Ovi is outside the scope of maemo community. We don't really own or control maemo.org either. I know you probably heard that, but it was not me that said it, it was maybe here -

If you read the minutes of the last meeting, you will see I objected to Nokia and their response was "Define promised". And so you see what we're up against, my email to Nokia on the subject is below, to which they have not responded (as they have not responded to most of council's emails and requests to schedule meetings).

This is not new way of thinking to me, but I'm satisfied the maemo community has been quite patient and hope others will now see that the community should plan its future without dependence on any more goodwill from Nokia.

Hi Matti,

To address some of your questions yesterday, I've gone back and found record of the promise (from QGil I believe) where Nokia was giving council "the final word on all matters relating to maemo.org."

This was before you were appointed so it seems you were not aware of it, but it is what I had in mind and of course explains why I expected the proposal to bring Harmattan into maemo.org would be discussed with Council. I realize that this may be contrary to what you were told about the relationship between Nokia and the maemo.org Council - I would appreciate it if you could consider it and reply to Council on this point so we all have a shared understanding of how maemo.org matters will be decided moving forward.

I am interested in the Harmattan proposal and will carefully consider how we can proceed in a way to mutually benefit everyone involved. I request that you (or Niels) share details of what you want to do, including an approximate timeline, so that Council can consider it, initiate community discussion, and we can move on.
