The post was made in a similar light as we're in now for those who could see the writing on the wall. It was after the introduction of combining Moblin and Maemo into MeeGo, leading to a lot of soul searching in the community. The motivation about the best place to put closed source components and openness of hardware still applies, as witnessed by it enabling both MeeGo Handset UX and Cordia.. or even others.

I don't really see your point, sorry. I think we're pretty much out of luck when it comes to budgets from Nokia. Best thing we can do is to put up porn ads or get some kind of income for the community to maintain our resources.

(Seriously though, you can get a massive dedicated server for what 50 EUR/month, can't we start pooling to keep the community servers running? http://www.leaseweb.com/en/dedicated-servers as an example)
