I am troubled by noticing which individuals that are worried about the future of Nokia Mobile Computing. These individuals are amongst the very core of who I consider the Maemo community leaders. Council members, long time advocates, forum moderators...

It's like when a football fan club turns against the club after a losing streak. I know most of these former enthusiasts only will turn pessimistic after thorough re-evaluation of the situation.

When these Maemo figureheads pause in public, that's the kind of stuff that tech blogs notice and ends up showing in stock price drops. Well, would be if Maemo was considered important for Nokia by investors, which I doubt.

I am in no position to tell qgil and Nokia if their strategy is failing or not, especially this early in the new MeeGo direction. But I can tell qgil that it doesn't appear as [many of] those who know the most about Maemo on the community side have much faith left in Maemo/MeeGo.

Should this not worry you? I don't mean keep you in this discussion worry you, I mean talk to the marketing guys worry you. If you can't convince GeneralAntilles that you're on the right track, if qwerty12 and qole is losing motivation... Then I would think it'd be in the best interest for Nokia to sell some of your ideas to them. I am sure you're doing lots of right things. Doesn't help if no one believes in them.

This community is added value. Without this community, I would have had serious regrets about getting the N900. But this community seems to be having a lack of faith crisis. Send in the priests!

Or am I reading too much from this all?
