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.
@UBportsNews said in Ubuntu Touch Photography:
Does Ubuntu Touch make your photos better or worse?
Does not having a working zoom or flash make your photos better or worse? I bet you can guess...
(I can't read the article, it gives me a 404.)
@commisde That's good stuff! An English translation would be quite helpful. I might even be inclined to help with a translation into Dutch...
@cliffcoggin said in DistroWatch Poll: Do you own a Linux-powered phone? - UBports is a choice.:
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.
@Keneda said in Anbindung der Konten geht nicht (The accounts cannot be linked):
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.
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.

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My first smartphone was an already outdated Blackphone and I enjoyed the option to use as few Google-linked apps as possible.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!
@UdenGoogle said in OnePlus One, notes say camera zoom won't work:
we will get at some point a good camera in OPO or not?
Most likely, we will. And we will probably get it in normal updates, when it's ready.
@Flohack said in OnePlus One, notes say camera zoom won't work:
I am working at the same time on all devices somehow xD
Do you maybe look like this? 
@stanwood Thank you, that was super helpful! 
@doniks said in Axolotl: contacts?:
LOL. no dogfooding?
I bet they wil start using their own software once it becomes more suitable for use with groups...
if I recall correctly there are a few li'l bugs left to squish. 
@cliffcoggin What we find intuitive or self-explanatory differs greatly from one person to the next... I tried it out when I read your post, because I had not been called on the phone that's running UT yet. I saw a button-like symbol in the middle, with faint arrows towards a red button on the reft and a green button on the right, and it seemed pretty clear to me (but then I'd already read this thread, so that probably counts as cheating).
I find that UT is much more centered around swiping than Android... so I guess: when in doubt, try a swipe.
Since the original question was solved, I'll mark this as solved.
Axolotl is clearly very much under development, and I'm excited to see it improve, as I'm sure will happen.
@AppLee Don't worry, it's only my private social life that's been destroyed. 
@CiberSheep
Thank you. I guess I've either decided to take it later (and then never done it, because apparently there is no way) or done so and forgotten.
@Rondarius said in [Request] [Solutions] Privileged ICE contacts available on lockscreen + medical information:
I'm able to talk with some paramedics on monday and ask them if they have an idea of how the symbol could look like.
That's great! In which country? I'm sure that makes a difference. Here in the Netherlands, there is a big blue Star of Life on every ambulance.
If i do a search for 'star of life', as a result I get a wall of blue.
If I search for the generic term 'emergency symbol', I get mostly red and mostly crosses, not stars. Of course, the red cross on white can't be used. And a white cross on red needs some indication that it's not the Swiss flag.
Sometimes the crosses are combined with snake and staff. But most of the snake-and-staff symbols I find are combined with a star, not a cross. And they're usually blue.
Anyway, I've said all I needed to say. I'm sure the maker of the app will be able to pick something good.
@Lakotaubp Any useful results you can point us to? 'Symbol' might yield better results than 'sign' here...
I found the Wikipedia page for the star symbol above, it's apparently called the Star of Life: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_of_Life
The fact that it's recognised in multiple countries could make it a good choice.
A search for 'star of life' on the Noun Project gives some nice results: https://thenounproject.com/search/?q=star of life
I like this one a lot:
@3T_Ed said in [Request] [Solutions] Privileged ICE contacts available on lockscreen + medical information:
Could you provide a direct link to the symbol you posted above? I could not find that particular one, would like to see that creator other uploads.
I found it here: https://www.iconfinder.com/search/?q=medical emergency
Direct link is https://www.iconfinder.com/icons/6084448/emergency_medical_medicine_icon
Any reason we should get the symbol from www.nounproject.com website? Are we bound to that project when it comes to selecting icons for UT/topbar?
I have no knowledge of that. I just figured it would be a good source of inspiration, because many of their icons are small and simple, so they can be used in small sizes and still be recognizable.
