MindTrek: Marc Dillon On Stage During the Openmind Sessions
I’m not sure if many of you know, but Marc Dillon has been presenting this afternoon for the Openmind 2013 session @ Mindtrek, Tampere, Finland.
Mindtrek is an “international three-day forum about the future of tech, knowledge and media.”

Nevertheless, while Marc has now finished his session, we are starting to get a few snippets of information leaking through from the event.

Dillon Takes A ‘Selfie’ And Uses For The Onscreen Ambience.
There are quite a few ‘quotes’ coming from the event and one of the most intriguing or mysterious is the one below which we believe to be a quote from Dillon himself:
Jolla's bonus system: every one has a chip that they have to give away every month to some1 who has done a good job. Worth 100€ #mindtrek

We’re not sure what this entails exactly but it sounds like some kind of reward scheme for Jolla owners, like a kind of lottery system maybe ?
EDIT. Cybette has clarified this statement for us:
it’s basically an internal thing only for Jolla employees. We each (in the company) get a chip every month to give it to someone (in the company) we think has done a great job the preceding month. That’s the bonus system.
Anyhow, it sounds as though Marc was in his usual super inspiring form and at least Steve Wozniak who was speaking this morning for the main keynote now knows who Jolla are:
@lecklin Absolutely, hi @stevewoz!

Ironically, the photos of Marc on stage (above) were taken with the super camera phone that is the Nokia 1020…. is it my eyesight or after all the hype, do they look a little mediocre ?
Sail On!
EDIT: The middle image of Marc (in the tweet) was taken with a Lumia 900 but the other 2 large photos of Marc were taken with the Lumia 1020.

Excited to hear and see more from Jolla…
Btw, the pics are noisy… But it looks like there are very difficult conditions for taking pics, anyway 808’s pics are far less noisy and better overall Quality in my eyes :)
I think it’s just after all the hype surrounding the 1020 I was kind of expecting much better than that for some reason – especially given that I thought it had the same excellent low light capabilities like in the 920?
They make the pics from Jolla the other day look not so bad after all considering its not even supposed to be a “super” camera phone! :-) /2013/09/30/jolla-handset-night-shots-revealed/
I was not expecting jaw-dropping results from the 1020, because I knew that you can’t replace the “lack of hardware” (i.e. bigger sensor and bigger camera module/optics in the 808) – on the other hand the 1020 really is much thinner, like the (mass-)market asked for.
I hope that the camera in the Jolla is at least as good as the N9’s camera… With better low light results (and better flash).
I dunno that Jolla will have a better flash, since is a single LED against dual LED of the N9… I hope I’m wrong
regarding the bonus system: I don’t know the quote, but I would suspect that this refers to Jolla employees who can get a bonus on top ot their basic monthly salary.
Nothing to do with the Jolla device and nothing to do with customers.
Maybe someone can clarify this…
@ Casanunda – Ah yes that would make much more sense but lets wait for clarification.
Wait for the video for Marc’s explanation, but it’s basically an internal thing only for Jolla employees. We each (in the company) get a chip every month to give it to someone (in the company) we think has done a great job the preceding month. That’s the bonus system.
That reminds me it’s the monthly chip-giving time! So many people did great jobs, I can’t decide…
Hi Carol! Thanks so much for clarification – that sounds like such a refreshing way to run a company – I’ll make sure to edit. ;-)
Agreed with that Interpretation. Nothing else would make sense. As if Jolla would give every Jolla Phone User monthly a chip worth 100€.
My interpretation is different, but I may definitely be wrong. I think every Jolla user will have a “vote” to give away each month for “people who have made a great job”, which I think are external app developpers. It would be a good motivation for developpers to come feeding the new Sailfish ecosystem, even with free applications instead of paid ones. And for Jolla, this would be a relatively cheap way to make their ecosystem more attractive to developpers, which would be extremely important as they will be new on the market.
Of course it may be correct if “winners” only are awarded 100€, i.e., those who have received the most votes in the month, and not every dev that was granted a vote. It wouldn’t be that cheap if every single chip was 100€ worth. :]
Again, I might be totally wrong.
