Community collaborates on new convergent Ubuntu phones
We’re celebrating the arrival of two new Ubuntu phone community ports! If you’re the lucky owner of a Sony Xperia Z1, you will soon be able to download an image to turn it into an Ubuntu phone and PC! Alternatively, if you’re the owner of a OnePlus One, you will be able to flash and use Ubuntu on your phone.
We owe a big thanks to the Ubuntu community for porting Ubuntu to these devices, and especially Marius Gripsgard for his work on the OnePlus One! More widely, this is a meeting of the minds with phone vendors who have been pushing open source in their devices and their developer community for a while. The Sony open source efforts in particular have been essential to this work. Similarly, OnePlus’ commitment to open source has helped tremendously towards this port becoming available.
But with any porting work, we know this is just a beginning. We would like to help make sure that these ports are finalised, remain up to date, and bugs are addressed. For this reason, we will be collaborating with OnePlus and participating and contributing to Sony Open Devices community to make sure that the open source community continuously gets all the information, code and tools they need to keep this exciting project going!
Get ready to flash!
