I chose to ignore your comment about discounting the thanks people have given me as well, that was genuinely spiteful and it was a dishonest distraction from my comment and question about how Nokia supports the community. If Nokia makes statements about openness and support to their Maemo/MeeGo/etc community, why isn't it important to remind them about their own statements? More importantly, why is such resistance acceptable to an open community? Isn't the charter of the Maemo council to open communications with Nokia on behalf of the community?

I understand there has been much done despite Nokia's lack of support--but there's also been a lot of talent and good people lost to it as well.
