Hey dear forum members. From today on we’ve got a new category: #software:alternative-oss. @M_Dammer made a request and now it is life! As more and more people like to try alternative OS’s like Sailfish and now Ubuntu is getting more mature, it seemed a good idea to give discussing these alternati…

Thanks @Douwe ! I think that are great additions for the forum! :slight_smile: Furthermore I want to deposit the wish to also have a read-only section for FP2 (general development and/or Marshmallow specific).
