Demonstration

A priori, anyone who makes the choice to waste tens or hundreds of euros/dollars in a smartphone has the means to intelligently use 1 €/$ by year to promote the development of the mobile OS component of this smartphone.
With Liberapay, the recurrent donations platform built with free software and translated into 22 languages, it's super easy and cheap to make anonymously a donation of 1€/$ by year.
Conclusion: Any Ubuntu Touch user can easily give 1€/$ by year (or more for some) to UBports via Liberapay.

Strangely, at the moment, only 40 Ubuntu Touch users (I presume) seem aware of this.
For the reputation and aura of the UBports project, it would be awesome that it be the one by far with the largest number of supporters on Liberapay.

So and because free as in "free speech" doesn't mean free as in "free beer", it's time to wake up, huge crowd of Ubuntu Touch users, overcome the huge laziness, and tries to saturate Liberapay server with your constant stream of very small (or large) donations !

2020 is an important milestone for UBports and UT with new phones (pinephone, librem5 and may be vollaphone), halium 7.1 and may be Halium 9.1 to be used for new hardwares porting, new QT stack within sight :-), collaboration with others communities increasing,...

So it's interesting to follow how this affects certain data that are publicly available and gives an idea of the growth of the audience for UBports community and Ubuntu Touch.

"The Hesse Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (HBDI) ruled that using the popular cloud platform’s standard configuration exposes personal information about students and teachers “to potential access by US authorities.”

It would be good news if privacy were finally taken seriously, particularly in education, health and more generally all public services sectors.

English version (version Française plus bas)

The following procedures have been successfully followed by several users who were experiencing difficulties installing UBports UT on their BQ aquaris M10 tablets. They are also useful for installations on other devices with an adjustment for the boot to fastboot mode (B.9); from a device off (not in standby):

0.1) Press and hold Volume Down and Power buttons simultaneously for:

Fairphone 2,
Nexus 5,
Nexus 7,
Meizu MX4,
Meizu Pro 5

0.2) Press and hold Volume Up and Power buttons simultaneously for:

BQ aquaris 4.5,
BQ aquaris 5.0,
BQ aquaris M10,
OnePlus One,

0.3) Press and hold Volume Up, Volume Down and Power buttons simultaneously for:

Nexus 4

As usual, use the following procedures at your own risk.

Before starting the following procedures, make sure your tablet battery is fully charged (more than 50%).

A. Installing Ubuntu Touch UBports on a BQ Aquaris M10 Ubuntu Edition Tablet with a Ubuntu (64 bits) PC

put your tablet in developer mode via the menu : System settings \ About \ developer mode
in a terminal on the PC, run the command : sudo apt update
in a terminal on the PC, run the command : sudo apt install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot (to install the basic tools for android)
in a terminal on the PC, launch the UBports installer (previously downloaded and unarchived, version amd64.deb preferably or amd64.snap) with command : ubports-installer
manually select BQ M10 as device in the installer menu
click on Install
connect the active tablet under Ubuntu Touch, via a USB2 port to the PC
in a terminal on the PC, run the command : sudo adb reboot-bootloader to reboot your tablet in bootloader mode ; a menu appears giving the choice between / reboot system / wipe cache partition / reboot to bootloader / power down / factory reset / view recovery logs. Choose "reboot to bootloader" by selecting with volume + and volume - and pressing the On/Off button; the tablet screen turns black and there is Fastboot Mode at the bottom of the screen.

After installing UBports should start and continue as in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuLFTGkuD68

N.B.: if the installer fails, you can try to lanch the installer (point 4.) with sudo: sudo ubports-installer

B. Installing Ubuntu Touch UBports on a BQ Aquaris M10 Ubuntu Edition Tablet with a Windows PC

put the tablet in developer mode via the menu : System settings \ About \ developer mode
install on the PC, the universal driver adb http://adb.clockworkmod.com or a driver specific to the BQ M10 :
https://www.androidusbdrivers.com/bq-aquaris-m10-usb-drivers/
connect the active tablet under Ubuntu Touch, via a USB2 port to the PC
Allow the PC to access the tablet and mark the checkbox to allow it to be accessed at all times.
change the USB to MTP mode on the PC (by default, only allows charging)

https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer/releases/download/0.1.9-beta/ubports-installer.0.1.9-beta.exe
Warning, newer versions of the installer do not work for Windows.
manually select BQ M10 as device in the installer menu
click on "Install" in the UBports installer
turn off the BQ M10 Ubuntu Touch tablet, then start it in Fastboot mode, by simultaneously pressing and holding Volume Up and Power buttons ; a menu appears giving the choice between / system reboot / wipe cache partition / reboot to bootloader / power down / factory reset / view recovery logs. Choose "reboot to bootloader" by selecting with volume + and volume - and pressing the On/Off button; the tablet screen turns black and there is Fastboot Mode at the bottom of the screen.

After that, the installation of UBports should start and run as in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuLFTGkuD68

N.B.: If the UBports installer fails, you can try running it with administrator rights (return to point B.6.).

C. Installing UBports Ubuntu Touch on a BQ Aquaris M10 Android Tablet

on the Android tablet, enable developer mode, in Settings/About device : press "Build number" seven times or more to unlock "Developer options". Once done, go back and you will see Developer Options on the screen next to About. Select it.

Email send in french today to EnVenteLibre (Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version))

Hello,

I am contacting you to consider the possibility of adding the UBports Foundation to the list of associations that are members of your EnVenteLibre platform.

UBports is a charitable foundation under German law, whose mission is to support the collaborative development of the free operating system Ubuntu Touch and to promote its use. The Foundation provides financial, organisational and legal support to the community at large. It also serves as an independent legal entity to which community members can contribute code, funding and other resources, knowing that their contributions will be maintained for the public good.
("Free" translation from https://ubports.com/foundation/ubports-foundation
The English version of the statutes of the UBports Foundation: https://ubports.com/foundation/ubports-foundation/foundation-statutes
The German version, the one that counts from a strictly legal point of view: https://ubports.com/web/content/5674?download=1.)

As far as I am concerned, I am a member of the UBports community and I have been entrusted by Florian Leeber, a member of the foundation's Board of Directors, with the task of seeing if it is possible to take this matter forward.

Indeed, a recurring request from members of the UBports community is to be able to have Ubuntu Touch promotional materials such as stickers, badges, t-shirts, ..., while making a donation to the UBports Foundation to finance actions in favor of the development of Ubuntu Touch. This demand can not be fully met through the tools currently in place (Patreon, Liberapay, ...).

It seemed to me on the one hand that the objectives of the UBports Foundation were fully in line with those promoted by the EnVenteLibre Association and the associations already partners of the platform and on the other hand that the EnVenteLibre platform could perfectly meet the wishes expressed by the members of the UBports community.

This is why I would be very grateful if you could examine the feasibility of this project and give me your point of view on the subject and, possibly, concrete ways to take it forward.

With my most sincere and open regards

En version originale

"Bonjour,

Je prend contact pour envisager avec vous la possibilité d'ajouter la Fondation UBports à la liste des associations adhérentes à votre plateforme EnVenteLibre.

UBports est une fondation caritative de droit allemand, dont la mission est de soutenir le développement collaboratif du système d'exploitation libre Ubuntu Touch et de promouvoir son utilisation. La Fondation apporte un soutien financier, organisationnel et juridique à la communauté au sens large. Elle sert également d'entité juridique indépendante à laquelle les membres de la communauté peuvent contribuer au code, au financement et aux autres ressources, en sachant que leurs contributions seront maintenues pour le bien public.
(Traduction "libre" de https://ubports.com/foundation/ubports-foundation
La version anglaise des statuts de le Fondation UBports : https://ubports.com/foundation/ubports-foundation/foundation-statutes
La version allemande, celle qui compte d'un point de vue strictement légal : https://ubports.com/web/content/5674?download=1).

En ce qui me concerne, je suis un membre de la communauté UBports et il m'a été confié par Florian Leeber, membre du Conseil d'Administration de la fondation, le soin de voir s'il est possible de faire avancer ce dossier.

En effet, une demande récurrente des membres de la communauté UBports est de pouvoir disposer de matériels de promotion d'Ubuntu Touch comme des autocollants, badges, t-shits,..., tout en faisant un don à la Fondation UBports pour financer les actions en faveur du développement d'Ubuntu Touch. Cette demande ne peut actuellement être pleinement satisfaite à travers les outils actuellement mis en place (Patreon, Liberapay,...).

Il m'a semblé d'une part que les objectifs de la Fondation UBports était pleinement en phase avec ceux promus par l'Association EnVenteLibre et les associations déjà partenaires de la plateforme et d'autre part que la plateforme EnVenteLibre pourrait répondre parfaitement aux souhaits exprimés par les membres de la communauté UBports.

C'est pourquoi, je vous serais très reconnaissant d'examiner la faisabilité de ce projet et de me faire part en retour de votre point de vue sur le sujet et, éventuellement, des modalités concrètes pour le faire avancer.

Avec mes très sincères et libres salutations

The confusion between UBports, the name of the community and the foundation, and Ubuntu Touch, the name of the operating system, has been maintained and widely spread for years by Distrowatch.
Is it not possible that the foundation does something to put Distrowatch back on track or has it already been tried without success?

A new crowdfunding has just began on kickstarter.
Its aim is to launch in october 2020 a new smartphone and a new OS, volla OS : "The Volla OS is based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) and contains neither Google Apps nor Google Play Service. Most Android apps can still be installed and used via an anonymous App Store. With our Stretch Goal we’re taking it even further: For your Volla phone you can choose a free open source operating system."

And you know what, Ubuntu Touch might be one of the open source operating system ported by Volla to its new volla phone.
