[Not a question] Sailfish OS is now the only accepted mobile OS for new government and state owned phones acquisitions in Russia

thanks for the source

"and confirms there are currently no plans for Intex to do another Sailfish device — hence Jolla’s pivot of focus to b2b2b and b2b2g licensing partnerships."

And "concedes there is no mass market for Sailfish" .

You create a market Mr Saarnio. And yes it is going to be a hell of a job to make it massive. But you have a community of enthusiasts that will spread the word of the awesomeness of SFOS once we have something that showcases its awesomeness instead of half assed low spec HW. :/

may i get different point of view? i don't know techcrunch (just by name). how serious they are normally?

The funny thing however is the timing; I cant recall Jolla being actively present at slush this year?

honestly this condition would require to be more open,almost all. not right now,but in time. otherwise it could start to be rightly souspicius. since now someone could say is it not (at least economically) independent anymore. it is not cause it is russia,it could be america or bangladesh would be the same for me.

@itdoesntmatt you are correct; but with money comes responsibility. I guess it'll depend how much the investor sees it fit to have an open system.

sorry i beg to be more cautious with it. that told i find it a little bit naive (don't know exactly what you think). we may do things opensource, doesn't avoid that it could be misused (e.g. google) before the eyes of every one. that is clear that all people could then know what happened behind, but just if they are able to interpret the code. Just less than 1% of the human could do work of Source code understanding, and take time to do it, and the other should believe then or not. And do the best of it. For me opensource is no a guaranty of security. But that some one in the community may have more understanding on how it works, and where could be the leak. but cannot guaranty on how could some one bad could misuse it. Because this one may see the leak too for using it. We know that actually usa and russia are strongly politically engaged. Then no opensource may avoid a usage which is not correct with our understanding.

Has SFOS ever been "as open as possible"? I don't think so.

HAHAHA - funny ^^

I have been working for years on my e-shock TOH. Finally I am going to see customers for it!

pff you've seen to much james bond.
you should see more oss117 or bruce lee things. with mortal-cry sound maybe, or joke to die by laughing... could make the job too

i'm interested for an hypnosis toh, and an other one for universal car controling.

are you mad??? he will just accept 100% russian!!!!

Upvoted for the immense irony!

A Jolla CCCP, you mean?

Putin is not using any cell phones! See here Would be a good thing to follow for any leader in the world (as long as they aren't controlled by US anyway)

LoL I simply don't believe that.
