Hey,
thank you so much for your support, your contributions help a lot to
keep Ubuntu Touch going. In fact, our patreon just today hit 500$ a
month, that will cover most of our expenses to pay for servers and
infrastructure.
About asking Canonical for financial support: It'd be pretty darn
amazing to have their support, but I don't think that will happen and
it would be a little awkward to ask for that. It's not their project
anymore, so it's not their obligation to fund it. They poured a lot of
money into Ubuntu Touch, Unity 8 and convergence and we're thankful
for that. But we understand that they have to cut some costs to stop
the company from making huge losses, so it would probably be
inappropriate to ask them for funding.
All the best,
Jan Sprinz (aka. NeoTheThird, community manager at UBports)
