Do you have any response to this? Is the lack of responses to council intentional or are you under some distress at your job or something?

We don't know what happened and probably never will. I accept what X-fade said above. He even apologized (I'm not sure he had to), so of course, I accept it and we move on. He even acknowledged that appsformeego was priority, which is what I suspected (after all, who says to a girl "I like you, but there's someone else I want to spend time with" - it's awkward). These are the things that happen. I don't see that there was personal fault or animosity - just a bad situation for maemo which we have managed to extricate ourself from. Frustrating? Yes, it was. But try to take solace in what would have happened if you and I had done nothing and that has been avoided.

Matti and X-Fade were probably caught in the middle, perhaps they couldn't say so either. They are not against maemo - it's WP7 and some executives at Nokia who are.

Besides, what I really care about is that maemo was being abandoned and left to die, but now it is on the upswing with momentum and people are contributing to solving the problems we identified. I never even imagined then that QGil would come back to maemo, so it was more than expected. If people don't recognize what happened, I'm not going to spend more time that can be better used on something else.
Amen.

I'm very glad, that one of side-effects from that discussion is fixing already kernel-power issue, and if cooperation and communication is going to be so fluent as it is now (even if we argue a little, after all, there is more communication passing through, than in total last 6 months ), I also think that there is no need to talk about it anymore.

// Edit

For now, i just hope that You're (SD69) going to accept Your nomination. As You can see, it's guaranteed that we will have voting this time, and it don't seem that there is risk of you being left alone to do Council work, again.
