Re: Rostelecom investment in Jolla

Malebo, from the French community, shared another article (http://jollafr.org/photos-du-stand-j...mment-204445):
https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/3572050

Here is an excerpt from google translate :

Quote:

From January 1, 2019, all mobile office software from the register of domestic software will have to work on the mobile OS from the same registry, it follows from a government decree published on the Internet portal of legal information. Now the only such operating system is Sailfish Mobile OS Rus, entered in the register in September 2016. The register contains a list of Russian software, for which preferences are provided for state and municipal purchases.

So they are taking it seriously !

Did I understand it right; this is a white-listed software group?
As in, apps which will be allowed/preferred (over competitive choices) to run on the SailfishOS RUS?
If that's the case it means huge entrance barriers for non-russian devs..

I did not understand it like that, but the article was translated from russian so it would be better to have someone speaking russian confirming.

Anyway, as I understand it, it is not for every app, only for apps used in state and municipal purchases. So for the "government" or "public auctions market" level.

Can somebody clarify if this is true?
If so I wonder what path Sailfish will follow from now on.

I just seen that James Noori left a comment on the blog post to answer that : https://blog.jolla.com/new-strategic...ilfish-family/

Since there has been ownership related questions, here’s some clarification:

After the investment, Rostelecom is the largest individual shareholder in the investment company Sailfish Holding Ltd. (Hong Kong) but does not own majority in Jolla Ltd. (Finland). The development of Sailfish OS has always been an international project and the company has an international shareholder base. The Sailfish family includes significant shareholders e.g. from China, and developing the company’s regional licensing strategy requires international ownership. And also, for the sake of clarity: Open Mobile Platform is not a shareholder neither in Sailfish Holding or Jolla Ltd.

Guys. Follow the money. Who do you really think running the show?

Russian have been biggest investor since 1,5 years and even some initial dudes like founders probably owning a majority share in jolla oy but they can’t do anything without money so Russians running the show.

Could be a reason why they stopped pushing refunds. :mad:

Check please!

Great image. If it was me sending the message to jolla support it would be more like: what happened with the refund program?

On a more serious note....
What’s your take on this takeover? Especially when it comes to refund but also new devices and independent OS?
