maemo.org - Talk - Jolla Tablet Refunds (latest developments)

Is Jolla involved with Nokias new announcement regarding they will start producing phones "soon" :P

ROTFL, why on earth do they think they can come back on mobile market.

And no ofcourse it will not be SFOS. It will just be some random Android garbage.

Can I say 'No' without a mob with pitch forks?

That sounds harsh, and I've re-typed this a few times, but I'm not convinced Jolla are good parents for Sailfish. Sailfish needs nourishing not a diet of gruel.

I would imagine trying to convince excellent technical staff to join a company so understaffed and so under funded with recent 'death valleys' would be extremely challenging. If I was an applicant I'd be asking more questions than I was being asked.

I would say many FOSS/Linux people is not that money hungry. Or maybe I am wrong?

However it seems to risky start work at Jolla if you already have a work.

If I had more Qt skills and better in english :mad: and was out of job (or sick of my current position) I may have take this chance, even if it bit high risk.

As well as Jolla is based on FOSS and some parts are open - they still are not FOSS, thus it should be not FOSS/Linux guys but as Jolla says "blah blah open blah blah open open blah blah unlike"
