Hi, my name is Mark, better known as Markkyboy. I have been interested in mobile phone technology since I first got one back in 1990-something! My first experience of Admin/Moderation was with a Dutch website called www.t100.org (Original website closed along time ago, so the link is no longer associated)which was dedicated to do with the Samsung T100 flip phone). I'm currently one of the admin/managers at Jolla United Kingdom facebook page. I like to get involved as much as possible with community efforts, even though I am busy with self employment, so I can't always give masses of my time, but I always try to visit at least once a day and answer at least one question! My last mobile phone was the Nokia N9 (I loved that phone, but it was too small for my sausage fingers!,lol), so I have some experience with the file system of Jolla due to being an N9 owner. I'd be honoured to be part of J.T.C. admin team, although, I feel just as honoured to be here in the first place, admin or not! Regards, Mark

Hi!

I'm Timo and also known as @TimTTK here on Together. I really like this open community and have enjoyed been here since I joined Together on late december last year. I would like to help to make this community even better and it's also one important reason why I signed here.

I don't know so much about coding, developer stuff or computers, considering myself rather an average user when it comes to tech. However being a happy user of Jolla, I want to share my thoughts and ideas about how the using of Jolla would be even better and easier.

I might not be take part here actively all the time, but in the meantime, I will help anyway I can.

We can do this Together!

Thanks. @TimTTK

Ahoy, me hearties.

I've been in software development for 20 years, most recently real-time trading systems, and have been fortunate enough to work in environments that truly embrace the ideals of open source, so naturally a Nokia and now Jolla phone has always been my daily driver! :)

I'd like to help out on the moderation side to ensure that the quality of questions, comments and answers is as high as possible, so that this resource can be of maximum benefit to users of Jolla products, and also that members of this community can feel safe posting here without any concerns over abusive behaviour from any other member.

Regards Milhouse

Hi all,

I've only been a registered user here for 10 days but I love my Jolla and I want to see both the device and the OS flourish. I would be happy to help any way I can.

I am a very net-active person with a long background in IT (developer from 1997 to 2004 and a software tester ever since). I am a conference speaker, a co-author of the book titled "How to Reduce the Cost of Software Testing" (published by CRC Press in September 2011), and a brown belt student of the Miagi-Do School of Software Testing. Though far from being a guru, I would like to say I have some knowledge on the subject.

Due to my profession I'm guessing I would be mostly helping discover and smooth out any unexpected or unwanted behavior or design, as well as helping other users struggling with issues to find workarounds or alternative solutions while waiting for a more permanent fix.

Additionally, I could most likely help confirm/refute issues reported by other users and then either promote or close threads, respectively, to help ensure real issues get the attention they deserve while keeping the site from cluttering up with invalid bug reports.

I have operated and/or administered a multitude of forums and wikis ranging from a WoW guild's forums running on my own Linux box, through setting up and maintaining our company wiki, to moderating the discussion forums of the now-late WidSets at Nokia.

I rest my case - the decision is up to you.

Ahoy Sailors!!!!

I know I only have one question here on this site but I know I am capable to be a moderator. To be honest I don't have a Jolla yet but I do watch a lot of videos and now I could say that I already know everything about the Sailfish OS. I am also a moderator on Nokia Discussions so I already have an experience!!!

I believe that We can Do It Together especially with the support from the community. Sailors this is the start of a revolution. This is Jolla Revolution Cheers

Hi there Sailors,

another no clue about development and coding here, though I am a tech freak, have used almost all mobile OS in my life, have an eye to detail and I try to be a perfectionist. Have not been as much active as I wanted but sure spent much of my free time here just reading people's problems, solutions and suggestions. I follow the movement since the very beginning and I am at your disposal to get things done.

We do have a great forum here and sure needs a lot of attention. Let's DIT

Unlike New Year for everyone!

About myself, I'm an ex teacher, currently studying my lifetime hobby (IT). My personal interest is in logistics and databases, but I'm also interested in thermal and acoustic design of computers. Here at together I'm reading mostly AV and power consumption related questions, and this propably wouldn't change in me beeing a moderator.

As a moderator I'd contribute mostly to the help, the FAQ and the tagging system aiming for a better overall usage of together. Here are a few examples of my ideas so far. Also, I'd like to encourage people to vote more overall, maybe searching some more too, but the most importantly: to be happy about every post sent here - both the good ones and the bad ones. My point of views are usually objective, I do my best considering the future of this portal as a working platform for wide level of users. IMHO Together should serve well both the first timers (never seen Jolla, never heard of Linux) and the most experienced developers, so it's not an easy job. Trying to offer what I have on this :)

Overall, I feel that a moderator status shouldn't affect to the personal contributing on questions, answers and comments - we are here together, and each one of us is already an unlike moderator. However, the toolbox sounds interesting and it would be great to work with it for everyone's benefit. We have an unlike, common goal you know!

Hi there,

So I am probably the most unknown person here with regard to the community. I have no experience with regards to managing a forum.

But I love Jolla, I loved the N9 and N900. And mostly because of the community. And as I am not able to contribute in Code, I would love to contribute by participating as a moderator for this forum.

My name is Teun Winters. I live in Holland. My proffesion is insurance of large engineering projects. I love everything technical from buildings, machines to electronics. In the summertime I ride a motorbike which has my age, 1974 is a good year.

I would have the evenings during the week available for this. I am good in analysing problems, totaly impartial and very good in figuring out how stuf works.. finding side steps and triks to get things done.

thanks

Hi all,

I am Jukka Aaltonen or jjaone in Twitter, Jolla supporter and SailfishOS advocate ever since the days Jolla appeared in Twitter and started building the #unlike community for open mobile device and platform.

I've been involved on IT for 20+ years as SW-developer, system designer, architect and ITSM process and quality manager and have been spreading the message of opensource and Linux-based solutions in personal, business, academic and community IT environments.

In regards to mobile technoloy and communties I've been passionately supporting and promoting the alternative solutions to purely commercial and market-domination-driven closed ecosystems. All the mobile phones I've owned have been Nokia Symbian-based smart-phones and of course the Meego-based N9 and now I have the Qt/Nemo/Mer/SaiilfishOS based Jolla, which I hope will, in the future, provide an alternative and open design, platform, applications and user experience that we could enjoy and run in as-many-as-possible hardware, formfactors and devices.

In Together-forum, I've been posting questions, providing answers, commented and been involved in many discussions abt how-to best make SailfishOS feature-complete and the UX even more easy to use for all: geeks, devs and non-tech oriented users. I tend to express my views quite straightforwadly while respecting diverging notions, and I always tend to get easily enthusistic about new ideas and conceptions that could advance open techcs and #unlike communites.

I'd be glad to keep on contributing to Together-forum and being an active member of Jolla-community in the roles suggested in this question ;)

Cheers, -jukka
