The printed versions was a story on a certain trip to China. I dont think that this stuff has been discussed in the blogosphere at all:

In short, Jolla is considering to be listed in NasdaqOMX Helsinki on the First North ie lightweight list. They say that they’ve had preliminary discussion with FInnish institutional investors already. a 15 percent stake will be available for new investors.
“If it looks like, that the company will sell a million phones, the value of the company is measured in some hundreds millions of Euro”, “80% of the company’s value is in Sailfish OS”, says the Director of the Board, Saarnio.
They are also considering the Honk Kong GEM stock exchange later on.
The current funding is about 10 million of which is gathered from private investors and the FInnish Tekes, a funding program of the Finnish government. (In other words, at least Jolla themselves do not have the 200 million for Sailfish. I hope it is more concrete than that they would like to have 200 million for Sailfish alliance).

Nothing really new there thouhg. The picture of Marc was also a lot more rock’n’roll than the one in LinkedIn ;)
I’ll see if I get my hands on a print someday soon so that I could translate it.
