Hi Peter,  I believe that a system similar to what you're asking for is already under development in the form of the messaging framework: https://code.launchpad.net/messaging-framework  I think there are similar plans for VoIP as well. Pretty much everyone's on holiday now but if you give me

Hi to all. In line with Peter, it would be extremely encouraging to heard some comment from Ubuntu giving us visibility of the coming mimesstones. If there is some secretism due to bussines protection, just some positive message saying 'no worry, all under control' would be enough... It feels

I think it takes more than "fixing bugs" to make a successful phone platform. I've proposed a solution to a problem that a lot of people face, presumably, today in a world of hectic chatting and information exchange [1]. Sadly, not a single comment from a single Canonical employee on it, even

My hope and expectation for 2017, is that we'll see Ubuntu for phones being moved to Ubuntu Core and that the desktop gets sufficiently useful that Ubuntu Touch can be renamed Ubuntu Personal. I think that's a really good name and I hope they start using it for phones and tablets by the end of

Let's be honest: The M10 is a really cool device. It features a lot of the stuff we were promised in the Ubuntu Edge campaign but did not see in Ubuntu Touch up to that point. But it still has some annoying bugs and the hardware just can't live up to the expections of having a tablet when you

Hi All the narrative surrounding convergence has been about one code for all devices: so developments in one area supposedly improves the experience in all areas. I realize that convergence hasn't quite happened yet, and that so far, seemingly Touch has been doing its own thing, but surely,
