Naw, an outreach program is one that fosters good ideas and helps them deliver on the Sailfish platform. Be it individual or small companies, but they'll need direction and Jolla was willing to offer that direction (to at least get them success on Sailfish). That's my read of it. It's not as much about funding whatever may come their way. It's to help those that need the assistance.

Anyawy, the deal with the Indian giant Intex is just around the corner - just in time to put €10M into Jolla to save the day. Also, having a 0.00001% is apparently a great success too - any investor should be wetting their pants to take such huge market share.

No, there's a lot of problems. And as it stands, in my humble opinion, an investor has a lot to gain from investing in Jolla, but only if they're able to understand that it's been done a certain way so far.

And that way isn't that it'll be immediately profitable but long-term, strides could be made. But from the foundation of Jolla to now, we're looking at 4 years of progress that's not really all that great of a leap in terms of sales or influence.

I hope that the great folks at Jolla survive this "death valley" and we're not seeing the death throes of Jolla. That would be a very sad thing...
