Sailfish OS on Shiftphones

Hi Jolla, this is one more optimistic suggestion of a colaboration partner:
I recently came accross Shiftphones (www.shiftphones.com). This seem to be a nice small German producer of mobile devices, additionally having a strong focus on sustainability - similar to Fairphone.
I liked the idea of seeing a colaboration of Jolla and Shift. Of course I have no insights about the necessary negotiation efforts and duration and/or technical obstacles prior to any agreement, but to me it at least fits in terms of mindset.
Maybe you already know or even evaluated on that topic, but I wanted to be sure you get the information at all.
You may want to read this article and have a look at wikipedia.
Thus, I wouldn't trust this company. But this was in 2016. They may have solved all "issues" in the meantime.

So it may be a potential partner.
