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.

I can’t wait for this! Ever since I heard from /e/ I have been waiting for a chance to install it on my FP3! I’m poised waiting for updates!
Same for me, l’ve bought my FP3 and it’s still in its box waiting for eelo to be released !
I’m watching for Gaël announcement !
Do the beta tests have started ?
Not yet
Very sad. I feel I need /e/ for my FP3. 
Is an Oreo or Pie build going to be tested now?
Anyways very happy to see that something is coming for FP3.
By the way what is expected from Beta testers ? Except being able to flash a an OS, are they expected to do some tests or is it only to install /e/ and then use it ? Is it useful to have a second smartphone ?
We will be starting the testing by the users team for FP3 from today - 16 April
Thanks to all those who volunteered.
Never thought I would write this but we have more testers than we can handle !!!
So not taking any more volunteers.
We expect to wind up the testing in two weeks at best.
The enthusiasm of the Fairphone users never ceases to amaze me.
Stay tuned for the updates on this thread.

Too bad so sad !
Do we have to wait two weeks for the FP3 release or more considering some more fine tuning after beta testing ?
We hope to release the build for all users in 2 weeks. If a problem is identified in the build during testing obviously we will hold it back. No point in releasing a faulty build.

Did it actually start yesterday? I didn’t get any kind of notice so far (I’ve sent the mail to join the testing on March 23rd).
