U.S. election and Sailfish OS future [not a question]
It might not be the right place to discuss, but with Jolla and the russian connection, what do you think will the new president elect mean to Sailfish OS development? Do you think it will bring new life because more people will want a real alternative to a U.S. centric phone?
I don't understand what you are implying here. Do you think that more people will shun phones by US companies as a form of sabotage? Or because surveillance under Trump will be higher than with Obama? Or some other reason that I don't understand?

juiceme ( 2016-11-19 11:19:40 +0200 )editthe US is likely the most promising sailfish market, especially with revelations of NSA data collection on foreigners and Americans tunneling abroad. as the NSA gets more determined under new republican leadership so will coders and developers to make there job as difficult as possible. While currently only Germany and Russia present a large Jolla Market that might change through the new Jolla Licensing busjness model. So its somewhat independant of what governments do.
