As said, in the short term very little changes. More conversations (almost certainly on maemo-community, which is where all the stakeholders are) will be continuing next week.

This is primarily a chance to come up with new prioritisation & planning processes, so that clear responsibilities can be assigned and tasks completed in a timely and efficient manner.

For all the hand wringing about if(/when) Nokia pull the plug, or Nemein go bankrupt/don't want the work/get hit by a bus, the community will have to step up, or the infrastructure will die. It's a simple choice.

One could imagine Reggie could continue talk.maemo.org as an advertising funded site (although whether the adverts would cover the costs of hosting the forum now is an interesting question), as it used to be as ITT.

However, the rest of the infrastructure (you want software? pfft) has seen little interest from members of the community willing to step up and provide code. So we'd be looking at raising cash. And probably quite a bit.

Anyway, that's not going to happen anytime soon, and Nokia have given as much of a commitment as they can as to the future of maemo.org.
