I really hope that one positive thing can come out of this downsizing. Jolla has a much reduced manpower, and can't maintain everything it was holding close before. They could keep the Silica and Lipstick stuff closed - I appreciate that it's a key piece of Sailfish that they can base their licensing on to get revenue. But the apps, there's no point in holding onto them. Tip them out onto Github, let us hack about at them and submit pull requests. Surely that's the one bit we can all work together on in a common interest, and if we make them awesome and innovative then we really could start showing Sailfish off.

How we could develop together is another question though. I don't think the open sourcing it's worked that well for the browser, for instance, and I don't know why.
