Dear Ubuntu Developers & Supporters, first of all thank you for your work. Also Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year. I do think this is the perfect time to talk about Ubuntu Phone (UP) and its next future. Mark Suttleworth said in May UP is not in the main focus, and that his daily phone is n

Likewise, thank you to all Ubuntu developers. I enjoy and value my Meizu Pro 5 Ubuntu Edition. I was wondering though, how many Ubuntu phone users there are across all devices (BQ, Nexus, Meizu)? 2,000 or so? If that's about right, and we each contributed $100, wouldn't that enable a seriou

Hello, about Cyanogenmod, there are multiple versions for the various variants of the device. These have been merged into a single one (jflte) in the Cyanogenmod 11 release. but have been splitted again from CM 12 as maintenance became hard. Multiple variants are currently supported.

Would it be worthwhile to set up a forum (I have spare server space for something like vanillla, or myBB which is rated highly), in order to help discuss, and expedite Ubuntu phone development? Existing forums, such as askubuntu don't seem to be focused on BQ, Nexus or Meizu specific matters.

Sami That sounds better than my shared server option -- I actually registered "ubuntuphone.me" thinking that was descriptive, making it about personal use of ubuntuphone, but not sure of the Trademark issues, so I didn't set up the site. If that name is sufficient (at least to get started, w

I think it would be prudent to limit the forum to existing and future supported devices (aka, Nexus, BQ and Meizu), in order to expedite development of phones to a sufficient degree that largely eliminates those relatively minor but annoying bugs -- maybe sufficient to entice Android or even iP
