Ok i will explain for the benefit of Texrat why i do not always agree with Qgill, if that is at all possible and people actually understand where i am coming from.

I do not like PR talk generally because it is usually always hyped for the company to give a good impression and i feel strongly in this case that Qgil gave many false promises in his words that never came or happened hence why Maemo now is a dead project as far as Nokia is concerned, all my life i have always been straight to the point and non pretentious especially when it involves money and i feel Nokia fell foul of many things which is obviously why they are in the situation they are in now.

Maemo is the reason for this community and i have been around here long enough and argued too i might add for the cause of the community where Nokia are concerned, it has sometimes got me into deep shitt but never the less i carry on in my beliefs and wants and needs which incidentally are no different in basic terms as anyone else's and that was always the progression of Maemo and then Meego when it all kicked off.

Many things have been said by Qgil that never came off and i have in the past said that he has had the rug pulled from under him.

Respect where it is due and i give him that for his position but not the actual happenings which were not his fault, he as a person is not in my critisism but that of the way Nokia have portrayed them selves using Qgil as there spokes person, sadly it all came down in a complete shambles and i still say the same as i always did that Maemo being a linux OS could very easily have gone much further than it did but i am not the one to say why it didn't, that is for Nokia to explain officially.

I owe no apology whatsoever to Qgil as my criticism is relating to Nokia and not directed at him personally as a person.

One request to deaf ears and that is the release in full of the Maemo source code/OS to this community... once again.
