New Official UBports UX and Design Steering Committee

Thanks to the ever-growing and maturing UBports community and the quick development of our favourite OS Ubuntu Touch, a need arose to have a clear UX and Design steering committee.

We are pleased to announce Joan (@CiberSheep) as the head of this new team.

Joan not only has an infectiously positive attitude, but also understands development and has contributed not only towards the base of native UT apps (check it: https://open-store.io/?sort=relevance&search=author%3AJoan%20CiberSheep), but also has put much care and input into the look and feel of logos for other devs such as Brian Douglass' "Clickable", the kid-safe UT browser "Jade Diamond", "Recipe Boss", "Dice Roller", and more.

On behalf of UBports, thank you very much, Joan, for your contributions to the entire community so far, and for stepping up to the task, and we look forward to seeing exciting improvements to Ubuntu Touch.

If you are interested in joining the official UX and Design Steering Committee, don't hesitate to join the Telegram group (https://t.me/UBports_UX) and reach out to Joan.

First Stable Version of Matrix Client FluffyChat Just Dropped in the Open Store!

Thanks to the awesome and friendly work of our own community member Christian Pauly @krille:chat.regionetz.net, FluffyChat has released its first stable version!

To celebrate the release, UBports has now funnelled FluffyChat notifications through its very own push notification server (yay!).

But wait, there's more! To top off your weekend with a nice cherry, you can now create your own UBports.chat username on UBports own decentralized Matrix server! https://ubports.chat:8448/_matrix/client/#/login

Matrix (https://matrix.org/blog/home/) is gaining popularity quickly in the free software world as a protocol and most platforms have a stable native client.

So, head to the Open Store now, and go find yourself a FluffyChat and message your family and friends right now!

Great work, UBports! You made your voice heard over at #Fairphone!

In just one day, many of you #UBports friends jumped into the discussion and made your voice heard and your vote count that #UbuntuTouch should be available on the Fairphone 3 (#FP3).

If you didn't yet, why not take a moment and do it? This kind of discussion creates a great buzz around our excellent project and community.

Thanks and keep up the great work
