Ask me anything about Mer though.

However, I'd like to ask one question: How would you guys like the community to look around this?

I suppose how the community will look will depend a lot on how a commercial end-product will look--will it be treated the way Maemo and MeeGo were treated? Particularly MeeGo where the MeeGo OS itself was very, very open.. but the end-product (in this case, Maemo's Harmattan--not even a true MeeGo) ends up even more closed-source based and locked-down than previous operating systems and hardware.

If it's just more of the same of what we've had from Nokia over the years, I sincerely doubt we'll see anything change in the community around such devices.
