Future of N900
 

As we know that meego will be not released for N900 and Maemo 6 project is dead. Will there be any big big os updates in future? Of course Nokia will not update it much anyways but how about maemo community? I downloaded one week ago application called "CSSU" which isn't yet full version. Even thought it's in development stage but I have received some updates which have been very useful for me. For example latest update enabled full portrait mode. So, the question is can Maemo community make a big os update for example Maemo 6? Does anybody know when CSSU will be released as full version?

Best regards, Xictus

The future of the N900 is purely down to this community and i know a lot of people like yourself will feel the same as you do so just have to hang in there untill MeeGo gets its *** off the ground, officially nothing will be released from Nokia and as much as i moan and groan on here it is very very very slow going.

The forum is clogged to death now with almost every subject almost hidden away and i really do think it is about time for a "spring" cleanout of antiquated threads that go on and on and on.

Hah, trying to cover your tracks? :D I swear you've posted at least two other threads with exactly the same title as this.

@OP, we're all (those of use that develop for the device) trying very hard to make things better for us all, but we're limited on time/resources as we all work for free. Hopefully MeeGo DE will be ready for power users and those willing to have a less refined but more open and potentially technically better system than Maemo offers sometime in the future. This wont be the current release we're working on, but with a lot of love from those of us that are working on it, one day this can be a reality. Maybe you can help by offering some of your time? :)

All i can say is i won't hold my breath !.

Maybe someone could come up with a plan to actually raise funds to pay developers to devote more time, just a suggestion but at this rate by the time anything is substantially ready the N900 will be dead and buried ha.

Re: Future of N900
 

Why don't you try and come up with a way to raise funds for us developers? I'd be happy to devote my time to community bounties. MeeGo is shaping up really well, all we lack now is good application support. The N900 Developer Edition attempts to drive more N900 developers away from Maemo or at least try and make them work with MeeGo a bit more. I and a fair few others' will be happy to use MeeGo N900 DE as a primary device very soon. I think that speaks quite heavily to the contrary of your statement of it being a long way off.

I would love to be able to pay a team to get it to user capability but alas i am not that rich.

Sad part about it all is we only have what we have and IF a sensible UI can be put together making use of the components we have then it will be a blessing, if only we just had 512 of ram to play with as it clearly overclockes very well @1gb but the sad part is the lack of funds i am sure to get a good team going.

I and i am sure almost every N900 owner will pay for a good MeeGo OS and i do not think even that has been suggested as it will bring revenue at the end of development to user standard, how about a meager 50$ to download?, could raise quite a bit dont you think?.

Re: Future of N900
 

This is somewhat wrong on both counts - MeeGo will be released for the N900 in the form of the Developer Edition, and while the name Maemo 6 might be not be in circulation, the Maemo 5 successor project is very much alive - as announced by Nokia, will be released as a MeeGo related product later this year. Nokia might not release that one as an upgrade, but I'm confident there will be community efforts to backport as much as possible from it to N900 in some form, within the limitation of the hardware and various drivers, of course.
