The end of Harmattan age?
 
Quote:
Dear Nokia Developer,

With the growing business opportunities available on the Asha and Windows Phone platforms, we have been reviewing our developer content programs to see how we can maximize
our support to you, our developers. As a result of this review, we have decided to focus our support and investment in new content toward Asha and Windows Phone.
Over the next few months we will be transitioning our active developer support away from Symbian and MeeGo.

If you have Symbian and MeeGo content in the Nokia Store, it will continue to be available for download to customers, and you will continue to receive download and revenue
reports as well as payouts for downloaded content. However, starting January 1, 2014, you will no longer be able to publish any new content or update existing content for
Symbian and MeeGo.

We are very excited about the opportunities available with Asha and Windows Phone, and hope that you will bring your talents to these platforms. We believe that these changes
will help improve our ability to support you as you develop fantastic apps for your customers.

Best regards,

The Nokia Developer Team


Now the Nokia N9 owners will be left without updates and we can think that this is a end of an age. The Meego Harmattan was a incredible environment but the software is open and we can create a alternative
app store to get alive our phones. We can be alive with community efforts or then, let's be happy with Android.

Did the OpenRepos.net supply all our needs?

This wasn't supposed to happen until 2015, right?

I usually don't use the store that much. There are no new useful apps, and all I need is usually available via packages in the forum or other sites. So it won't be a major problem, but yes, the end of an era, as this will accelerate the decay of developers number in our community.

With this, Nokia is trying to force loyal developers to leave Symbian/MeeGo and go for the establishied Micro$oft platforms, I was for sure expecting something like that to happen.

Let's hope our community won't loose forces and continue with the great developing that has brought Whatsapp and many other key apps to the light.
