Battery 🔋
Jeroen Baten
This talk explains what the UBports Foundation does: managing the Ubuntu Touch OS for mobile devices. The challenges, the why, what and how. The world needs another phone OS. With more focus on privacy. And the Ubuntu Touch OS tries to be the best in the field of open source OS's for mobile devices. In this talk we tell you why. We tell you about our challenges and how we try to solve them. This means we tell you the "what" What is VoLTE and why do we need it in an open source phone OS? And we tell you the "how" How are we working on VoLTE support in Ubuntu Touch? How is knowledge management organized? How do we develop software? How are devices supported?

Have you ever forgotten a passphrase or lost a hardware token? Lost access to enough Bitcoin to buy a pizza or two? Encryption is fundamental to securing our liberties, but key and password management remain difficult even for professionals, let alone the general public.

The real problem however, is integration with existing protocols, instead of inventing something completely new and perhaps web-only. The purpose of our work on Realm Crossover mechanisms has been to design generic solutions that extend many different application protocols, without changing their protocol specs.
