It's a shame that Nokia didn't take advantage of the far more technical, enthusiastic and hopeful Internet Tablet Talk crowd that formed here and the community that formed about Maemo by releasing an actual OPEN SOURCE operating system.

It's amazing what a company can achieve when it fosters true participation without deceiving their community about the potential for openness the way Nokia treated the Maemo community, customers and partners.
