New article about Jolla in finnish http://www.tekniikkatalous.fi/ict/jo...lkalla/a833455
Somewhat slightly interesting new stuff:
-Jolla organisation has no fixed structure. They arrange new team structures every month on the basis of what needs to be done. Everyone working for Jolla has the same basic salary + plus bonuses according to how well the teams have operated. Says that this system has worked very well so far.
-Mentions Valve as an example of corporation that Jolla has taken inspiration from for management style.
-They have started hiring marketing people. Could mean something about release getting close, on the other hand maybe it doesn't.
-Price point for Jolla phone is going to be such that everyone who wants one will be able to get one. Possibly marketing BS, but my guess has been that it will be mid-price device all along anyway.
-Funding situation good. Have funding for mafacturing the first product. IIRC before they were saying only about having money for finishing the development and design of the first product.

Say.. wasn't there a site out there called InternetTabletTalk.com for general stuff like that once? You know.. before Nokia essentially turned it into a narrowly focused site for Maemo alone? Just saying.

Joke company. where is the phone?
Anyone know if the hire people on a regular contract or if it's on time of material or per project?

I already made a similar proposal for such changes along with classification of applications in this thread.
However, I didn't receive many feedback and nothing has yet been implemented.

It would be good if we could reuse some of the maemo.org infrastructure, and finally extend it:
Not just "accept" other projects, but actually make it so that the NIT are only a part of it, at the same level as other mer derivative projects, or even other mainline linux based handheld projects.
The forum sections would need a complete restructuration.
The name would need to change, as it would be too exclusive to keep maemo or Hildon in it (even if it can be managed by the hildon fundation).
InternetTabletTalk (as dan suggests) could do, but it's a bit too forum focused..

I also don't think that Hildon name is relevant anymore (as well as Maemo). They are already historic and don't really apply to the new developments (such as Mer for example).
Starting a fresh site is good, unless TMO can be thoroughly cleaned up and restructured, plus better moderated to stop pollution of threads with offtopics and trolling.
Focus on hadnsets or tablets in the name is probably not good, something like Open Devices would sound better. Or if you think it should be more about the software side, may be Open Mobile or something?

I'm still a bit sceptical whether jolla will be able to deliver a feature rich and bug free platform with its limited manpower. The N9 was kind of a mixed bag in that regard.
Certainly hope so

QT5 beta release
http://qt-project.org/wiki/Qt_5.0
^I see some wayland there
Linux is the sheeeeeat bay bee. I seen estimates on the web that it would take billions to re-engineer linux from the ground up.
Off topic:
I've decided to learn how to navigate/use linux after quitting learning unix for a brief period back in the late 90's (and perl), I'm picking back up where I left off.
I'm currrently running Debian on a 3.2ghz 6 core 64 bit customized ibuypower desktop pc having fun with WINE and Winetricks installing windows applications on debian lol. Makes me want to get a galaxy note 2 and install ubuntu on it and then wine and have a little pc I can use to create CNC tool paths.
I'm at the last 20% of my machinist class training but I decided to take a few weeks to learn Mastercam (which is a windows program) so now that I have Wine hopefully I can install Mastercam home learning edition from eapprentice.net and design parts at home after school.
I wanted to back engineer the cheapo yellow plastic cover/case I have for my N9 by measuring it and then redesign it in Mastercam to add a U shaped kickstand and then machine it out of aluminum just to see if I can do it as a class project. I was thinking of engraving QT at 20 thousands of an inch on the back with the camera hole in the center of the Q. I'll start a separate thread when I have the first attempt at reproducing the shape of the case in Mastercam.
