Sailfish os? - lemm.ee

What you think about this operating software? Pretty niche still, but if its alright maybe we could take the next step and use a almost open source os?

Personally I would love to see it gaining ground as I would love Europe to have its own phone OS.
Ubuntu Touch is German and Postmarket OS is european. I’m not so sure about Mobian.
I'm surprised to learn Ubuntu Touch is german, especialy since the main version of Ubuntu and their parent company (Canonical) is South-African.

Ubuntu gave up on Ubuntu Touch, but being open source some Norwegian guy decided to continue developing it on his own, and some people joined him leading to the ubports foundation. Canonical let them continue to use the name Ubuntu Touch and there is some continued cooperation, but Ubuntu Touch is completely independent from Canonical these days.

Ubports

@cabbage Ubuntu is a community, the Ubuntu community of which we're part, hasn't given up on Ubuntu Touch. Canonical stopped working on it in 2017, but Canonical is not Ubuntu, it's part of Ubuntu (a very important part).

While Marius Gripsgard is a very important person withing our community, it wasn't a single person who continued developing on his own, it was a community of developers, translators, testers, community organizers, etc... It's not nice to ignore those contributions.

@cabbage here's a more complete description of our situation:

1. UBports community is autonomous from Canonical.

2. UBports community follows the Ubuntuy Code of Conduct.

3. UBports has a licence for branding from Canonical.

4. UBports incorporates Ubuntu in Ubuntu Touch, greatly benefiting from the work Canonical and the community does, we are grateful and happily welcome this, and the collaboration we have with some of Canonical teams, the larger Ubuntu community, and sometimes even with Debian as an upstream for Ubuntu. It's our desire that it be so and even more whenever possible.

5. UBports is part of the Ubuntu Community, and regularly participates in its activities.
