They are searching for someone to do that Job since June:
Hopefully there will be a (new) community manager soon.

I donāt want to tell too much, but I can say that the position of a new (additional) Community Manager has been filled (NO, not by me ;)).
Go on - tell too much! Transparency rules!
Hey all,
You guys are right - there are some questions to be answered here!
Community manager: yes, from the 1st of November there will be, for the first time in Fairphone history, a ārealā fulltime community manager position filled in our company. We obviously are all really looking forward to this person starting and of course there will be a proper introduction here around that time. That is in three weeks already, yay!
The counter: it was taken down for now for a technical reason. The counter was connected to a specific product in our shop; a Fairphone 2 with a black opaque case. Now that we have added the additional four colours, the counter does not give a representative figure of our sales anymore, since we couldnāt add up all the sales for the different color cases. So we decided to take it down for now. Iām not really sure if it will come back, but personally I do really hope so. Iāll try to do some lobbying here
@Michiel_S thanks for coming around!
I my opinions that are exatly the information which counts for ātransparencyā as a main goal of Fairphone!
And as I already suggested in direct mail contacts THIS are exatly these things, which you can post without a lot of additional work within a āmicro-blogā or ādaily newsā section at the homepage.
Besides the nice main āBlog postsā this feature would increase transparency of FP daily business for the community massively - right?
In my opinion no hard facts are neccassary there, on which the community can nail down or blame you if not reached.
Just on what you are working at the moment, why things are done like they are (like the counter etcā¦), or less important information not needing a own blog post.
This would be your chance to give wrong rumors in the community no chance
Maybe this could be a work of the now very famous new Community Manager? drum roll
Cheers, Robert
-1 : Olivier has 2 phones in his right hand, one is a FP2, the other one is an iPhone6!!
In his left hand (which we do not see) he must have 3 Samsung phones ahah
Thanks for the offer
We know there are issues that need improving on our site and shop. Weāve got digital creative partners to help in this area, but we move so quickly itās sometimes hard for all of us to keep up.
Weāre producing phones on a continuous basis! We talk about in our blog on our 15,000 goal.
āTo order the necessary components to assemble the first phones and to generate the income required to ensure continuous production, weāve set a lofty goal: We want to sell 15,000 phones by the end of September.ā
But it seems like the question is - how many phones can be made per month? That I donāt know myself. Hopefully we can answer it in a future blog.
Hey @joekafka. Iām the Online Communications Manager, formerly Community Manager, and Iāve still got a big community heart and am on the forum quite a bit. Last week I was on holiday when this discussion was going on. So Iām here now!
I understand that people want updates, and weāre working on that. Sometimes the speed of the Internet where people want answers in hours or days is too fast for me to keep up with (yes for now itās just me, no big online/social media team!).
Thanks for the suggestions. Iāll definitely pass them on to the new CM who we will introduce very soon! (He is not employed by Fairphone now so it is a bit premature to ask him to come in and introduce himself)
I understand that some people want more āmicro-blogsā or daily updates. Weāve been thinking about it for a long time now, but still trying to find the right system to tell our stories across the whole company. You can imagine itās quite some work to liaison with different teams (software, mineral sourcing, fair working conditions, e-waste, support team, operations, etc), and turn their daily/weekly work into just a tweet or paragraph size response.
Further, I personally worry that things at Fairphone change so much that it will be confusing for readers if they see one update this week and a contradicting update the next week - or if they miss one week of news. Iāll work with the new CM to think how to update the forum more, which I think is a good place for those hardcore fans who want keep up with our weekly news.

You are definitely allowed to go on vacation at some point
Personally, I dislike the expectations to respond to emails within ours, to publish blogs every day and so on. People expect you to be available 24/7, that you work all the time. The world is only one big hassle. Guys! Relax!
And thank you for your great post @joe
@anon90052001 hopefully you enjoied your vacation.
@Vinni As a consumer i like daylie Updates and Blogpost. But i think to excpect an answer or being pissed of because the answer took a while is not ok.
Soā¦ WHERE ARE THE PRODUCTION PICTURE
