"You can look but don't touch!"

Think input and decisions. We see the results of a pre-determined process.

I've contributed my efforts to a few of projects which were focused on fulfilling an unfulfilled community need like a laser. I'm not keen on simply volunteering nor "evangelizing" for a business objective to help some company reach their sales targets.

And yes, I was an early adopter and someone who used to think that Nokia would stand by their customers and their community. I still feel that many of the salaried individuals are decent and even aware of their collective's shortcomings but somewhat surprisingly (considering it's Finland with their flat hierarchies) the managerial train of thought is too far removed from the trenches.

Intel can afford Meego to fail completely and they'll still collect their x86 tax from 85% of humanity. Nokia OTOH seems to rely on Symbian on what can best be described as mid-range commodity hardware. Brockmeier's point was simply that Nokia has lost the support (which tends to be mutual) of the community. They can finish/ship Meego one day, but there's simply that much less active support building and porting apps to make that platform viable.
