Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

well, I think this are normal hiccups for a startup. The next thing is that they lost the support from one investor to be accurate. When the financing round will be successful all is fine. And this means a lot of the stuff employees will come back if they can. And the court proceedings wills stop then too I think. So not everything is like you described. And I'm convinced that they will get it. I think compare it all the time to meego, maemo etc. is not a good thing because big companies worked in the background. Like intel and nokia.

so stay positive


edit:
seems that the financing thing is done how you can see in later posts

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

<+AnttiSaarnio> We have received financing to continue Sailfish OS development from our investors. THIS means that reports about Jolla's death are greatly exaggerated «smile»

There will be detailed blog post tomorrow, but "We have received financing to continue Sailfish OS development from our investors."

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

Great news indeed!

Now, on to passing a Jolla to Matias somehow

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

lol. not readin my posts?

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

yep. good-meeting today!

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

Merry Christmas!!!!

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

Yes of course, that is why I was saying passing the phone to CepiPerez :)

Today, the dolar rates has been gone almost twice (!) in Argentina because of their new government....

So mailing from outside is at least not an option. The only good option would be to pass it out to someone who will go to Argentina :)

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

If anyone knows someone going to Argentina from USA and willing to take it with him/her and CepiPerez is willing to accept it and continue development, I will donate my Jolla for him.

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

SailfishOS is based on Mer, which started as a fork of MeeGo, and thus is a real descendant of MeeGo. Hence it's rpm-based.

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

Great news. First see if I will get the tablet I paid for.
Then in due course, order my Intex phone ..

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

CepiPerez, you could still dev for Saifish by installing it on a android phone ... no?

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

thats enough explanation why this forum getting so busy with jolla :D

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

what is your problem with having Jolla/SailfishOS categories at tmo?

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

Maybe Cepi just doesn't want to develop for Jolla any more.

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

Well he said [1] "My phone was stolen again" and [2] "I'm not planning buy another one since there's no more support from Jolla."

[1] is easily solvable (as noted in this thread),
[2] does not seem to be valid anymore, as Jolla is (supposedly) back in business.

So either he gives a good reason, or he comes back! :)

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

Well that's what i think as well.
Probably we have lost another one to the dark side. :(
Otherwise Cepi would have already posted in this thread again.

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

Guys, I don't want to go into details, but he also has some personal (financial) problems... I hope he'll be recovered asap

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

Yep. Also my computer is broken now.

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

Cepi - Broken hardware or broken software?, what's the problem?, can we help sort your PC?, what's happened to it?, you really are not having much luck are you..?

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

if we can help, tell us

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

ouch.... :( :(

Seems like hardware related :(

Collecting some money so we could get CepiPerez a new PC/Notebook would be a nice I guess. No pc means no development.
I'm sure that if we can achieve this, CepiPerez would realize that it's not his time yet to leave us :)

An i5 with 4GB is around 5700 ARS (€400)

Edit: I would say, lets start a crowdfunding?
(but WITHOUT any loss to companies like Indiegogo!)

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

Count me in. He needs a jolla & a PC ~ 600€ Either he buys that in Argentina or we get it here and DHL it. Current free import is $ 300 only.

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

my friend and his wife are going there around Easter time. They live in UK and she said that it wouldn't be a problem to get something there but she won't go to BsAs this time, her parents are in Cordoba.

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

If they can post it in Argentina itself, no need to pay import taxes... right?

Btw, Easter is still a looooong time away at the moment...

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

I would also like to help.

Cepi, what can we do for you? Perhaps we could just send some money using Western Union (or a direct bank transfer). Or is there hardware you cannot buy there and need sent from abroad?

Your development effort is much appreciated, so I hope you continue with it. On the other hand, if you have really decided you have had enough, good luck, so long and thanks :)

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

I don't need a new PC, just motherboard, micro and ram. My broken one is too old and I can't change only one part. I can buy it here, but my salary sucks and can't afford it. Also getting a phone is hard now.
I don't want to leave this wonderful community, but I can't keep asking for money. It makes me feel bad, everyone have problems and you don't need to worry about me.
Anyways, thanks everyone for your support.

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

CepiPerez, could you describe :
- the type of motherboard, CPU and RAM ? And which are your preferences ?
- some good Argentine computer webshops which can ship to your address ?

In this way, it will be easier to the TMO community to take some action.

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

you should not feel bad about it. It's not that you are asking, people are offering. And you did so much for people here, you really are irreplaceable when it comes to SW for this community.

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

Cepi don't worry about it. indeed is the same thing as donations..since it is a donation itself. Is a friendly Thanks for your work. so really dont stay in that bad feeling.
Tell us what you need, we are so many that with a beer for each one we can buy what u need. This is the community spirit we love, isnt it? on other OS ecosystem we would have had to pay for apps, right? so where's the problem if we offer a little money for you work?

good luck for you job, though, so sad to see a talented guy in such a bad economical situation

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

Well, note, that you're not asking for anything; we're offering. Besides, it seems only fair, considering we've been using for free the software you put so much effort in.

I suggest we collect some cash for the PC components and send it to you. Perhaps, indeed, someone like HtheB could act as collection point and pass the whole amount on to you, thereby avoiding administrative charges for multiple transactions.

Getting you a new phone would take some more thought, but I don't see why we should not be able to manage it. Got a new Jolla just a few weeks ago, so they are shipping again.

Just let us know what would be the best way to help you. You helped us already.

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

where's the crowdfunding link? I'll happily chip in 20 quid

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

i guest HtheB would be the one to open it,so we can donate to him and then he could give all the money/product to cep

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

@hrbani suggested (thanks) that I sell one of my N9's.
Come on. Its a perfect condition. Black. 64G device ? Are you kidding me. Sell? No f...... way.

I will give it to our beloved dev :)

Whats the best way to get it there ?

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

The problem is that with fundraising websites, they take like 5% of the money and PayPal also can take like 3%.

So the best idea is to donate to CepiPerez directly.
I'll ask CepiPerez if he could make a rule in his gmail that if a donation comes, it'll forward the email notification to my own email. So I could make a new thread and will keep updating the thread with the donations made so far (including names + amount if desired by the person)

That is the most logical way to prevent money loss with those fundraising websites :(

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

Ok, the cheapest way to acquire a Jolla Phone should be here in Forum.

I am throwing 40€ into the ring, either to acquire this one from @noobismall or anotherone someone else may offer!

Where do we note confirmed donation intentions so we know when it is enough to buy Hardware and Phone and then send our individual donations to someone collectively??

Edit: Asked noobismall via pm if his phone is still avail. lets see.

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

nieldk we want to make a gift all together, your offer wont stop us ahahaha. if you want we can pay to you that device for a friendly price.otherwise you are free to give that to him,but we will go foward straightly.

Re: Good bye Sailfish
 

He still need a PC. So any offer besides my N9 is still in question.
This is not a competition. This is to keep the best devs working. Nothing more, nothing less. Its my way of appreciation on how many of you helped me.
