New article about Jolla in finnish http://www.tekniikkatalous.fi/ict/jo...lkalla/a833455

Somewhat slightly interesting new stuff:

-Jolla organisation has no fixed structure. They arrange new team structures every month on the basis of what needs to be done. Everyone working for Jolla has the same basic salary + plus bonuses according to how well the teams have operated. Says that this system has worked very well so far.

-Mentions Valve as an example of corporation that Jolla has taken inspiration from for management style.

-They have started hiring marketing people. Could mean something about release getting close, on the other hand maybe it doesn't.

-Price point for Jolla phone is going to be such that everyone who wants one will be able to get one. Possibly marketing BS, but my guess has been that it will be mid-price device all along anyway.

-Funding situation good. Have funding for manufacturing the first product. IIRC before they were saying only about having money for finishing the development and design of the first product.
