I'd rather see them making a site and official communication channel, instead of twitting such stuff.

Not really it does not matter where they start from, China or America as long as it allows them to properly start up and gain market share. I think it's obvious we'll be able to acquire Jolla mobiles here in Europe

Replacing Jussa with another one as CEO maybe a good move. CEO has to be very detail oriented and get the stuff done. Dreamers are not good at CEO function, so I am happy to see that they are realizing the need for better leadership. If Jussa was in charge of Harmattan, he executed poorly. But the concepts are dreamlike, and that is perhaps a better position for him. He has actually been demoted in this shuffle.

Not really, no. Also, his name is Jussi, not Jussa.

I hope that's the case and they haven't been roped into a deal with Nokia to neglect the Western markets so they can can get a foothold with their Wincrap.

If you go from CEO to member of the board, it is usually a demotion in the sense that you are not as active in the day to day operations. that is how majority of companies operate.

Jussi got them awareness, now Jolla need to deliver a product for which Marc has been working on according to the statement so its the right move...It would be a demotion if he was assigned onto the same Board for the same thing for which he was CEO for but in this case he is handing the reigns to Jolla per se and taking over a position in the Board that will steer Sailfish OS...

Remember Sailfish OS will be funded by an alliance that Jussi helped charm into formation in the first place so it is only apt he ends up in the Board of Sailfish OS and remain slightly neutral towards the other partners of the alliance instead of staying on as CEO and risking damaging his credibility if/when Jolla and the alliance disagree on certain matters (this disagreement can be of any form and face it; disagreements always occur)...

So in short, not a demotion but a smart move by Jolla...
