If you can't say something smart and about subject, better to remain silent.

Step out of the reality distortion field. It's over. How much profit do you think Nokia makes from the average Maemo user? We're a bunch of cheapskates who expect free stuff. Smartphone manufacturers are not interested in us. They want people who are willing to supply their credit card details and spend loads of money on pointless appz.

Focus your energy on people who care about the Maemo community (e.g. CSSU devs), not faceless corporations.

Surely Meego is a dead horse, Maemo maybe but Meego??? doesn't intel own a piece of it? Whats's the point? if we couldnt' get Nokia to give Maemo source code then the chance of getting Meego is in the negatives!?

There are 2 miilions selled N9, vs 1 million of lumia.

Anyway, why Nokia can't support WP7 and MeeGo as similar? But Wp7 supported by Microsoft, not Nokia. HTC, Samsung can use a park of OS, but nokia can not?

yes intel owns some of it and it gave up on it, now if you want a future os to support check out nemo mobile.

Re: Let's support MeeGo OS!
 
Isn't Mer project a community continuation of the corporate controlled Meego? (The name hints to it - Meego Relaunched). Corporations come and go and change moods, disregarding the community. That's not acceptable. So we can rephrase the subj - let's support Mer Core and systems derived from it.

Of course you are free to petition Nokia or whoever was involved in Meego to share something with the community (like open sourcing Harmattan components).

I agree with most of your post, but not witht his part. Only because users have high demands (in terms of technology) and/or prefer free (as in freedom) software doesn't mean they're cheapskates.

Quite on the contrary, both the N900 and the N9 are high-priced devices and hardly to be found in "plus a free N9"-contracts. So we are consumers who do pay for technology and gadgets; a lot. There may be some of us, as in every market segment, who think that €0,90 for an application is too much... but I'm certain there's not more of those people in the Maemo community than there are among iOS or Android users.

Today WP7 is primary, tomorrow Microsoft terminate partnership and Nokia will go to the pit. After tomorrow, Microsoft will buy Nokia and this will be its end. It's wrong way!

Yes, I was being flippant. But, my point was that that's how corporations see us. I'm sure the profit margins on these devices are not enough to make the investment worth it (else they would continue). The manufacturers want a constant revenue stream after the device is sold, which most of us are not willing to provide.

Why do you care so much about Nokia? Fvck 'em. They made their own bed. It's time for them to lie in it. Go and place your pre-order for a Spark, or buy an Android device if your that way inclined. My sympathies go only to those factory workers who (build quality aside) had no impact on the overall quality of Nokia's products, and certainly no input in decision-making. Many of them have lost their jobs as a result of Nokia's managerial incompetence.

I like MeeGo OS. Not Nokia, but they a one piece.

A number of users and enthusiasts demand from the Nokia the further MeeGo support and N9 successors development. They expres those expectations and encourage to support them in form of petitions, e-mails, articles, blogs and similar internet actions [26]. Their efforts are hoped to be the more efficient when the more mass and combined.
So determining, yeah :)

Just one more fact about Nokia N9. Unlike this? Just don't sign.

I was referring to the preceding paragraph, regarding sales of devices. However, since you mention it, the paragraph you quote also mentions 'e-mails, articles, blogs and similar internet actions', yet provides no sources. I guess if I write a blog post that says Lumia is great (not that I would), I can claim that there is widespread support for Lumia on the interwebz.

Re: Let's support MeeGo OS!
 
hi I may be naive but if there are enough shareholders that want nokia to change it's strategy (again) why not putting the pressure on them too ?
who are them ? what do they want ? I bet there are other pple who likes ms products ... who to believe then ?

and does it worth to take the powerback to users ?

I never believed in online petition. but welcome to prove me i am wrong

I am still waiting for the amazing meltemi project and upcoming qt platforms ...
