Thank you guys for continuing this great OS for mobile. Heartily thanks.
Surely i was following UT on xda and ubports but now more actively. I was
so keep to seen UT on my Xperia phone.

Hope it will be on your road map. I m ready to put my phone on test.

I m not a developer but I will contribute in kind.

Why thank you. I should note that i am not the main brain in this project,
i mainly help with community management, but i will let the others know. :)

I'm sorry to hear that you feel betrayed, i'm sure that was not Marks
intention. Also remember that he spent millions pushing Ubuntu both on
phones and desktop. If you're interested, i've written about my
interpretation of this whole development on askubuntu:

As of your M10 tablet: UBports will try to provide new images for all the
former official devices, but we will not be able to make all of them run
our future updates, due to hardware limitations. I won't make any promises
right now, but the M10 tablet is a likely candidate to make the jump into
"the next generation", so don't throw it out yet ;) If you feel like that
suits your needs better, you can of cause go ahead and reflash the device
with android, that's for you to decide.

To everybody who offered to help: That's very much appreciated. We don't
have all the infrastructure to allow the community to find tasks up yet,
but for now you can head over to https://forums.ubports.com/
topic/177/welcome-to-the-ubports-community-introduce-yourself-here and
introduce yourselves to us. :)

All the best,

Jan (NeoTheThird)

Dear Jan NeoTheThird and everybody making this happen,


Thank you guys.

Like almost everybody on this list, I feel frustrated and betrayed by Mark
and Canonical. Differently from you, guys, I am just an end user. I am not
able to write two single lines of a software, not even in BASIC. For years
I have been using Ubuntu and just Ubuntu. No dual boot. When I had the
chance to help Ubuntu to develop UT, I was among the first ones to get a BQ
4.5 and to abandon N$A/C1A/Mi 5 phones. It was very clear that it was an
experimental device, but I was eager to have linux also in my (only) mobile
phone. When BQ M10 appeared, it was promoted as THE convergence tool and I
bought one too (unfortunately, it was clear since day 1 that Canonical was
not telling the truth and that the tablet was anything but a final product.
It was never able to substitute my computer. By the way, what does Mark
suggests us to do with those gadgets? Is he offering any reimbursement?).

So, I am happy and appreciate the fact that you guys have decided to move
on with this project. I can't thank you enough. Please, accept my
acknowledgement and let me know if and how a physician like me can help.

Best regards,


Giovano Iannotti
