Thank you for expressing your view, Philippe. Please ignore those trolls (fk_lx and his suspected multiple accounts) and bare in mind that there are many people that appreciate your work.

It never fails to amaze me how fast are people able to take something for granted. Out of all products of which I have owned (be it Nokia, HP, Lenovo), Jolla communicates the most. No, it isn't common at all, having employees come to forums to communicate and express their views or having weekly meetings with the community.

Yet some people tend to think that Jolla has some evil plan and its main part is not telling people everything.

It unfortunately happens quite often to open source projects that some people become so excited and engaged (fk_lx travelling around Europe and giving presentations about Jolla) that then when something does not go exactly according how it should be in their opinion, they put the same energy into destroying everything around them. These problems usually come when new projects are created. Not only SailfishOS, but also Ubuntu in its early days and Manjaro lately (the vandalism of AUR in Manjaro's case is surprisingly similar to the PiratePad vandalism in Jolla's case).

This problem has been around open source projects in the past and it will be here in the future, but people should remember one thing - if Jolla fails, there will be no other Linux+Wayland+Btrfs smartphone in any near future (if ever). If you have been disappointed by Jolla, move on to Android or whatever (like fk_lx did) and stop wasting your energy on throwing dirt all around.


I know that what I have just done is feeding the troll; I may be too optimistic, but I believe some people can move on and transform their hate into something creative, somewhere else.
