Someone just expressed that they "hope" they're able to do that... I srsly doubt Jolla thinks they'll steal attention in any impactful way via the placement of a conference. There's much more to it than that, & it'll be a long/hard slog. These "big reveals" are only a (potentially) important "jump start" to all of that. I've seen no evidence that they deliberately timed their event to be just after I/O & just before Tizen. If anything, it'd make more sense for the bigger players to do that...
