Revision history [back]

Dear Jolla,

it's evident from this latest sailfish [1.0.4.20] that, each new update, you implement the fixes and features that you see fit, very few of the many available community requests, and a few disappointing new developments.

It's understandable that you has a company have your own priorities, and that these may not necessarily be aligned with the requests of the community, but being that you always talk about openness, I beg of you, please, please, open-source the most of the remaining closed parts of sailfish, as soon as possible. This So that the community can work for ourselves on the things we find important, freeing you to concentrate on other things not so interesting to the community.

Please allow us to stop spreading hacks, tied to specific updates, and start actually contributing to the git repository, all together with you making this the best OS ever!

Please take a page of 2000s Google's book, and not of 2010s Google's book!

Regards

P.S. What Google always made money on is on licensing, you can have a tailored open-source license that disallows you from taking the code and selling a competitive product without paying the original authors!authors! It's not like I'm asking Jolla to release the UI has Free Software, just merely open-source! So that the community can step up. Why the UI, you ask? Because ultimately, it's what the users see everyday, it's what connects them to the system, and so it's were the bugs become most annoying! :P

EDIT:

It's been a while, and a few duplicates, is there any news on what Jolla is planning to do regarding opening up some more components, specially the ones with most bugs/feature-requests ?
