In the 3 years I have been working at Nokia I have contributed to at least 3 GREAT news: (by chronological order) - Qt going LGPL - Maemo 5 launch - MeeGo MeeGo is the best news of all of them, since it contains the implications of the other 2. About commitment, the MeeGo setting implies a much higher commitment from Nokia: targeting explicitly Nokia's high end devices, co-founding with Intel, under the auspices of the Linux Foundation, more corporate partners to come, many ingredients to expect OSS projects and contributors to come... And Maemo lovers should feel much better with the MeeGo news. In the short term you will benefit from a much more attractive developer offering. In the long run you are hitting the point yourself: MeeGo sounds to me much more fit to succeed that a lone Maemo could aim. Not true. In terms of application developers any announcement done relative to Maemo 6 is equally valid for MeeGo. With Maemo 6 we have been always been clear pushing Qt and also Web Runtime. This is the very same deal for MeeGo, wit the difference that now they will be able to target not only Nokia handsets but also Intel/Atom based devices and whatever MeeGo devices will be announced in the future. And Symbian, but this was also explained already in the context of Maemo 6. And yes, today Harmattan/MeeGo are still not very clear for application developers. But there is not even an alpha SDK, which is the clearest signal for them. In the meantime Qt 4.6 and the Qt development tools are comming as officially supported to Maemo 5, and we are telling them clearly that this is the best path to reach Harmattan/MeeGo. Of course we can tell. The future is MeeGo. Harmattan is a bit in between waters but will offer the MeeGo API, which is what matters to most developers. After that pure MeeGo will come to Nokia. No Maemo 6,7,8. What is the uncertainty? Where can I find the logs or the records to help clarifying? The average Maemo core developer (working for Nokia) got to know about MeeGo just a little before the rest of you so don't expect all the answers from all of them right now. MeeGo is fundamentally an open project and most of those developers have access to the same information you can get. Some of us are dealing directly with the bootstrapping process, trying to push outside all the things that need to go out from the Intel/Nokia offices. It's taking some time but we are pushing this as priority number 1. I see it making it mainstream! Who bets an ice cream? I love ice cream and I want to win lots!!! Ohh.. wait.. this wouldn't be fair since actually I have insider information. Still, even without ice cream please remember this bet. :P
