About the focus of my work at maemo.org:

Discussion and collaboration between open source users and developers. The release, feedback, release process is something that app stores don't really give you. Here a developer knows that chances to get testers and feedback are higher (especially when something is broken).

The community support and gadget chit chat comes as a consequence of the above and adds a unique spice to this community.

Better understanding and connection with neighbor and upstream projects would help too. For instance, there are Qt developer releasing SDK and libraries for Android, maybe they could find here users willing to try and report? Or PhoneGap apps runing in Harmattan. Or...

As much as I believe in users and developers, I don't believe in 'Fremantle' (or any other attribute) users and developers. One day you change of software, hardware or.both - and you are still the same. A commu.ity invests in people, a vision and a goal. The tighter you link this to a specific product, version, etc, the higher your chances are of becoming obsolete in this fast evolving context. I'd say push all your Maemo 5 and N900 love but don't stop anybody sharing a vision, a goal, a sympathy.

I have helped in the past clarifying why Nokia does the things it does, and pointing out areas where Nokia won't put more time or resources. As much as people can get upset hearing news like these I will continue bringing them as the best and most useful thing I can do for you. This js not a perfect world, resources are limited, proprietary software is proprietary for a reason, etc.

I guess that sums it.up. As usual, I'm open to suggestions and critique for improvement.
