What a weekend at FOSDEM 2026! 🙌

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to meet the team, try out the Jolla Phone appearance model, and take a look at the latest progress on the community ports. The hands-on feedback on ergonomics and the excitement around the return of The Other Half really meant a lot to us.

A special thank you as well to everyone who joined the community meetup at À La Becasse. Good conversations, good company, and a shared passion for Sailfish OS. Seeing so many Birds of a Feather come together in Brussels was a great reminder of what this community is all about.

If you want to relive the moments or see more photos from FOSDEM and the meetup, we’ve collected them in this forum thread:

You are the heart of Jolla. See you at the next one. ❤️❤️❤️

A new era comes to life 💙

Today, the FW48 completed a shakedown test at Silverstone.

We added our Vivaldi Social server to the Fediverse on November 15th 2022. We are still, I believe, the only browser company that is fully behind the Fediverse. It is something we are very proud of! The Fediverse is the natural alternative to Big Tech social media, just like, IMHO, Vivaldi is the natural alternative to Big Tech browsers.
