We have started a project to translate the /e/ OS as default apps into various languages. You can check the details here. Languages will be added if there is a demand for it and off course if translators are available.

Update: As mentioned above I have already received details from about a dozen volunteer testers for the FP3. If you still want to send in your details you are welcome.
In some cases I may not have written back to some of you to confirm that I have your details.
All the same please note I am collecting the details you have shared and will be announcing the start of the testing here on this thread. Expect it to happen soon.
Again thanks for offering to help with the testing efforts.

When I will install eelo on my FP3 I’d like to root it : do the tests are made on rooted or non-rooted phones ?
Right now the priority is to get the FP3 ported. We also usually work with non rooted phones. You can try rooting once you get the /e/ ROM on your FP3.
My FP3 arrives this week, if not DHL sleeps on friday. 
Can not wait for testing /e/.
Manoj : it was just to know. I guess that flashing addonsu lineageos package should be enough to root FP3.
Fairphoner : I have ordered my FP3 sunday and I received it on Tuesday ! I received a message on my smartphone from DHL at 11h, so keep an eye on your Smartphone and get ready to receive it !
Alt0216: Ordered on Friday, it should arrive this Friday. I ordered it to a parcel station because I’m not home. Let’s see what happens.
Hi! thank you for FP3 porting. My Fp3 has been waiting for a privacy friendly and stable operating system for daily use for about 3 months now. It’s still locked in its box, like it just came to my house. Good job!
Hiii Manoj… is there a new status? I have my FP3 since thirty minutes… lalala

Very good, next weekend is easter and I have time to install /e/.
can’t wait for it
mee too
(the week is half over)
We are doing some internal testing on the build first. That means another member of the development team flashed the build on his FP3 to test it. Previously it was only the developer who had tested it.
As always the same person works on three different tasks which results in some tasks slipping.
I will update when we can release it for our user team testing.

No problem. I don’t really want to push. It’s best to be good, then it takes time.
