Let's see if I understand the question - you're wondering why I haven't done anything to explore and fix Jolla with what I'm talking about here.

Who says I didn't?

It's important to take a distinction between Jolla and SailfishOS "companies" and two different paths.

SailfishOS has a certain path forward; where it matters that it's a full GNU/Linux system, to be properly technologically independent of Android. With BRICS countries, vendors unhappy about Google hitting them with MADA agreements, people wanting a GNU/Linux mobile system etc. That has it's own set of volume. There's no real innovation in a mobile phone system today - it's all catch-up, the market is screwed up. It needs disruption - the business model in mobile phone market is essentially to steal your attention, addict you, direct the money of your wallet and let you consume content. I don't believe in that business model.

Jolla has to me represented being the brand of people powered, privacy and personalizable. While we've had our failings. And that direction would be more free to do what's right for those goals, including doing something enabling great ideas. There's ample potential, well, at least until things started going up in flames, which was never the plan, to still have Jolla brand represent that. But SailfishOS took priority for most of time, to keep the development sustainable. Software is super expensive to develop.

I resigned earlier this month to become my own company again, while being able to support both Jolla and SailfishOS agendas; with my primary focus on Jolla angle (did anybody notice I was at Slush?) and taking that further (naturally, that may be complicated today) And also be able to push crazy open source projects without it being connected with a corporate agenda.

It's clear that whatever comes next and is disruptive software, has to be decentralized, made by the people, for the people, proper open source. And has to be sustainable. Hope to talk more about this as it emerges.

Honest enough for you?
