Sorry but i don't understand Dutch.

Deutsch is not Dutch, Deutsch is German. I should know, because I'm Dutch.

carrabelloy has been seen using an online translator before, so that's not the problem here. They're just being childish.

Hello! Trying again... maybe a shorter post will work. I've been reading through people's introductions, and interesting stuff like the meet-the-community page, and it might be time to introduce myself here.
I'm Moem, or at least that's how a lot of folks know me. The name came from one of my favourite books. I'm active in the Dutch hackerspaces community and on the Linux Mint forum where I'm a moderator. I'm Dutch.

The Star of Life symbol is usually used in blue. I think that is a good reason to make it blue here, too. But on a black background, it would be good to have a white outline because that has maximal contrast with black.

So, this is my proposal.

@commisde That's good stuff! An English translation would be quite helpful. I might even be inclined to help with a translation into Dutch...

Why?

To show the world that we exist.

@Flohack Ooh, that's exciting! Thanks for the update!

@Keneda said in Anbindung der Konten geht nicht (The accounts cannot be linked):

Beside, isn't dutch a german langage?

No, it's not, it's a Germanic language.

It surprises me that a speaker of French (I assume) cannot see the difference between Dutch and German! I would have thought it was easy.
We should probably stop this off-topic conversation... so for now, salut et à la prochaine.

It sounds to me like that's what Libremax was talking about. An existing store, so that is a separate entity from the UBports foundation.

@C0n57an71n said in Security on UT:

@Keneda yes, telegram is open source, but not what whappens in the servers. That is why Axolotl should be pushed forrward.

The two aren't interchangeable. It also depends on whether any of your contacts use it. I happen to use both, for that reason.
I'm eagerly awaiting the further development of Axolotl, but it will not replace Tg for me.

Continued:
I installed Linux Mint five years ago and things went downhill from there My first smartphone was an already outdated Blackphone and I enjoyed the option to use as few Google-linked apps as possible. Then a Oneplus One was dropped into my lap, taking things even further down that path. LineageOS is pretty neat. Recently I heard that Ubuntu Touch runs on that phone too! So I got myself a cheap used one with a broken screen glass, and here I am. New glass is in the mail, UT is installed and I like it. Once the phone has been repaired I'll put my SIM in it and see how I like it in actual practice as a daily driver.

I'm not at all a developer but I do enjoy tinkering and UT feels like a community of tinkerers. It feels lively and fresh and I'm happy to be here.

@Lakotaubp Working now, thank you!

@Rondarius said in Privileged ICE contacts and medical information available on lockscreen [WORK IN PROGRESS]:

I make mockups and hopefully someone with the required talent could do something with it.

Exactly. I was not saying 'you, Rondarius, should now personally make this in UT style'. I was pointing out that I like the direction you're going, I believe we're on the right track, and someone with design skills could build on what has been done so far. It's a group project after all!

@Rondarius I like that! It just needs a more UT-like styling.

@3T_Ed said in Privileged ICE contacts and medical information available on lockscreen [WORK IN PROGRESS]:

If we were to use the Star of Life or a derative thereof we would need to get authorization since it's copyright protected.

Good point. I've read the document about the Start of Life as found on https://www.ems.gov/staroflife.html and apparently it's only copyrighted in the blue version they use there. That makes me think it would be legal to use it if it weren't blue, and also not a copy of the official version.
Which brings me back to the version from the Noun Project that I posted here. Maybe in red? They're often red on those medical alert pendants. And it also looks a bit like a Red Cross which is a good association.

@Rondarius said in Privileged ICE contacts and medical information available on lockscreen [WORK IN PROGRESS]:

I just feel that using the Star of Life as the image for the app would be wrong. The Star of Life itself has nothing with medical infomation about the owner, associated with it.

Then we disagree (which is normal and fine). I feel that the Star of Life is suitable because it has such strong associations with

• medical stuff
• emergencies

And also because medical personnel or volunteers with First Aid training will be so familiar with the symbol that it will attract their attention.
There's a reason why similar symbols are often used on medical alert pendants like these:

@Rondarius You could upload it to Imgur and post a link.

@AppLee said in [Feature Request] Meetings / Events from calendar on lockscreen:

In order to move forward, I'd say a good way to improve the user experience would be to add a customization feature to the circle indicator (sorry I don't remember it's proper name).

I think that's a great idea.

@CiberSheep Even if something is easy to check, one would still need to actively check it.
They're easy to pull. But Kristatos suggests having them pushed. That's the difference.

I think it's a valid request.

After installing UT on a spare device, I put my SIM into the phone to try it out for a week or so. I think that's two months ago now.
I'm using a OnePlus One.

@UniSuperBox We prefer a good release to a fast one!

@Aury88 said in UBports Website rebuilding:

is ubports build with JAVA

If so, it should be spelled 'built with JAVA'.

It's currently phrased like a command: Hey you! Build with JAVA!
If it's intended to inform people that UT was built using JAVA, that's a different tense of the verb 'to build' and should be spelled accordingly.
