The full log I read yesterday. And I got it this way that Silica UI is an asset and for that Jolla won't open it (maybe yet). As customer it sucks! SailfishOS is far away from be finished, and they could need every possible help.

I stopped using Apple products and switched back to GNU/Linux on the Desktop and Jolla as Phone - without Alien Dalvik(that makes it nonsense switch to Jolla/SailfishOS in my opinion). I was looking control over my devices, looking for open source. The Website of Jolla and other Websites let me think that Jolla is completely open source at least from the OS upwards. The first days I was really pissed off that I purchased something half-open for almost 400€. For me it's really hard to use Jolla in daily use - but I continue to do, also with the target to do my part and make things I miss, better. In comparison I used my phone before between 2-5 hours daily, now let it be 1/2 hour mostly because it's a pain to use email/browser and there is no messenger and video-telephony. I used a lot of comfort of Apple before, and I miss it hardly.

Tomorrow I will begin to develop TextSecure native for SailfishOS (I developed before iOS-Apps), so I invested in books to switch to c++/qt/Silica and I will invest approximately 4-6 hours a workday to make it happen. The main target is to integrate it in the end in the Message-App - which is today not possible like it looks for me. My decision is freedom over comfort, but I will do my best to get the comfort back. When I see what is the problem with SIP integration on Jolla, seems like that a mayor problem is the integration in the Phonebook-App because it's not open. Where my biggest pains: No secure messaging, no video-telephony, browser without swipes is terrible, email-client is very rudimentary and without gpg (okay before I had the same problem to be honest - but this don't make it better). There are much more, but this are the biggest things I want to have solved on my phone. But for a lot things it's necessary to have the source.

I personally not an FOSS fanatic, even I think is a good thing and a good attitude of the FOSS folks. For me it would be okay if I can see the source for my device and able to compile stuff I want to change on my device. Which gives me also the ability to support the vendor of the device to improve things they have no time for it, and at the and send them a patch. If the vendor like he can include the improvement or let it be. I think the development of Jolla could be really faster this way. For my it would already be okay, let's take Silica as main example, when Jolla make a license witch allow the customer to get/read/modify/compile the source on there own device and allow to share this modified source only with source and only with other customers and Jolla - nothing more. So they don't need to fear a fork, neither a other company can steel there IP.

BUT, I think it's also in the interest of Jolla to open it up, maybe GPL v3 because I think it's not only me willing to pay for it, to support Jolla on it. Let's be honest, I think almost 400€ for a Jolla last month was a lot, but I would be also willing to pay for the tablet 400€ if it is open source. I perked on Tablet even I was not 100% sure if I will continue with Jolla because it's only half open, but on the website a other time (before, now it was changed because of the last meeting) it looked like Sailfish will be on the end 100% open source. And it made me another time angry! After the answer the answer from Jolla of "[Request] Please don't use crowdfunded money to pay for extra patent licenses!" I got new hope that the small boat will go the right direction.

At least I want to say that not everything about Jolla is bad, Jolla and SailfishOS is great, but still in the beginning. But when Jolla want really TOGETHER and PEOPLE POWERED that there is no other way then open source. And much more important: DON'T TRICK ON PEOPLE - don't make statements which create expectations which will not be fulfilled. That make people feel disappointed, angry and betrayed. Let people be part of your universe, because you can do it better then Microsoft, Apple, Google, LG, Samsung, Sony....

Find with the community ways to make business truly open (source), because you will make a better place the people also be willing to help you. I for my part can promise you if Jolla goes completely open source, I will by every device they will bring out, and when the products really ready to compete (then Jolla/SailfishOS will win anyway), then I will also invite people in my surrounding they don't care about their privacy and freedom to join Jolla.

Make a statement, let the world see what means to be #unlike! And let the community blow in the sails of the small Jolla boat :)

PS: I will be present on the meeting
