@twinkybot The ubports@diasp.ca account should now point to the correct one. Thanks for pointing it out.

@domubpkm Yes, in the bad news, there is a very small part of good news...

Thanks again for the suggestions. Right now on the Donations page (https://ubports.com/donate) you will find advertisements for Paypal, Bitcoin, Liberapay and Patreon. I like your idea about having a widget provide the running totals of each platform, however I think it will be best (if we were to display any donation amounts at all) that we display a combined number. UBports is a world class operation and we should present only our best attributes.

UBports continues to grow and advance because of all its amazing users. Thanks again for supporting the project.

I'm also interested in a mattermost client. At first you could use a web app wrapper like the new nextlcoud client for ut.

Yes no I do not want. But this one is Open Source. Therefore I think you can make sure it is not sending everyword.

@jsnjhn Okay, good to know 🙂
But usign qwant for a while now I find the design better and the results much much better.

Hey there, yes, that is a good idea. We'll evaluate our financial options again and check out if it's possible to start doing this before the foundation is here. Can't promise you a time, but we will definitely eventually have t-shirts!

I also think about switching

@hummlbach Stuttgart would be nice for me, i'm interested in app development

bug already known : https://github.com/ubports/webbrowser-app/issues/5

The issue has been solve in the devel and will be released for the OTA3

Thanks @Flohack
The stickers arrived!

Oh boy it was not a nice feeling, when after install on a new FP2, which ubports-installer claimed to be "done", the system ended up with blue screen and was stuck in a boot loop. Although, finding this thread and switching to rc channel helped. Few...

Still https://ubports.com/page/ubuntu-fairphone-2 needs update for two reasons:

Number one is mentioned above At least new camera module does not work, see relevant issue in a bug tracker.

In which way does it collide with the plans for the foundation?
Or does ut even collide?

Yeah well it is an okay solution but not a good one. For some languages it might work. But again it looks like "lazy" translation 😉

I agree that IBM have done a lot to allow 3rd parties in, and also Microsoft have done a lot to simplify for us developers. Same there though, i'm not a Microsoft fan either. 🙂

Nevertheless, i also think that people developing for phones exaggerate how bad it is on phones. There are a lot of similarities between phones as well. Many use the same soc:s and probably also are based on the same development kits. Displays are also many times very similar although different brands, I think probably the baseband is the most difficult part, which is quite essential on a phone of course, but hopefully not all the drivers would have to be closed in one big blob the way it is now. I guess it's fair to say that this is all goes into kind of defacto standards, which makes it essentially different from the PC, but i do think it is possible benefit a lot by focusing on the similarities.

Now I had the chance to try again.
I am right now on a Mac and the client is still a bit buggy. But after understanding when it crashes one can easily avoid it.

The call quality is okay. First of all the voice is clear without any garble but it is not insync with the video. The quality of the video is mediocre. As if you are on a low bandwith. All in all thorught an half an hour session stable.
