I wonder how many great devs finally left Jolla we do not know about them. As Jolla is not advertising it and we do not stalk all of them to know

Maybe it's not the best thread for that.
Looks like Carsten Munk left Jolla.

CEOs/CTOs changing/leaving ? Whatever.
But stskeeps leaving ? This could certainly spell the end of Jolla...
Well, there are certainly other very bright engineers aboard and it might indeed be that Carsten just wants a change of environment for a while but I still get a bad feeling about this...

I don't want to be the one who brings more bad news, but I just noticed that Jonni Rainisto also left Jolla last month, after 2 years and 10 months of working there.
He has already started as Senior Software Specialist in Digia (Qt), so let's wish him luck in his new job!
He hasn't showed up on TMO since September, so I don't expect him to stop by and tell us more, but it seems that at the very least, we won't see his Prey on Jolla (official implementation) project come in a SailfishOS update.
EDIT: I've also been looking through LinkedIn and figured out there's a pattern of departures over the last 2 months. Now here's the cause.

More bad news, in finnish:
http://www.aamulehti.fi/Kotimaa/1195...mautetaan.html
"Jolla in financial trouble, over half of the staff will be put on leave"
Not sure if the translation is 100% correct, basically it means that over half of the staff will be forced to stay off from work and will not get their paychecks for an indefinite time.
Another source:
http://yle.fi/uutiset/aamulehti_joll...udalla/8466546
It is mentioned there that it is not sure if this will affect the Jolla Tablet deliveries or not.
Oh man...
EDIT: Here's something in english:
https://together.jolla.com/question/...ing-off-staff/
