I don't think they wanna be too much in open yet. They made it clear on Twitter that they wont "leak" any stuff.

They will have product out this year and will inform more in coming weeks, that's about it for now.

I'm part of the Jolla team, though working on Mer Core and I can't really say more than what twitter and press releases say.

Ask me anything about Mer though.

However, I'd like to ask one question: How would you guys like the community to look around this?

Some updates:

Qt Components
According to this Tweet, regular Qt Components should be part of the software stack. This should enable easy porting (or simultaneous release) of Harmattan applications.

Python & PySide support
I asked about Python support on the Jolla IRC channel. It seems that as long it works on Mer, it should be no issue. There are actually already quite a few buildable PySide RPM Mer packages on COBS.

Nemo
Might be a good starting point to prepare for Jolla due to similar architecture (Qt, Qt Components, RPM, Mer based). Nemo supports the N900, N9 and can be alse run in a virtual machine on desktop.

Tangential on both: is the Jolla OS a proper Mer Core with their bits on top, or more loosely defined in the same sense that Maemo was described as Debian-based?

I would like to see more engagement in both directions rather than the freebie mentality that Nokia cultivated. Ie, open development with external participation accepted and welcomed, open bugtrackers etc. Make me want to spend my time trying to improve the platform (and I admit that's pretty hard after all the disappointments in the last few years), and make my time spent worth it by engaging rather than ignoring.

But then again, why would Amazon trade an existing ecosystem, with apps already developed, installed user base, just for a new and unknown system?
Well, they could use Alien Dalvik / OpenMobile ACL, for which the only massive hurdle is to get users access to the Google Play Store (impossible without actual android?) or (the RIM approach) get apps re-submitted to another store like ... the Amazon App Store ... wait a minute! I might be onto something here!

Jolla bases on top of Mer, with their bits on top. Jolla participates and has been participating in Mer work for quite a while, though in stealth. Naturally if you do contributions to Mer (or when Jolla does), they're governed by the Mer governance/methods and discussed/reviewed in the open.

Open development is encouraged, but stay tuned for specifics.
