Welcome To All New Sailors! - New Recruits Discussions on JollaTides Community Port

JollaTides · Post edited by JollaTides at 2013-11-08 18:15:39

Welcome to all of you Jolla community guys and gals who have been
following us for the past year and a half!

We are really very excited about this new community space and
hope you will like it and will help us improve it as we go.

Moreso, we are really looking forward to sharing the first
early experiences of your 'Jolla' with you all and very much looking forward to
meeting more new sailors as we go!

The rules here are fairly obvious and applicable to real life
- that is mainly to extend love, courtesy and keep your dignity in tact -
humour is always a good antidote when rough seas prevail!

Think of this space just as an open extension of the
JollaTides blog site - a place where you guys can finally have the opportunity
to spark new conversation and keep the boat sailing when seas appear
calm.

We look forward to welcoming experienced captains and new
deckhands alike, and thank you all so much for the support you have given us
over the past year, which inspires us to keep going!

Thanks Richard and great to see you here! I think given the multitude of optimisations we've been doing lately you're lucky to have made it through the rough seas to be here! :-)

I'm sorry for all of the down times and strange 'tidal' behaviour over the last 72hrs but I can (almost) safely say that we're through the worst of it and ready to start reporting as per usual! :-)

If something still isn't quite right though, please log it in shoutbox or forum related topics and ~~my personal assistant~~... I mean: I will get back to you asap! ;-)

whatsa

Good to see this moving along...
I have been sitting on my N9 for soooooo long
(i'll just buy that ... no wait for jolla lol)

Hopefully they open this up quick and all the paid pre-orders are out soon.

Saw some references to navteq mapping and yandex as store today so if its
true its moving well.

Hey Whatsa - nice to see you here! :-)

The mapping software has now been made apparent BTW officially appello.

Iekku

Thanks for the Forum <3

JollaTides

Hey Lekku! Welcome and thank you for stopping by.

You may notice we've all got nervous anticipation going on here with equal measures of unbridled love for Jolla! Can't wait for 27th November! :-)

cybette

Hello all, Carol Chen from Jolla, a.k.a. cybette pretty much everywhere. Glad to be here and thanks JollaTides for this forum!

JollaTides

Hei Carol, it's a pleasure and it's so nice of you to pop by as I know how busy you guys have been in the lead up to Slush! :-). Now going to check out your awesome photos from Slush! Kiitos :-D

WilliePre

Hey, Great ! Jollatides is growing at a tromendous rate! <3

blitzschlag

Hey Jolla Aficionados

i've been a long time follower of meego/mer and now the sailfish OS movement. About time that a usable (with changeable Battery and stuff) and truly free (on the software side) device is done and availlable.
My A780 is due to be replaced. Can't wait...

JollaTides · Post edited by JollaTides at 2013-11-18 20:55:18

@blitzschlag

Welcome to you fellow aficionado! We are all highly anticipating here for exactly the same reasons, so you are defnitely amongst good company! :-D

'A780' - now that's a bit of a Linux classic you've got yourself there!

Eerde

Hi all,
New jolla sailor here ;)
I am from The Netherlands and hope to get my phone soon !

JollaTides

Ahoy Eerde - welcome to another Sailor from the Netherlands and make yourself at home. :-D

Did you manage to get a place in the first wave of pre-orders ?

indeed.

Never been a Fan of Mass-Market Software.

Linux Geek since 1998

JollaTides

@ blitzschlag

Neither me after years of working in jobs with expensive, buggy windows software ('95, '98, 2000), but for many small companies it was and still is a necessary evil as they just don't have the technical know-how/cash to retrain staff and deploy linux systems. Although, it must be said, Linux is very slowly catching up and that trend seems to be changing more and more in recent years.

BTW, I definitely think 'Linux Geek since 1998' should be in your signature! ;-)

blitzschlag

heh, being a avid Linux User for 15 years does not mean that i can avoid using the Evil Empires Software at work...

JollaTides

@blitzschlag

No you're right, that's going to take one serious revolution!

Obie

Hello hello Irish jolla fan ere! Looking at making sailfish apps in my freetime and figuring where to start as complete newb. Done some front end stuff but only very basic coding so on a voyage of discovery really so go easy! I'm going to try to document as I go (if I get anywhere that is) when i get the time and hope it could be useful for jolla community.

Nice to meet you alls, Obie (Y)

JollaTides

Welcome to the Community Port Obie, really nice to meet you!

There are some more experienced crew around who would probably be better equipped to help you so just take a look around and feel free to ask any questions - I'll help if I can. :-)

Good luck on your quest! :-D

Obie

Nah the pleasures all mine man been following your blog for the past year and really appreciate the hard work you put in so just trying to give soething back in a small way even tho I might not get anywhere.

Obie (Y)

simo

Hi everybody, I've been a silent follower for a month now and I feel it's time to join the crew. This has been a great site to read, and the community is more than important for Jolla in the coming days - they are facing a lot's of questions because of Beta, but instead of answering those, they should be able to focus on development. The best possible answer to all new users is to drop the Beta-sign as soon as possible :)

I loved what Pienimäki told about plans to share Sailfish to all Android users - this kind of openess is exactly what I've been looking for, and I'm eager to join a community supporting it. Sails up, we have a fast Sailfish to follow!

JollaTides

Welcome my fellow sailor Simo! :-)

It's nice to hear such refreshing statements and I'm sure we all agree here with your enthusiasm especially given that a lot of us were/are N900/N9 supporters! :-)

Hello there, UK-based sailor here who has followed the traditional path to Jolla (N95 8Gb, N900, N9). Also admin of the Jolla United Kingdom Facebook page.

It's apt that the Jolla is being posted out in December, as I'm looking forward to its arrival far more than Christmas.

Please to make all your acquaintances anyway.

andreibechet

Nice to meet you guys! Welcome

JollaTides

Welcome rated - likewise - nice to make your acquaintance and feel free to link to your FB page in your signature. :-)

Greetings to all, good to be here with like minded people! I hope to contribute as much as possible, I am busy with self employment, which eats into my 'me time' for doing forum stuff.
I'm also part of the admin team for Jolla United Kingdom Facebook page.
My Jolla is ordered and will be shipping soon, I'm just awaiting that particular email!
Regards

technicus

Welcom Mark, nice to meet you :D

JollaTides

@Markkyboy

Welcome welcome and great to see some more Sailors from the UK. :-D

Howdy, Stranger!
