[ Communications ] Jolla / Sailfish need a dust & new showcases to strengthen recognition
It may be good to further socialize the jolla / Sailfish difference by introducing Sailfish-driven devices more often into appealing ( e.g. creative / sustainable / social ) real-life projects and to showcase some realistic daily situations such as businesses, on the job or on the move. Make yourselves perceivable & seen beyond your current fans :) ...
Jolla sailors incl. Marc Dillon gave jolla a first face we all know - but now the advantages of independent empowerment has to be given multiple faces to make the jolla-driven empowerment, distinction & movement more perceptible & convincingly attractive on a new level - motivating even jolla's own further moves.
The point is not about (re-)celebrating jolla, the community or the people in showcases but to bring out distinctive jolla/Sailfish arguments & qualities in action which empower and help to convince a new generation of fellow sailors ( aka customers ).
Sounds like marketing and buzzwords. I don't like that. I've you want be shown on CSI, NCIS or Walking Death, you can spend money like Apple, M$ or Dell or you are really damn good and lucky.
I prefer the later one. Especially, because Jolla is already pretty good. So I upvoted ApB.

I'm not talking about TV-commercials but about real science & related events, sustainable development projects, creative engineering or university projects or "ordinary" people relying on advantages of Sailfish-driven features & empowerment. To built a wider, solid recognition. If you don't want to keep permanently asking yourself "will they still make it until tomorrow ?" you'll recognize that sense-making pricing of jolla- products & development fundings come at a tradeoff of a sufficiently large user-base. Even though jolla occupies a tiny niche like Lamborghini cars in the 1970's most of us probably won't be willing to pay for exclusiveness-pricings which will destroy the motivation & benefits of "sailing together" by the way. It once has been coined as "unlike", and that's still the approach. @hoschi thanks for your comment - I expected one of this kind but wanted to await "community digestion" for any further comments ... thus very constructive ! ;)

I constantly experience the same even though IMHO Jolla/Sailfish principally have & deserve a future. Growing & convincing beyond the "usual" community such as us here is essential.
