Hi to all.

Thanks to all Ubuntu team from my side.

Eventhough this days have been several negative comments in some forums due
to the project discontinuity, we would not have Ubuntu in our phones up
today nor teams working to continue the project in ports and so on. So very
BIG thanks!

Regards
Marcos

other higher ranking officials were agonising over the choice they had to
make.

gone into getting us this far and that is something to be eternally
grateful for. I for one have a few desktop apps out now which I owe to UT,
they are spin offs of another dev's phone app. So if it were not for UT I
would not have gotten my head round packaging and publishing on Ubuntu.

Ubuntu phone and I can't have any ill feeling toward any of the people who
gave me that experience. Here's to the next chapter in our journey!
