"... we have resumed exploring the creation of an external keyboard for the PinePhone. To be precise, we have approached a vendor and began exploring our options for a slide-out keyboard akin to those used on the Nokia N900."

Woohoo! Just ordered the #PinePhone #postmarketos with Convergence Package. So looking forward to having some fun with this 😜 📱 🎉 🚀
My #Pinephone order status
I ordered my #UBports Community Edition Pinephone at the end of May. Obviously with the raging global pandemic, I knew I'd have to be patient.
Early last week I got an email from PINE64 telling me they still couldn't ship to Canada through regular mail, and if I didn't upgrade to DHL shipping before Friday last week, they'd cancel my order. On the PINE64 forum some people were mad about it. But I understand they've been dealing with an impossible situation.

#Jolla Opens New Forum for #SailfishOS Discussions
The until now used TJC website will be replaced with a new discussion forum. The new forum should provide a better platform for developer collaboration since TJC has not been the optimal forum for serving developers’ needs. The new website includes several sub-forums which allow discourses and deeper analysis for every type of discussions.

The City of Portland, OR is considering banning the use of facial recognition technologies. This coming Monday, Electronic Frontier Alliance member Portland TA3M will host a discussion which takes a closer look at the proposal. https://www.eff.org/event/portland-facial-recognition-ordinance-drafts
A new federal bill may be our best chance to ban government use of face recognition. https://act.eff.org/action/tell-congress-to-ban-federal-use-of-face-recognition

Riot is now named Element. Feels a lot better and is faster. Well done!
Thanks to the work of Samuel Holland, crust advanced power management is now capable of running the #PinePhone for 100hrs in idle without the modem (approximately 110mW). With modem on, we should get 40% battery run-time increase (to approx 24 hrs).
Coming to your distro of choice soon!
