Summary of the Volla Community Days 2022

Over the hills in Germany, somewhere between Dusseldorf and Koln, lies a charming town called Remscheid. It’s the hometown of the proud Volla Phone founder Dr. Wurzer. Soon, Remscheid will be the place with the one-and-only Volla Coffee Bar. While it might be worth considering a (holiday) trip there, we’d like to give you a short summary of the Volla Community Days that took place last June.
 
As a hybrid event, you can still watch the livestream on YouTube here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVaykbD_K68. In the first day of the event, the launch of the new Volla Phone 22 was central. In one of the breaks, it was great to get our hands on one of the new Volla Phones 22 which feels robust and has a sleek black or white look with a red button on the right side. More info about the phone, you can get on the Kickstarter campaign page https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/volla/volla-phone-22-the-beauty-of-freedom/. On day 2, there was much to learn about the operating systems on the Volla Phone (you can watch Day 2 via this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYIflikY3Ds).
 
We were glad to hear from Dr. Wurzer that he sees a market for Ubuntu Touch. In fact, of all the 5500+ devices, 30% of the customers choose a Volla Phone with Ubuntu Touch pre-installed. This sounds very promising! Later in the morning, our own Florian Leeber gave a talk in which he reassured that the community is still very much alive and kicking. He mentioned that most of the efforts are now put on the 20.04 release, and that together with the Volla team, we are working to release the 20.04 update on the Volla Phone 22 asap. 
 
So, for all those very patient users, Florian ended his talk with saying: “I have to ask our already, very patient users, to wait until the next 20.04 release arrives. Things will be much more awesome!”
