This could be the best time to call for Unity!
We should stand united 😂

Hello all.

As we are all dead man walking

I'm also interested in continuing what was started here.

We must not let the spirit die!

Cheers,

This is liberating if we allow it to be. We're no longer forced to be
Snap only while tethered to Unity8. We finally have control over the
future of this project. The developer team needs to speak to the
community on this.

  * How difficult would a switch to GNOME be and how long would it take?
  * What current phones on the market could the community target based
    upon their openness and compatible hardware/drivers?

We do not NEED Canonical or phone manufacturers. We truly thank them for
getting us here. All the effort by the Ubuntu Phone team has been
amazing and is greatly appreciated.

We all backed this phone project financially and with hours of our
lives. Hours that we spent debugging, coding, helping someone else.
Hours that we could have spent with friends and family or on other
projects.

We chose to work on this phone because we believe in the ideal of
freedom and choice. For us, the other two mobile OS's are not options.
They represent tyranny and forced conformity.

I stand here committed to these ideals and the work that has been done.
I am prepared to further invest my money and time into giving freedom
and choice to those who want it.
