Thanks for your understanding.
We can find suitable hardware replacements..

Cooperate with any of following projects:
  • Gnome
  • Kde

Become part of existing distributions:
  • Debian
  • Canonical?
  • Meego

Create our own distribution.

Meego is here and mostly working. The trouble is it is a little bit closed company, since you don't get to vote there. Being community sponsored by Nokia made sense, since Nokia is one of the leading companies within meego. Now with Nokia pulled back, the role of this community will diminish. Meego is a highly corporate environment. Yes, it is true, the common developers/communities can contribute, but making/influencing decision is another thing.

Cooperation with gnome and kde might be better in long term, but at the moment it can not provide working distribution in short term.


EDIT: I've just remember we've neglected one tiny, smallish problem: FUNDING
