Of course I would never expect that Nokia should divulge trade secrets or other items from which it derives competitive value.

But on the other hand, it needs to pick a default method of customer and especially community engagement. As I've said before, overall it's "start closed and maybe open a bit under pressure". I'd personally rather see it switch to "start open and make a solid business case for shutting up about this or that".

I'm still of the opinion that electing to run its devices on open source operating systems demands a change in the face Nokia presents to the world. But that is just an opinion.



Many of us have been putting tremendous opportunity into just that. Check Meego out some time; we the community are very active. Just like here, trying to continue community support for Maemo.
Ok, but we can't control how a company that we have no equitable interest in operates... besides that wasn't the meat of my post only the opportunity to enter the thread.

The question remains:
What needs to be done in order for Maemo to be 100% community supported and how can we help to make it so?

BTW, I do visit MeeGo.com and have since day 1. If I do not have something constructive to say or have a question to ask, I general don't post.

Opinions about how we got here aside My understanding is that Maemo the OS will not have a place on the MeeGo forum by design. Maemo will still have a community will it not?

What next?
