As an answer to a my ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything, Deep Thought suggested me to reach 42 stickers:

@prog-amateur I gave you the -1 "like" not because of your question, but because your imply, without knowing its purpose, that it "allows redirections to Canonical servers" coming to suspect a GDPR incompatibility and ending by asking what else (not if else)" is sent as a telemetry from OS/app to whatever company/organization". All after the initial sentence, resuming or reminding the Ubports sentence in the website about the care about freedom of choice and privacy, as it were a lie, and asking "clear answers" assuming the ubports foundation has ever in some way given unclear or ambiguous answers or/to hide the truth behind them or has reason to do so..

so that -1 is for the chosen style and the tone of the question that I personally perceive and didn't like, not for the question. about your question, because it is a good question, this was my answer: https://github.com/ubports/morph-browser/pull/250

ps: I'm not in any way endorsed by or affiliated with ubports and what I say may not be what ubports thinks

IMHO it's fundamental that the icon resemble the original one obviously avoiding any trademark infringing. I think we can use the original "3D-ish" icon as a base and colors (so to keeping similarity with the official one and make it discernable from the Unav one) and apply on it some of the UT official graphic guideline/style so to avoid trademark infringing.
for example something like:

and

they both are in origami style. in the first the geometry and the style of the paper airplane is different from the original/official logo (it'is another paper airplane ;)). the second is more similar in terms of geometry but the teleport effect make it whole new icon.

Hi guys,
as a way to spread UT/UBports I think could be also useful to make more famous our logos/mascot to the world.
One of our main communication channel is based on telegram that is the perfect platform for some of our marketing purpose for various reasons:

• it is used on smartphonens

• it is supported on UT (thank you guys!)

• it is used by people prone to try something different even if it is (still) less used than whatsapp

• it has stickers

I started to make a little collection of yumi images based on this guideline and using telegram guidelines
Our current sticker pack has "only" 13 images so I tried to expand it (actually I've 35) and substitute some of them with new one, :
eg

vs

A more completed pack is more probable being used in our and other telegram channels spreading the world Yumi mascot and UBports logo.

So now I've some questions for the UBports Foundation:

• Could this be useful for you?
• Am I infringing your trademark
  • do I need an official approval?
    • do I need only an official approval for the whole stickers pack or
    • do I need an official approval for each sticker?
• do exist already a sticker project/place where I can contribute?
  thank you!

because this is a more stable configuration than a circle
Jokes aside, when I made this symbol I was thinking of the third generation of Ubuntu DE (after gnome and unity7, our beloved unity8) and

• to the three elements of the project:
  • the foundation,
  • the community,
  • all the mainstream projects,
• and to the three levels of the system:
  • the device,
  • the OS,
  • the applications,
• or
  • the hardware,
  • the software ,
  • the user.

new two stickers are coming:

this is for the next UT code cleaning

and this is for the next features requests

@Flohack I don't have to motivate the people.

I don't think you can look in his eyes and say to him "no"

@UBportsNews I have already contributed here and there but have done only little things. I'm studyng how to develop on UT but I'm only an hobbyist so I'm not a so good investment...
But, I found that there are at least two other italian UT users near me (less than 30km, and they are very active in the Italian UBports telegram group) and I'm already thinking of share with them my rpi4 to help each other in the develop and test process. Also in Mezzago (a town 7km from my home) there is a little but lively linux community that could be interested in the UT and its app development.
Last but not the least I directly know and I'm friend with many guys from informatics engineering (from the university Politecnico di Milano) with which I collaborate in the Openstreetmap project and wikimedia foundation and that could be interested in software development on more exotic platform like UT

what about the canonical plan about "ubuntu personal" (snappy-ubuntu-core+mir+unity8)? is it still a thing?

is there any plan about porting ubuntu touch on lowcost arm boards (eg. like raspberry Pi3) so the developers could test their apps and the system without having to buy a compatible smartphone?

[OT] is there any plan to bring an Ultrafast or Hyperfast Broadband connection to the Marius G.'s home? his lags in the UT Q&A videos are one of the moments that I look forward to

About the GSI-esque image in the GizmoChicken question:
Q1: is it a change in the halium side or in the UT side? ( I have seen contradictory news on various local sites about this)
Q2: I guess this will allow for faster ports on Treble compliant device, but will it also allow for improvements on the performance side?

about UT on rpi4

Q3 - Q4: are there any news about the tiling problem (the graphic problem afflicting rpi4)? why rpi4 is the only affected arm board?

ps: happy summer holidays for those who will do them!!

lomiri in ubuntu unity remix is considered the long-term plan to replace old packages and technologies that will probably no longer be supported in the future (xorg, compiz etc) and maintain an unity7 like UX. To do so that project will have to introduce features not currently avaible in lomiri, since, in order for the transition to take place, they first want to achieve a features parity.
I ask you the question since you are the ones with the most knowledge of the code: how difficult is it to add features such as global menu, progress bars / notification bubble in launchbar etc.?

Hoping that all the changes converge on the same code, how will you avoid that those useful functions in the desk environment but uncomfortable in a smartphone or vice versa ruining the UX on the devices for which those features are not designed?

last but not least, what skills and knowledge does it take to modify lomiri?

Do you know anything about Astro Slide project from Planets Computers?
what do you think? are you already in contact with them?

I know that questions on porting to device **** are not allowed, so I will try to keep it as general as possible :

Q1: What is happening with the app displaying in the RaspberryPi 4 ? what do you think is the problem with that specific board that does not affect any other ARM64 board/device?
Q2: what new technologies you think would help in solve the above (Q1) problem ( maybe the new Mir 1.6 release and its initial rpi-dispmanx support?) and what improvement/problem could them introduce on other boards/device?

I don't know if this will be the last Q&A in 2019, eventually keep this in the freezer for the last Q&A:
Q3: what do you (realistically) wish for the project in the 2020 and what are you going to focus on?

ps: if this is the last 2019 Q&A wishes for a merry christmas

@Aury88 ok. build completed and app launched correctly on desk. Thank you again

@CiberSheep Yeah! after logout/in it seems to work!
after the clickable desktop it started to pull from clickable/ubuntu-sdk the clickable/ubuntu-sdk:16.04-amd64 image.

Maybe this logout/in passage is worth a mention on the doc.

Thank you all guys!
I will let you know if it works

Hi guys. I'm starting to feel more confident about cpp and qml so I wanted to try build one of the app templates.
I followed this installation guide
https://gitlab.com/clickable/clickable/blob/master/README.md
, installed clickable trough pip on ubuntu 16.04 and tried to build various app template, but I obtain always the same error message.

Command exited with non-zero exit status 1, see above for details. This is most likely not a problem with Clickable

HERE the pastebin of all the command sent after the installation
can someone explain what is wrong?
is it due to the fact that I have no a UT device connected?

that, associated with mycroft voice recognition, would be a must have app on my smartphone

so maybe there will be some good news anyway and however it goes
