A decade-old Launchpad bug about missing Ubuntu Phone documentation was finally closed as invalid over a recent weekend, sparking an impromptu reunion among former Canonical engineers who received the email notification. Ex-team members reminisced about the Ubuntu Phone project, its Scopes framework, and its 2017 shutdown, while the piece notes the project's legacy lives on through Snap (born from Click), Mir (now a Wayland compositor), and Ubuntu's return to GNOME. Ubports continues to maintain Ubuntu Touch on niche hardware from Pine64 and Volla.
