Unless you mean maemo-channels only (not whole freenode), where answer is "I have no idea". joerg was spilling bans left and right, and in the light of recent developments, he might have issued one in absentia even though I haven't been on Maemo channels for more than a year (or so) [/OT]

[half-OT]Thank you for inviting, although I'll respectfully decline. I tied to talk about Neo900 once, and got month ban on TMO just for doubting some aspects of Neo900's openness, with reason "hurting the project" (just like ban on TMO would be appropriate for hurting 3rd party project, even if I would DO so. I still wonder what idiot decided to grant moderator rights to clearly unstable person... Board fixing it up very soon, hopefully.).[half-ot]

Strictly ON-topic:

Not my version of FOSS-spirited project, not my kind of "openness" and "class" of leadership. As long as the person in question device about Neo900, I will believe that it gets released when I see it. I'm pretty sure that the conflict with GDC and half-arse "rage quit" - even if revoked later - was just a preamble to more deep problems, that *must* arise. With this person as "leader", it's just a rule of nature.

I must have been really, really insane to put my money/time/interest in project with such leadership. As well, I could book another Vivaldi tablet, wait for new p2p software from Kazaa developer, or trust windoze bitlocker encryption with that NSA leaked documents, if I ever get any

Add doubts from my previous posts, and it sums up to why i NEVER recommend Neo900 to anyone I'm wishing well. Hardware can be outdated and overpriced, but I need to at least marginally trust the issuing party.
