SAILFISH O.S.

It is a Linux based operating system, widely known as a mobile operating system combining the

Linux kernel for a particular hardware platform use . Since it is a Linux based O.S. , so it is an open

source software and so it’s source code is freely available to anyone.

Sailfish O.S. is an envolved continuation of Linux Maemo/ MeeGo O.S. which was previously developed by the alliance of Nokia and Intel.

The Mee-Go legacy is contained in the MER core in about 80% of its code , the MER name thus expands to Meego Reconstructed.

The Mee-Go O.S. is an Linux based operating system built by Nokia N9 developers.Linux based Mee-Go O.S. was first released in september 2011 . It was the first O.S. by Nokia with Mee-Go. It did

not go much longer (sold around 5000 phones). Later on, taking the idea of Mee-Go O.S . JOLLA (mobile company , made in Finland) created its own operating system called SAILFISH.

On 7 July 2015, Jolla announced that it would spin out its hardware operations to brand new company established for this purposes and will continue focused on current activities as a developer and licensor of the Sailfish OS. Click for Next Slide

Jolla went public on 6 July 2012, announcing its intention to develop new Smartphone which utilized a gesture-oriented user interface. They named their operating system "Sailfish", which is a result of Mer and includes a gesture-based user interface developed using the Qt, QML and HTML5, as did Nokia N9 .Jolla co-operate with others to grow their application's and MeeGo ecosystem. Jolla announced on 17 September 2013 that their phone will be capable of running most Android applications, though without direct access to Google Play Store.

All Android software available from the Jolla "harbour" store were tested with a real Jolla device. Android or MeeGo or Linux software can be downloaded from any 3rd party e.g. Google store or any other source, due to Sailfish OS openness policy. From launch, this has given the devices access to a large number of applications, which was estimated above 0.5M unique software pieces at the time of the device launch.

How SAILFISH port Applications using Qt (software) , MeeGo , Unix & Linux , HTML 5 and Android ?

This is because Sailfish is Linux and use Qt and Sailfish SDK (self Development kit) is in Qt, it is possible to port

applications without significant effort, including the following sources:

* Qt (ported from other Qt-supported operating systems such as Symbian,

Maemo , MeeGo, Windows and other projects with Qt source code)* MeeGo

(because Sailfish has inherited much of the MeeGo work using the MER core)

* Unix and Linux (usually command-line applications or other UI limitations are possible, RPM

makes downloading easier)* HTML5

(using the installed Mozilla-based browser or directly the OS implementation of HTML5)

* Android (either porting to be a Sailfish-native app or with corrections needed for UI)

How Sailfish gives its best in Jolla ??

This is what makes SAILFISH UNIQUE than other O.S.

Everything is on swipe , No specific

‘home’ buttons , etc

#Open source software and so it’s

source code is available to anyone.

#MULTITASKINGThe new OS gives priority to

the applications that are currently running and

displays them on the home screen rather than the

bunch of widgets and apps.

Let’s Have a Look

#Gestures in multitasking

Sailfish provides an option to execute a

specific action without even opening them

Make run Android apps

This O.S. is originally created by Jolla.Now , other companies are also releasing Sailfish because of its unique features.
