I really don't know a lot, I've been using kde for like 2 years and kde plasma 5 for about a month so far. I would love to help any way I can, but I don't know how to code either, I haven't had the time to learn. And as for contacting someone on the Fairphone board, I happened to come across Bas van Abel's email, which is bas"at"fairphone.com

Is there any thought about this at all? Hi Omar, I also thought about Fairphone at some point, spoiler alert, I love their work. It definitely makes sense, there's 2 main difficulties: we lack the people who could approach them (Fairphone or any other manufacturer, for that matter) with guaranties and I have the impression it wouldn't be all that easy to adopt the hardware under our software stack. On the other hand, I hope we all can pull these issues off, as a community. The main question is: who is on board and how are you going to help?
