At the moment the Maemo Devices team is focused in the Maemo 5 release and any resource available jumps to Harmattan. If you need an official word I can't give it but if a recommendation is enough then I recommend you to organize yourselves and make a list somewhere with the list of things you still need from Nokia.

Who will be our hero, our champion, our SSU-foo master?

SD69, will you shoulder the burden, buckle the armour and lead the troops?

Someone should bring this up at the next sprint. Maybe we can get an eager new council member to help, too.

I will volunteer and promote, organize, etc., but I think a developer type should mentor the project. I am not a programmer and didn't even fully understand Jaffa's 5-point plan, but I did catch the part about non-developers being able to help.

Anyone interested in having a BoF session about this at the Summit? Saturday morning looks like a good time and still has two slots open.

I'm in. Is definately a project worth discussing. Also in terms of community variants of Fremantle.

Good idea, especially to get some people invvolved. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend. But I started a wiki page for Diablo community - and we can add and work on a page for software update and BoF session.

Thanks :-)

Anyone else? It doesn't look like we have enough critical mass to book a BoF session yet, but let's at least meet "unoficially" during one of the breaks. Shall we say Saturday 13:00 outside N810 (also a good opportunity to grab Jeremiah)?

Offshoot thread about opening up more portions of code is here.

BTW, something that I*think has not been said yet...

In my opinion Mer and Diablo are not necessarily two alternatives. I think it should not be difficult to build a version of Mer that includes the old libraries of Diablo and is binary compatible with Diablo and maybe even has the libraries of Fremantle only as an option. The choice Matchmox/Fvwm/whatever can be made after the installation of the OS even without restart of the OS. If the user selects Matchbox, the result would be an improved Diablo with possibility to install the software both for Diablo and Fremantle.

Although there is overlap, I believe that Mer has already dropped binary compatibility with Diablo.
