I said this at the beginning of the thread, but apparently it went unnoticed: This thread isn't about Nokia!

Although everybody involved here seems entirely insistent on ignoring that fact, and instead of looking at where we can improve ourselves, immediately jumps to blaming Nokia. Which just makes us look childish and silly.

In a thread that isn't about Nokia, but about seeking ways to better community involvement in community open source development, this is a bizarre ultimatum to be making. . . .

Level heads indeed.


*It seems to me this shirt/hat concept escapes the notice of a lot of people, so I'm going to try to explain it. When you're working in a position at a company like Nokia and interacting with a large community like this, sometimes things you'll be doing, you'll be doing as a Nokia representative and other times you'll be doing them not as a Nokia representative and employee, but as a 100%-pure community member (qgil is just as much a community member as you or anybody else). Thus, he's wearing his "community" shirt (or hat), and responding as if he's wearing his Nokia shirt is both unproductive and silly. It's impossible to work in a community as a Nokia employee if everything you say must be as if it came directly from Nokia.
