Sailfish-based Russia-owned Aurora OS to run on Huawei phones instead of Android OS? Not the same as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_(operating_system) , at all. See https://www.company.rt.ru/press/news/d447516/ And there are rumours about Mer http://merproject.org/ being combined with Sailfish OS: https://www.opennet.ru/opennews/art.shtml?num=50454

Rumors of mer combined? I thought it happened already?

Would love to read a comment from our russian friends here!
Does the article sound like it is a repetition of rumors or is there mention of any facts in that story?

EDIT, also this one here:

Yes would be nice to have a summary of the Russian news on this subject :)

Re: Speculation or not it is being talked
 

No new facts in the article.

Ok, so there is some translation of the juicy bits in the article @deutch linked:

Re: Speculation or not it is being talked
 

Why not original Sailfish? - Ooh... Maybe Mr Putin has more political influence than Mr Niinistö?

"We pay for your Russian mobile OS, you buy our Chinese stocks, win-win", probably as simple as that. Although normal Sailfish is probably almost the same as the Russian fork, there is more to gain from a partnership where the partner can also invest in 'them' (whether that's Huawei itself or Chinese activities in general), especially considering that the meeting (logically) also explicitly discussed economic cooperation in other fields. It's all fine as long as the improvements to Aurora OS trickle back to Sailfish OS.
