The poll received 3,079 self-reported responses, representing less than 5% of PinePhone owners, so the findings are not representative of the entire community. The article discusses respondent geography and broader trends among active community members. ### Source excerpt Throughout January we ran a poll asking people about how they use their PinePhones. Some poll results are quite predictable while others yielded unexpected results. Before we start, let me put on my academic hat for just one minute. This is a small, self-reported and not representative sample. A total of 3079 respondents took part in the poll - which amounts to less than 5% of all PinePhone owners. I'd therefore hesitate to extrapolate any of the results to the entire PinePhone community. I find it more likely that this sample reflects the most active community members and people following our project. It is also worth mentioning that some questions posed in the poll weren't exactly well phrased, and that the poll itself did not follow any established conventions. But this was never meant to be a comprehensive study - it is instead, at best, a peak at the overarching trends of the most active portion of the community. To this end, when describing the results I'll use descriptive generalizations, such as 'more than half' or 'the majority', rather than exact numbers or percentages I feel that this is more in line with the nature of the data and the general spirit of the poll. For what it's worth, I'll also share some of my thoughts and insights as we review the results. Exact numbers and percentages are, however, included in the graphs. As always, I encourage you to share your thoughts about the results in the comments section. Thank you to all those who took the time to fill in the questionnaire! Geography A third of all respondents are from the United States. In Europe, Germany, the United Kingdom (UK) and France have the highest respondent counts. The number is by far the greatest in Germany - more than twice that of the United Kingdom. In terms of per capita, it would appear that we also have a large active community in the Netherlands, Sweden, Austria and Czechia. Adjusted for population size, the response counts in these countries are actually on par or larger t ## We are KDE patrons DevFeed: [We are KDE patrons]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2021-06-02T00:00:00Z Content type: release Language: en Sources: [Community blog on PINE64]() Topics: [Pinephone](), [Mobile](), [User Interfaces](), [Operating system]() Tags: [announcement](), [community](), [community-edition](), [desktop](), [developers](), [devices](), [hardware](), [kde](), [manjaro](), [mobile](), [pine64](), [pinebook-pro](), [pinephone](), [plasma](), [platforms](), [technology](), [user-interface](), [user-interfaces]() ### AI overview PINE64 announces that KDE e.V. has made it a patron, building on the companies' longstanding relationship through KDE Plasma on the Pinebook, PinePhone, and Pinebook Pro. PINE64 says the partnership is expected to bring closer cooperation and tighter integration of KDE technology on its hardware platforms. ### Source excerpt KDE is a project near and dear to our hearts. The original Pinebook, which forged the path for our current hardware lineup, was the first PINE64 device to ship with KDE Plasma Desktop. This was in early 2017. Fast forward to today, both the PinePhone and Pinebook Pro - our current flagship devices - ship with their respective Plasma user interfaces atop of the Manjaro operating system. As many of you surely also remember, earlier this year a dedicated KDE community edition of the PinePhone was sold with the intention to boost development of the Plasma Mobile user interface on the PinePhone. Suffice it to say, we have a long-standing and close relationship with KDE. Therefore it gives me great pleasure to announce that PINE64 has been made a patron by KDE e.V. I would like to take this opportunity to thank KDE e.V. and all the developers I've had the pleasure to work with over the years as well as KDE community members, who have been very supportive of what we do. This most recent development in our mutual journey will surely result in closer cooperation and a tighter integration of KDE's technology on our hardware platforms. Many good things will come from this - stay tuned. Read the full announcement on KDE's website. ## January Update: Happy New Gear!

The edition includes UBports' operating system, a customized case, a revised v1.2 PCB, and CE and FCC certification; profits from sales are to be donated to the UBports Foundation. ### Source excerpt PinePhone UBports Community Edition mock-up; final product may differ in appearance. I am proud to announce that the PinePhone UBports Community Edition is now available for pre-order with an estimated shipping date of late-May, 2020. Community editions are meant to bring exposure to partner-projects operating systems and communities, as well as help finance ongoing development. UBports were some of the very first to embrace our initiative and to offer support for the PinePhone. Together with their friends and colleagues from other projects, UBports developers have now become an integral part of PINE64, actively shaping our goals and aspirations. It is therefore fitting that UBports Foundation will be the first partner in our Community Edition scheme, in which we will ship a customized PinePhone with UBports' operating system and donate all profit from sales to the foundation (more information on the scheme here). The PinePhone UBports Community Edition ships with a customized case (etched with the project's mascot - Yumi), a revised PCB (v1.2) featuring improvements based on feedback from Braveheart developers and testers, as well as CE and FCC certification.
