Subject: Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Idea: consider crowdfunding UBports project
The ubport fin. assets can be found here:

Instead of just crowdfunding, - in the final analysis, gauging and suggesting
how the money is spent is also a good way to advocate for ubuntu-touch
longevity.
I'd say Canonical funding ubports, would be just as realistic as Marius
Gripsgard getting hold of firmware that work on a sub $100 phone.
_ _ _ _ _ _However, if ubports.com changed into partnering with "'" swappa.
com/market/eu "'" by selling 2 or 3 separate devices, there - then that would
solve the"Where do I buy an Ubuntu phone ?" ( First-world problem )
Obviously, this online store strategy could work with an Ubuntu user; be them
North American, european, or global.So, I urge Ubuntu phone users to seriously
consider swappa as an improvement on their ebay-shop etc
the best part is you get notified when an ubuntu-phone becomes available!
Here is an example (although you could easily email the support desk to see if
an Ubuntu-phone is listed).

Thank-you and Happy Easter 2017.

I'm supporting UBPort as a patreon, but I think UBPort should negotiate with
Canonical to "sponsor" them : giving them free hosting, some devices, and why
not some money ?

Hi,
I am user of BQ Aquaris E5, which is my actually first ever smart phone, and I
am deeply saddened that Canonical had to end Ubuntu Phone project. I am very
thankful for them for creating this awesome, free operating system for smart
phones, with convergence with Desktop, which I am really not ready to leave it
in the drawer. Big thanks to them!
I have discovered that UBports project, which is continuing Ubuntu Phone
developing, has Patreon site [0] to collect funds for it's development, and for
the main goal they set to have full time developer working on system we love.
I am encouraging you to consider funding UBports by becoming patreons to help
them continue Ubuntu Phone development.
There are actually lot's of free software projects and their supporting
organizations that needs our money too, may it be Debian and Ubuntu, or maybe
Free Software, Document and Linux Foundations, but these mentioned have already
their stones set, meanwhile UBports really needs a kickstart (pun intended? :-)
).
Thanks for hearing.
