Re: Fairphone
 

What about the Fairphone Twitter account?

The ReviewJolla image I added later.

Re: Fairphone
 

It's not.
But Simo has a very good track record of being cautious with spreading rumors and even went on the obvious critics side by renaming from ReviewJolla to ReviewSailfish.
His tweets regarding "openness" of Sailfish and use of the word "open" in jollas communication turned almost harsh recently :D

Apart from JollaUsers James, who is not independent anymore because he was hired as Administrator/Editor-in-Chief by Jolla today, Simo is the one researching blogger i trust most when it comes to Jolla affairs.

Edit, actually he tookover Carols position as clarified by willi.

Re: Fairphone
 

Absolutely. JollaUsers has never been anything but gushing praise for Jolla and notably didn't even mention any of their recent troubles.

So James is taking over Carol Chen's role?

Re: Fairphone
 

Good choice I think. He's a very good communicator.

Re: Fairphone
 

Regarding his Facebook page he is filling the position as Community Manager and Carol Chen confirmed in a comment that he is filling her old position now. :)

Re: Fairphone
 

Yes, i was too fast putting the "news" into last post.
Carol answered my question on his facebook post and corrected.
So there seems to be no bitterness involved ;)
Could be an effect of the temporary layoffs timing.
When Jolla tried to fill her position again, she was already employed by redhat. guessing here.

James has converted from one of the loudest (and my favourit) fanboys to a sailor! Good decision by Jolla and very good for him imho.
He has been sort of silent since ~half a year for personal reasons (grand love, no time to blog). At least thats what he told me and i have no real reason to doubt. Maybe a tiny bit of sadness about jollas situation was involved, as with all of us not wanting to spread bad news too far ;) We were chatting occasionally during the time.

...and I replied on that http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=137

there is nothing so far from fairphone or Jolla about an official sailfishos support. Community version of sailfishos has been there for long. So nothing new here.

Re: Fairphone
 

I don't care I still want an official statement not some random tweets or rumors. Lets see coming weeks.... But I am bit pessimistic for historical reasons...

Re: Fairphone
 

Second your desire and hope you are fine with us at least clearly marking rumors as such.
As of now, all Dalvik/FP2 and official build is fanboy talk..
I am just having fun speculating on "educated" basis.

Re: Fairphone
 

Well that's exciting, I preordered my FP2 hoping that it would prove to be a more reliable piece of HW to run SFOS and other alternative OS on, and that looks a little more likely today.

I hope the Fairphone lives up to its expectations in terms of HW, I think it will attract more software development if people decide to stick with it in the long run.

Every couple of weeks I've been checking for cyanogenmod ports, but none have surfaced yet, hopefully that's because all the likely candidates are working on SFOS ;)

Fingers crossed something is released by the time it's delivered :)
