Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Ackkk! The world is ending!!!

In view of Jane Silber's revelations as to how Ubuntu / OpenStack are leading many platforms, Ubuntu may one day engender or gain an "eBay" effect -- the place to go for everyone. It is feasible that in a few years (maybe 7+) Ubuntu phones could outsell Android after Qualcomm et al, get on boa

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Ackkk! The world is ending!!!

Canonical need to be more expressive about this. Ubuntu phone was born inside canonical and at the end it's just Ubuntu with convergence, is not just a community project that may not have time for creating a page for communication. Canonical should create a dedicated blog for it. Post news, roadma

"Careful, you are mixing Server infrastructure, Desktop and phones." I meant insofar as you have a lot more "eyes" (e.g. at AT&T, Deutche Telekom) focused on code common to some extent across all platforms, and that would tend to mean better security, especially as there's been commentary that

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Ackkk! The world is ending!!!

Careful, you are mixing Server infrastructure, Desktop and phones. Also, i don't think we can blame people to want information about Ubuntu Touch, we should blame tech journalists who are too lazy to carefully read their primary sources. Consumers need journalists, because they don't have the

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Ackkk! The world is ending!!!

From the video keynote "Deutsche Telekom is transitioning large parts of their telephony network to Ubuntu OpenStack cloud infrastructure. AT&T (and) Time-Warner Cable (are) all building their core business services on a private cloud built on OpenStack and Ubuntu." So how well might Ubuntu

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Ackkk! The world is ending!!!

Qualcomm, wow. Awesome. But will this actually materialise, unlike the hi spec convergent BQ phone? Or the consumer ready phones within 12 months? Honestly, after those I tend to take things with a pinch of salt. But seriously if the only way we get information is once a year in speeches, you

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Ackkk! The world is ending!!!

I don't agree... in this case I think it's a) not surprising the media is picking up "EVERY tidbit of information"... because information is kinda thin on the ground. & b) click bait or not... people already interpreted the lack of information as the quiet death of the project, mainly becaus

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Ackkk! The world is ending!!!

Have Canonical ever made public a road map, a plan? Any kind of direction whatsoever? All through this we've been in the dark. This project was abandoned long before this information slipped out. I'm still waiting for the features that were demoed in the walkthrough video that turned out to b

What i don't get is why so many people are like "now it's official, ubuntu touch is dead, there are no updates planned". It is not, the email did not say that. The email said, that there won't be any big updates to the current release until a snappy is finally here. So Ubuntu Touch is not dead,

I had scraps of the information pointing to that on several accounts now - on the Ubuntu community QA [0], Google plus page [1] and even on the Ubuntu podcast [2]. It was not kept secret at all. Weird thing now is that we still don't have any official directions and timelines, and people start
