There is place for some clarification. Decisions made last Thursday were Nokia highest management decisions. The final impacts and the schedule of these impacts are simply just not known yet.

Everything is depending decision chain from upper management to down ones responsible implementing them. So, we can't yet say that "maemo.org" will be financed by Nokia by n-months because we don't know it and our boss may not know it

You can expect that Nokia is no longer willing to invest as much money to community as it did before.

We ( I and Quim ) do our best to get as good deal to maemo-org and Qt community as possible but outcome is limited budget frame to be given us by out managers.

I hope that we can get solution where community could keep maintaining maemo.org in case Nokia is no longer willing to finance it. Issue that I don't yet know is that how much and how long Nokia will finance maemo.org.

I hope that everyone understands that we are on same side, community and all Nokia employees that have been working with Maemo/MeeGo/Qt.

I feel that situation is very sad, I have made about all of my career with OSS .
