Comments on: Jolla – Developers Dream http://www.jollatides.com/2013/12/02/2162/ Sun, 29 May 2016 11:57:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.0.13 By: Simo, to JollaTides http://www.jollatides.com/2013/12/02/2162/#comment-4776 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 07:55:25 +0000 http://www.jollatides.com/?p=2162#comment-4776 Agreed, and I’m gonna shout for joy and share awfully lot when Sailfish OS will be shared like any OpenSource should be – as an installable distribution. I’m already happy that Jolla phone is more open than most competitors, offering root entrance out of the box. For me it’s also ok that Jolla has included closed source inside Sailfish – that’s their own work and there lies the workers salaries and the future of the company. But everything else will hopefully be as OpenSource as ever possible. Trusting them on this.

Even the big players like Intel and AMD are offering Open Source products.

With the current climate of state sponsored spying, like the latest French legislative proposal, it is all the more crucial not to have proprietary binary blobs that may have the potential for backdoors in them.

Where’s the kernel, the open source Mer parts ? And no, I can’t accept that I should look at merproject or something else for them.

Meanwhile, let’s stick to the article – there are other forums for that, thanks.

At the moment we can’t call Saifish to be OpenSource, we can only see some signs that it might become one. Most propably it’ll include some closed code by Jolla anyway, just hopefully less than many others have their. Refer to sailfishos.org and merproject.org for more on these issues.

I enlisted, joined, funded some half year ago, and now the time is there to order, there is no support to do so. Support request give no response. This is not a nice way to treat crowdfunders.

developer mode isn’t working anymore. In the beginning it launched normally with terminal etc. Now nothing happens. Not even after booting the device. Any help?
