Should it ever be confirmed that Harmattan is not going to be made available for the N900 I would urge the Community Council to resign en mass. Everyone should unsubscribe from the mailing lists. Bugzilla accounts should be deleted.


The purpose of filing bugs, and being involved in this community is, if we're honest, mainly selfish as we want to see the products we already own improve. So it really, really sucks to spend all our time finding and filing bugs only to discover that in order to obtain any kind of resolution we need to purchase yet another device costing several hundred pounds/dollars/euros.

Harmattan must be made available for the N900, forcing owners to buy a new device with each OS release is simply the fastest way to alienate customers. And I can't see content partners being too happy about it either.

* Obviously some bugs will be fixed for the current device, but many others never are, and enhancements are can be forgotten.
How about OUR elected council members stand up and make our statement heard. I think the only thing Nokia are going to reply to is the patter of feet leaving the Maemo Open source door. If ,and that is a big if, Nokia eventually officially announce non compatibility for Maemo 6 and the N900 we as their Beta Testers should show them we will not stand for it. Why should we be non paid, non appreciated, non informed and non listened to Bug fixers, App writers and indeed customer relation managers. The majority of new personel on here from Sep last year onwards only did so after hearing about the Flagship device Nokia was releasing. The amount of times a thread has been answered with the time old "Next firmware release", "Be patient and Nokia will announce" and the best one "It'll be fixed in Harmattan". This device cost alot of money and indeed will be some peoples main phone for the next 2 years. To stop supporting it after only 1(ONE) month is not only rediculous but god damn insulting.

Anyway just my 2 cents....
