Please excuse qgil for not coming with concrete official Nokia statements. There is none at this point. I could simply stay silent and wait for an official sentence whenever there is one. Instead, I pointed out to a connection few seemed to have made last Thursday: all those cuts affect maemo.org funding too.

As explained in the announcement, the timeline for the cuts is between now and the end of 2013. I personally don't expect any sudden cut now. I definitely expect we can keep the promise of the 6 month notice. Kate Alhola and myself are working for an official answer with the budget owners (while all of us must start thinking about our own future jobs as well).

I sent an email to the Council on Friday explaining basically this. If I did an additional step here before having all the questions is because *personally* I was between surprised and slightly sad seeing that very involved and qualified members of this community were still in the mood of ranting and especulation, while the most important topic for this community seemed not to be mentioned at all.

I raised that question “How will you explain maemo.org in six months?” some weeks ago, when I couldn't imagine the situation we are now. But still, the question is now more relevant than ever. And it is indeed a time to set aside your old battles, philias and phobias and focus on community collaboration.

That was in fact my motivation to post yesterday in that thread where I got _some friends_ . Look: it doesn't matter what you think qbout Nokia or about me and my job here. You are smart, your are committed and therefore you could be putting your time and energies in the thread and task more important for this community now.

Back to topic: no need to panic because as you see someone is working at the Nokia side and as you see you are getting the status update and details as soon as possible. About the details of the infrastructure and what would it take to bring it forward, Nemein knows. Henri Bergius (bergie) will be at the Qt Contributors Summit (June 21 - 23). In the meantime I expect more details about the future to be defined in the following days and weeks.
