Thank you for providing this article. I have to admit I found the Google translation a little hard to read. Perhaps someone could summarize some of the main points. Besides the Russian businessman that owes a 60% stake in Jolla could someone explain a little more clearly the motivation or how Jolla is being sold to the Russian government. Is it mostly due to sanctions (or potential ones) and a desire to own and control your own OS for security reasons? Does this mean that in the future Jolla is pretty much closed to the West as a possible product. Or is what is being discussed a totally separate branch of Sailfish that will be independent of Sailfish's normal development. Kind of a blackberry for the Russian government. I'm fine with that. Every country has to look after it's own interests however crazy it seems, but for me, Sailfish is the only OS that provides a real linux experience I like on a phone or tablet. Are those days over and is it time to give up on that and look elsewhere?

Personally I hope for continued development of Sailfish and further outreach to west. Proper linux distribution available on phone sold in US basically stopped after the N900. Nokia had official stores in US then. N9 was never sold in US. I got one through Singapore carrier of all places.

Ty, but i'm not a paranoia person, and i dont care who owns linkedin. I'm using linkedin, facebook, google, vkontakte and many other services and you can already find almost any of my personal data for free. I'm just never sending any private and sensitive data over public services

The question is- should i rather buy a second N9 or a N900 now ?
Seriously. The situation sucks. So many nice Russians. And Jolla has to be controlled by one of the rather-not-so-nice-ones.
EDIT: IIRC Jolla promised to make Sailfish or at least parts of it open source ? Will this ever happen ?
