ubuntu-phone team mailing list archive

[Eran Benjamin <obelisk@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When he says ditching unity, does he also mean the unity desktop?
I actually like the unity desktop, there are many distros with good 
gnome desktops, I use ubuntu as desktop mainly because unity has matured 
nicely.

Now, if only someone found a way to install sailfish on those reasonably 
priced BQ's or Wileyfoxs...
But I guess I will have to find their mailing list now.

Thanks to Shuttleworth and the Canonical teams for the attempt.
