I think most stuff is/was collected here (#67). But it doesn’t hurt and it’s a nicely written one!
The quite critical but wll known tech website TheVerge has a short review of the Fairphone 2 online. I find that quite noteworthy as the website is typically US-focused and the device is not available there. Furthermore, the score of 7 is quite acceptable, given the unique proposition of an ethical consumer electronics device challenging the status quo of electronics production.
I have been an enthusiastic FP1 First Edition owner, being amongst the first thousands of users preordering in early 2013. And while I currently don’t own a Fairphone, I think the FP2 is a step in the right direction in so many aspects that i quite curious already about whats coming next.
I know for FP2 owners, Software Updates and Fixes a Priority One now, and even FP1 owners are still hoping for the much needed update to 4.4 KitKat. But I am exited for a Fairphone 3

There is a continuous discussion about companies making products that fail after a set amount of time so the consumer has to buy a new one. Although I have yet to see hard proof of this so called obsolescence by design I found an example that really made me twitch: All Revolv domotica products will stop working on 15 May:

derstandard (an Austrian news paper) brought a story on their online news about the release of FPOOS (in German).
The short article is mainly about the difference between FPOOS & FPOS, about the available source code on http://code.fairphone.com/, and a commitment of FP for future updates. It also tells about other possible (future) OS, like Sailfish or B2G.

Yubico has replaced all open-source components with proprietary closed-source code in the new Yubikey 4s. There might be a good explanation for this, I assume mostly to protect their business form cheap copies, but have a look yourself and discuss/explain it to me if you can.
I hadn’t had the time to really understand all this and for me the Yubikey was mostly too expansive to just play around with it, but I was thinking about getting one.
(For moderators: This is relevant because the yubikey is one of the more interesting uses for the FP2 extension port)
