The answer is: no, this feature is not available with UT. A lot of work would probably be needed for an uncertain result given the old kernel versions used in android versions underlying UT .
