I'm offering feedback for Jolla's benefit. I agree Jolla people participate in certain technical FOSS processes of course. And you can get high-fives from them on Twitter if you say the right things.

But when it comes to unpleasant topics or other interactions, they as a company are pretty aloof, pretty distant. Not very unlike anyway.

There is no possibility for a company to be more open IMHO. This is a company doing business, not a boyscout club we are talking about.

There is "no possibility for a company to be more open"? You really think Jolla has reached the maximum level of openness for a company doing business - seriously?

There are plenty of startups that are far more open than Jolla is and their communities thrive because of it. I would love to see Jolla do well and currently I fear their community approach is not the best. They started with too much hype and now they've just regressed into a shell of sorts. I'd rather they'd just share more openly, I think that would serve them well.

They are free to do otherwise, of course. Just my opinion.

Still, you could be Filipp, for all I know

Sure, one could be using a Finnish speaker. But then there would have to be a Finnish speaker willing to align with those thoughts. Then again, all of you could be fk_lx just trolling me.

Mutta ettei tosiaan jäisi epäselväksi, en ole fk_lx. Jollan slikki peeärrä ei oikein uppoa tällaiseen jäyhään suomalaiseen, joka mieluummin kuulisi rehellistä suoraa puhetta.
