[SailfishDevel] Introducing the Jolla Tablet Developer Device loan program (Pilot)
Ahoy, Here's text version from today's blog post about Tablet Develor Device Loan Program Pilot, you can check full version from: https://blog.jolla.com/jolla-tablet-developer-device-loan-program-starting-soon/ Jolla Tablet Developer Device loan program starting soon From the launch of Jolla smartphpone, to the opening of Jolla Harbour [0] (accepting apps to Jolla Store), to the recent introduction of the Jolla tablet [1], our community members have asked for a Developer Program they can participate in. This demand for a Developer Program certainly did not go unnoticed! Already about a year ago, we introduced the community beta (cbeta) group as an endeavor to collect feedback from our community. We take this opportunity to thank our cbeta members for making this a success by giving us honest feedback on how each release candidate is perceived! In addition we've been paving the road for a smoother developer experience every step of the way. Some of our efforts have included: accepting more APIs for Harbour, regular Sailfish OS and open source collaboration meetings, renewing Sailfish OS portal at sailfishos.org [2], and also bringing the missing Silica documentation [3] back. Introducing the Jolla Tablet Developer Device loan program We are now ready to take the next step in our Developer Program, and pilot a developer program for the Jolla Tablet! We have decided to make the pilot phase invite-only, to keep the program focused and manageable as we start it off. We aim for an Unlike Developer Program, fitting the unique needs of our community. The developers who will be getting their personal invitations within the next few weeks are hand-picked based on their technical contributions to Sailfish OS. These are active community members (including current cbeta members), and we trust that they will provide appropriate feedback during the pilot to serve the program expansion in the future. What we are piloting now is the Jolla Tablet Developer Device loan program. Within the program we will ship a number of loan devices to selected developers by the end of June, along with early access SDK and tablet Software Release(s). As the SDK and tablet software releases aren't public yet, the devices and software will be given out for selected developers under a common Product Loan Agreement (PLA). In return, we expect feedback in the form of failure reports and suggestions for better process. We are taking this step by step, so please be patient. We will see how it goes and evaluate what else we can provide or what is needed from the developer community. If you do not receive an invitation for the program pilot, please do not worry and bear with us for a little longer. We will share info about future opportunities to join the Developer Program as it grows.

Re: [SailfishDevel] Introducing the Jolla Tablet Developer Device loan program (Pilot)
As for the timing, Well, yes, I suppose tablet specific programs will start coming out in earnest next fall. But if as I think most devepers are programming their apps as a hobby or a side work, I doubt this will slow them down much. I expect to be able to work on my application a bit more (or rather, a bit! I have not been very active I am afraid). What I find a bit puzzling is the availability of the SDK -- What is the reason to restrict it so much? I understand it is not to be used for programs to release for the current Sailfish/phone, but letting people try out their programs in an emulator could mean a few more applications running correctly on day T-day one. Just labelling the SDK as beta and warning that things are subject to change should be enough to keep things under control. What am I mising?

Re: [SailfishDevel] Introducing the Jolla Tablet Developer Device loan program (Pilot)
As many other of us I backed the tablet, and now I'm curious if the early access to the SDK will be limited to the developer in the program or will be opened up to every one? I will like to have the ability to check and port my apps to the new devices before it will be in the hand of the many backers, and as the delivery should be in July having the SDK in June seems good even if we have to wait the tablet outside the developer program.

And The First Ones, who supported Jolla from their first days? My Jolla was stolen recently and having a dev device would be nice to be able to continue supporting my app on Sailfish OS.

Seems this needs a little bit of explanation. Plan was to ship an 'early SDK' (for the developer program) just with a build target, without any 'tablet emulator' (we are not sure, that we get that working till then). So our thinking was that it does not make a lot of sense if you can build the software for the tablet, but don't have any target to try it out. So this led to a wording in the announcement text, which might give the impression that this SDK is exclusive just for the participants of the developer program. It's more that we don't think it's very useful for others. It's very likely that already this 'early SDK' already can be downloaded by anybody. And the plan is, as soon we have an SDK which also contains a 'tablet emulator' and works, we will make it public available for all, so you can start porting your apps. This might be already fall together with the start of the developer program, or be a little later. Sorry for any confusion and I hope this explains it. thanks and best regards Reto I will like to have the ability to check and port my apps to the new devices before it will be in the hand of the many backers, and as the delivery should be in July having the SDK in June seems good even if we have to wait the tablet outside the developer program.

Thanks Iekku, but i mean if developers who baked tabled on indiegogo can early access sdk and other goods the same way as it will be available for developers who will receive loan devices? 29.05.2015 15:18, Iekku Pylkka пишет: Device will be loan device unlike backed up devices.

Introducing the Jolla Tablet Developer Device loan program We are now ready to take the next step in our Developer Program, and pilot a developer program for the Jolla Tablet! We have decided to make the pilot phase invite-only, to keep the program focused and manageable as we start it off. We aim for an Unlike Developer Program, fitting the unique needs of our community. The developers who will be getting their personal invitations within the next few weeks are hand-picked based on their technical contributions to Sailfish OS. These are active community members (including current cbeta members), and we trust that they will provide appropriate feedback during the pilot to serve the program expansion in the future. What we are piloting now is the Jolla Tablet Developer Device loan program. Within the program we will ship a number of loan devices to selected developers by the end of June, along with early access SDK and tablet Software Release(s). As the SDK and tablet software releases aren’t public yet, the devices and software will be given out for selected developers under a common Product Loan Agreement (PLA). In return, we expect feedback in the form of failure reports and suggestions for better process. We are taking this step by step, so please be patient. We will see how it goes and evaluate what else we can provide or what is needed from the developer community. If you do not receive an invitation for the program pilot, please do not worry and bear with us for a little longer. We will share info about future opportunities to join the Developer Program as it grows.

Re: [SailfishDevel] Introducing the Jolla Tablet Developer Device loan program (Pilot)
Reto, thank you for the clarification. Stated like you did, I agree, there is not much use in the SDK without the tablet. But I did not expect this to be a problem -- all in all, the emulator just runs SailfishOS in a virtual machine, with a specific screen aspect ratio. I thought you would supply whatever working version of SailfishOS 2 with a different screen layout. The current emulator already runs x586 code, so I did not think there would complications. Best regards, Luciano On Fri, May 29, 2015 at 1:55 PM, Reto Zingg reto.zi...@jolla.com wrote: Hi, On 29.05.2015 11:14, Michele Tameni wrote: As many other of us I backed the tablet, and now I'm curious if the early access to the SDK will be limited to the developer in the program or will be opened up to every one? Seems this needs a little bit of explanation. Plan was to ship an 'early SDK' (for the developer program) just with a build target, without any 'tablet emulator' (we are not sure, that we get that working till then). So our thinking was that it does not make a lot of sense if you can build the software for the tablet, but don't have any target to try it out. So this led to a wording in the announcement text, which might give the impression that this SDK is exclusive just for the participants of the developer program. It's more that we don't think it's very useful for others. It's very likely that already this 'early SDK' already can be downloaded by anybody. And the plan is, as soon we have an SDK which also contains a 'tablet emulator' and works, we will make it public available for all, so you can start porting your apps. This might be already fall together with the start of the developer program, or be a little later. Sorry for any confusion and I hope this explains it. thanks and best regards Reto I will like to have the ability to check and port my apps to the new devices before it will be in the hand of the many backers, and as the delivery should be in July having the SDK in June seems good even if we have to wait the tablet outside the developer program.
