Reggie hosts those forums on his own server(s) and uses two "badges" (talk.maemo.org and forums.internetablettalk.com) for it. i don't think serious developer bother about the forums that much; seems more like an appendix, an outhouse, maybe? >¦-)


dada's N950 is used as a primary phone...
what do you think we can do if even NOKIA tolerates that kind of hypocrisy? the whole "taking part in the MeeGo competition" was nothing else but a stunt to get a new phone




don't throw the baby out with the bathwater...
see 1st part; forums are not that important
i think the council does a lot more then shows on this threads.
everybody needs to come to the outhouse, but only when needed, right? but...
honestly, if you weren't looking for some future for your N900, would you come to those threads?



can't do
all the IDs you listed are on my ignore list (among others)
can't see their posts alas

relax, make use of the available features, they are more then enough to keep them @ bay.
was part of the exercise yesterday too, pointing out that all that fuss about new features was absolutely useless... tried to do it constructively but even so, i think i achieve my goal ¦-)
Well Nokia did the first part by closing down on Maemo as we all know but i honestly thought this community would step in where they failed but obviously not to be sadly
And i got this weird feeling that reggie will just shut the lot down one day after he realises nothing good is becoming of this .

I also think that when the commitee had no elected members that was a sign something was clearly wrong in that no new blood to take over the old and the reason it was important at that point to try and pull something out of nowhere for this community but what has happened is a slow degeneration and less interest so no i do not agree they have done even a little in the background because it would show on this community.

I think bringing MeeGo onto this site was a bad mistake as the "rivalry" started from the offset in the differences and betrayal of Maemo.

MeeGo was pushed to the limit onhere with 2 people in particular jumping into any thread they could and hijack it with the MeeGo project throwing people completely.
A perfect example is in the thread i started the poll for Maemo to be released to this community, it can still be read today as a prime example of thread hijacking.

"don't throw the baby out with the bathwater" i honestly think the water got threw out leaving the baby to cry because Nokia took good care of that situation

All in all i just get this feeling of emptiness because the N950 is loss situation for who's benifit?, yes everyone went mad to enter the dev comp to get one but it would serve much more of a purpose if it had Maemo upgraded and polished off as the new os for it.

I am at a loss now because what i see happenieng in the MeeGo dept is the ce project coming to an abrupt halt and MeeGo if any chance at all would be in the commercial sector certainly not oss.

All that is left really is the outcome of support for the N9 and that certainly does not look good even before it hits the market place.

Will this community take on that or will it carry on with the Maemo os? anyones guess if you ask me.
