Those unfamiliar with FOSS will think so.

Yes, but you need to understand that their objection is not due to the monetary value. It goes against the soul of FOSS (not to mention it wouldn't make sense for practical reasons.)

Some may consider your blatant ignorance to FOSS as a direct attack to the core of this community.
Problem here is many people do not understand the difference between a properly organised community that takes a lot of time and effort, these kind of situations do NOT come free and if they do people have limits to how much time they will actually devote to running a community and the very reason i said council members should be paid for there work, this way they will devote time and energy to the running of a FOSS community.

It is the backbone to any community and this community has failed miserably because the team members have limits to how much time and effort they will devote to the running of the community itself.

That and Nokia pulling it's funding will finish this community for sure unless TIME and ENERGY is devoted.

Servers cost money and i do not see ANYTHING concrete to gain the kind of storage space this community needs that will be FREE !.

Get to the basics and start from scratch, the very first thing that needs to happen is server space and if people on here think they will get that free then i feel sorry for them unless they can come up with a "donor", it will never happen.

Now ask the question again... "Some may consider your blatant ignorance to FOSS as a direct attack to the core of this community".

The "CORE" of this community is provided by Nokia and now that it has been stated Nokia will take that away we have this thread titled "The End is Coming: What do we do next?".

The running of any community takes time and effort so how many times do i actually have to repeat myself to people who do not understand how to run a community without such problems that we have about Nokia.

People are just being greedy and want everything for nothing so it is time to be realistic and you will no way get realism from people who only want free free free.

The concept of FOSS is seperate from the team that are actually running the community structure behind it.
