UBports Community Update 19 | December 23, 2017

[UniSuperBox]

It's been a long road, but it's time to wrap up the 2017 year... with a UBports Community Update!

The next community update will be on December 23, 2017 at 1900 UTC. You can set a reminder and watch live at the Youtube event page. This time we'll be talking about our most important news in months, then take a bit of a trip through our year in review.

If you have any questions that you'd like to round out 2017 with, this is the thread to ask them in!

Cheers for the advance of the project, the push notification server has been a very important milestone.

Question:

Three mailing lists were created at:

https://list.ubports.com/mailman/listinfo

I tried to subscribe but never got the confirmation email back. When are they going to be enabled?

[Flohack]

@wgarcia This is strange, I did the same and confirmations arrived. In fact, there are already multiple subscribers on them.

PM me your email address and I might be able to activate you manually

[wgarcia]

@flohack Thanks, I will send my email address to you by PM in Telegram. Maybe I subscribed too early and got blocked.

hi,
I've heard that OTA 3 is the last update for 15.04 and now community will focus on 16.04 . What about legacy devices ( i own a BQ 4.5 ), any chance to follow main stream development ?
I've heard on Telegram that keeping upstart for 16.04 will give us a chance for BQ devices to migrate. If you can say a bit more about this, i don't understand why systemd was a 'no-go' for legacy devices.

It would be great to produce an annual report for 2017 with an activity overview of UBports project: softwares releases, participation in events, financial figures,...
Is it planned ?

[andybleaden]

Yes it would. Can you offer to help with getting this sorted?

[Marathon2422]

@marathon2422 Amazing I am even able to use my pro 5 here in AR. To some extent

Yes, with pleasure

First of all. Thank you devs for all of your great work. Second, I just would like to know if there is any plans in fixing the "no sound" thingy when using the HDMI slimport in the nexus 5, because I use to connect a lot my N5 to my tv to use as a desktop with my bt m/kb + bluetooth speaker. But anyways, I am missing just the audio to be the perfect kind of "convergence" thing. https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/344

Thank you so much, have a great holidays!

I am happy to hear that all legacy will get xenial too. Big thank you to all of you. Great work...
