@poVoq said in compatibility layer between UT and other OSes: Last but not least Open-Store could be expanded to other system, as currently there isn't really a Playstore like 3rd party app distribution model on those. At least for Plasma Mobile it should be easy to get the open-store app running. this sounds like an interesting idea. and maybe this wouldn't be too hard. the open-store is basically a service where packaged apps are distributed. Developers can create an account, upload an app, specify which OS it's for (15.04, 16.04, armhf, arm64), describe it, do changelog and updates and get some installation stats. I think it also has a rating system for users since a little while. Mobile OS' can inquire the list of apps compatible with itself are in the store and updates for installed apps and download and install stuff. I don't even think that too much of this infrastructure is UT or click specific. Some pieces are of course, like the app submission to the store does a click review and for apps in the store it shows some apparmor click permissions, etc. Also the graphical design on the open-store website is UT specific. But it feels like this is the sugar on top of the machine that makes open-store. Maybe it wouldn't be too hard to add another OS like plasma mobile to the list and then someone has to teach plasma to get app packages from there. Whatever format pm uses ... debs? or flatpak? If Open-Store learns flatpak that way, this might also be a nice option for UT at some point in the future. Then you have One store where mobile linux app developers mingle with their apps. Initially it would be separate camps who only develop their apps for this OS or that OS, but it gives the devs exposure to each other. Some apps have already been ported to multiple OS' .... some navigation app ... the name escapes me. If the devs then are all mingling in the same pond, they might learn tricks about porting from one OS to another. It would still bring a multiplication of work and complexity to the open-store code/infrastructure/team, so that would weigh against it, but I find it an interesting idea! At least the name Open-Store itself would definitely still work, so no branding problem

Mozilla Location Service Already used in UT?: Not yet What is required: The most popular way to contribute to the project is downloading Firefox for Android or or through Mozilla Stumbler for Android Registration: not needed. Description: The Mozilla Location Service (MLS) is an open service, which lets devices determine their location based on network infrastructure like Bluetooth beacons, cell towers and WiFi access points. This network based location service complements satellite based navigation systems like A-GPS. This open service relies on a community of contributors, ranging from individuals collecting data, developers using and innovating on top of the service to organizations sharing information about their infrastructure. How to contribute: You can contribute by launching the client in android with location and with bluethooth/wifi/mobile data services on (Warning! this could lead to privacy issues, high battery consumption...the use of data is very low and should not entail high costs, but in the case the upload can be carried out once covered by the wifi network) Get Help: In client instructions

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

@alan_g said in Raspberry Pi 4 Model B: I know that my colleagues at Canonical have yet to get graphics working on the Pi4 with Ubuntu Core (I think that's lack of time, not a technical issue) Update: I just read the phrase "note: this fixes mir-kiosk support !" on this snapcraft thread about the Pi4: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/support-for-raspberry-pi-4/11970/37 That implies a kernel which works with Mir graphics and therefore can support Unity8.

and these three for the next competition:

Uh thanks for the reminder. Sorry to say, was still not able to activate / create the projects in Weblate. And also did not merge anything. Let me check it this week, we got a public holiday and on Fri I am off work, so 4 days for Ubuntu Touch xD BR

@Aury88, that was a very interesting read.
