Get to know the people behind Volla and bring along your ideas and questions. Parallel to the event program, you can get personal advice. We will help you set up your Volla phone and use the unique Volla features such as the springboard, the security mode or the multi boot function. How about trying out a second operating system such as Ubuntu Touch or Droidian?
