Yep, and I may else get an opportunity to interview some of the Jolla team while I'm there.

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

That would be truly excellent! If you need help with questions you could probably grab a few from the community-questions-to-jolla-document...

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

That'd be handy! URL?

Not sure if we will get any answers before slush, if so you could maybe add follow ups, but I think if you have facetime with someone from jolla. You will be much faster and more accurate.

Good luck @Slush. I will follow your blog.

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

In the absence of a thanks button, thanks :-)

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

@Bergie, would it be possible to share a few picture of the room where they hold the event, and maybe some comments on how many people attending. Some pre event information?

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

Just noticed that the venue building is Kaaplitehdas ("Cable factory"). Used to be part of Nokia, until Nokia got out of cable business in early 90's. These days it has museums, culture, events and so forth.

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

Yes that's the place :)

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

Slush has released the schedule for the two days. This is the game plan for Jolla.

Main stage (21st)
11:15 ProductLaunch:MarcDillon(Jolla)launches SailfishOS

Event stage
21st 17:00 sailfish demo

22nd 10:00 sailfish demo

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

Is it confirmed that they won't release any concrete info on their device's hardware?

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

Nothing is confirmed or denied since jolla don't talk with a laser sharp voice. Will see if that changes after Slush.

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

So assume it's just a launch of the OS and no the device

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

Jolla's official twitter account has stated (multiple times) that there will be no hardware announcements at Slush.

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

Yes, but that can mean many things. To me it means we won't see a consumer device. But we can still get clues anyway maybe. SDK and API could give clues, how jolla demo the OS could give clues, Will they use an emulator, or some demo device. The worst thing would be if they used slides or videos. That would truly be annoying!

It's also a question who is the person behind the offical jolla account. Is that the person who decided what, how and when things should be presented? The person might not be involved in all decisions and plans on an hourly basis. Anyone knows who is running the official jolla account?

Why do we need a new way of sending messages?

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

I can't find where they actually spoke about new way of sending messages.

The source, Jollatides, is based on Digitoday story which is dated back to September 26th. Digitoday is basing their story on this: http://gigaom.com/europe/jolla-the-m...s-and-android/ . There Hurmola only says:

"We want to be the phone that handles messaging, calendars and so on in an inclusive way, so you can have concepts like the family in the device."

Old news, old misunderstandings.

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

Thats good news since I dont need a new way sending texts. Instead fix Copy paste every where, manage desktops, better mail client, more ways to config of the behaviour of the ui, better 3,5 mm jack/headphone so user can pick and choose. Arrows in keyboard, better navigation in text, Tabs in browser, be able to use flashplug in when i need it stuff like that. I JOLLA not wasting time to create inovative functions that nobady need to use, but instead creating software that works as top of the line smartphone.

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

Noob question: Will the Sailfish OS be used by some other manufacturers other than Jolla? Or will it be like Apple using iOS? My question is slightly pointing towards the openness of Sailfish too :D

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

Pro answer: Sailfish OS can be used by other manufactures as well. However as we speak we have no offical manufactures on the list. Jolla said that they plan to open similar offices in different areas of the world. but the name might not be under "sailfish".

Jolla have to prove that sailfish is a good bet for the future...lets see what jolla sails of the first version of sailfish.

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

Thanks for the quick clarification, Mr.Pro :cool:

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

As I described in some post months ago, this is how I think they should have used jolla.com until release.

Now, niantic(if you don't know it: google) has stolen the idea with some news/leads every day.

Very cool, yet very simple :D

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

what is the live streaming link for the live event?

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

Its here...http://slush.fi/schedule_livestreams2012

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

Sigh...

Anyway they said on twitter you will get advance notice to the live stream links...

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

As soon as the link pop on the interweb, you will find it in this thread.

We might even get an official leak. Lets see...

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

Your time. Don't miss it!

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldcloc...15&p1=101&ah=1

And yeah... We have a countdown!

http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown...20main%20stage


T - 249552 seconds to the event :D

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

i think the needs to be a clarification abou slushevent

1. Slush is not a announcement of devices
2. Slush is more an event for startupcompanys to show what they doing.
3. There is also other companys not even related to mobile market.

its seems some people may think this event is MWC or nokia events, but its not. Probadly very small event and not many outside finland except TMO knows much about it..

so dont expect to much coming week...

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

Of course we can expect much. After all, they call it jolla launch. This is the first time jolla has the stage for real, and 3 hours in three different presentations. They have to show what jolla is all about. So far they have released a few press releases as only information to the world. Other than that nothing. Jussi has talked a little, but never really said anything, jolla twitter twitter alot, but never say anything.

So now the big day has come when jolla can tell the world what they are up to, what they trying to do and how. SDK, UI and how they planning to work with mer must be availailable. UI has been ready for months so now is the time to shine.

They must show what they going for, are the going for a iOS style, android style. Contrinue the development of swipe feature ala n9 or working on something completly new style.

do they want developers to help them with software, how to disribute software . Coming clean with this open mobile(ACL) if there is any truth in that.

Who are they working with and what's the exiting new stuff developed with Joikusoft. How will the handle maps and navigations? Maybe say a word or two about what markets they are targeting on a high level at least and comment on Jolla.com. It's time to launch and official source of information.

So I expect a lot. Not a device, but lots of information related to the software, both now and for the future, information with real weight, not just nonsense like their twitter account.

Everyone has their own expectations so please share if you feel like it.

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

True.

Just saying that its going to be very good opportunity for Jolla. It's the largest startup event in Nordics and there's tons of big investors, investment funds and investment banks from all around the world attending. Also, lots of really big media outlets are there, like Techcrunch, Wall Street Journal, GigaOm, Wired, some big Asian blogs and all Nordic tech-media. So, they are at least getting really good media coverage and hopefully some investments as well.

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

Ah I was duped for the second time :eek:

This poll was promoted here a few months ago and that time too I couldn't vote because some nutcase in the organizing team decided facebook likes were the way forward :rolleyes:

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

So you can't create an account with a closed software to support open software?

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones
 

To peeps in Finland. Live TV show about the winner (propably Jolla) of that vote @MTV3, Wendsday 20.05-21.00.

If it's in english (could be since the current CEO is an american) and Jolla wins, I'll record and upload it to Youtube.
