You do not apply for devices, but they choose people by themselves as i understand.

Buuuu...
Jolla acting more like a sect...why open option for devs?

Whats next? First rule of jolla tablet program... they are not allowed to talk about it?

I might be wrong, but this is what I got from there blog, you can as well send them email(mentioned in their post) to try your luck.

And yes, closed groups are hype, harder to get in - more hype

Good that you can apply. Hate closed/elite programs. You, you, you but not you.

Congratulations Dave, you finally grokked it! With only one mistake. Judging by all other evidence, they are not allowed to talk about anything!

Grok Alert!

It's finally june! The magic month when the first tablets will be shipped to endusers (read: selected devs) But still expect nice reviews by the end of the month. Looking good!

you are sure? not end july?

Yes, read the last blog post from jolla. But for most of us, end of july.

One of active here on tmo and OR members of the community tweeted the exact numbers one would need to manually download latest versions of packages, don't believe he had any password/credentials needed (and the quote from jolla would suggest that even harder). If you know how to deal with that AND accept the possibility of bricking your jolla, go ahead, hope this post was undetailed enough to not be responsible for any damage

Ah, you mean those ssu commands? Yes, I've used them to upgrade to 1.1.4.x initially and now to 1.1.6.x Thought you meant those credentials.
