Some proposal suggestions that can be made by Jolla:

  1. Propose to provide a Russian translation of the Sailfish developers guide / manual.
  2. Propose to help with "Internationalization and localization" of Russian apps so that they can have "global exposure".
  3. Propose to provide (free?) Jolla phones and tablets to the developers receiving grants.
  4. Propose to provide online video tutorials (in association with the Qt Company) for students.

More ideas?
