That's excellent news! Thank you for the effort and time you have put in
the development of Replicant 6.0 and its ports to S3 and S2.

We at Tehnoetic had no idea that you lack the hardware to continue the
porting work. If you need a second S2 or S3, please let us know because
we have spare phones that don't look so great esthetically so we can't
ship them to customers, but otherwise they are completely functional.

I know that the Replicant project has those devices, and if Paul is not
working on them, it shouldn't be a problem to send them over to another
Replicant developer.

In any case, we'd be happy to buy and donate directly to you one unit of
each of the devices you mentioned you'd like to port Replicant 6.0 to:
Note 2, Tab 2 7.0 and Tab 2 10.1. If you are attending FOSDEM this
weekend, we can make a personal delivery :-)

Happy hacking,
Tiberiu
