Right now it is not a lot at all and from a developers eyes looking in a little dissapointing so i want you to prove me wrong and get MeeGo up and running as fast as you can, i wish you all the luck in gaining dev's for your project but right now as it stands there is nothing to even touch the Maemo os for the N900.
Maemo stands firm in this community as it is after all Maemo.org and the reason for this Poll.

Shouldn't we start a new petition "PETITION to Stskeeps to release the full source code of whatever-he-is-working-on to this Community." so that we could end the debate here?

Imma start a PETITION for people to start doing things, rather than making more POINTLESS PETITIONS asking people about what they want...
on a relevant note, where do you want to go today? (tm)

Holy ****, abill_uk.
Since you're an experienced software/hardware engineer, why not develop your own SGX driver? It's a FSF high-priority project after all, and you can wave your e-pen0r around when you're done.
Point is, the Meego N900 DE team are working with software components freely redistributable but don't work with Maemo for various reasons, or components they made themselves/patched up other OSS projects.

My bad! Is there any way I could retract my 'Yes' now? No?

momcilo, if you have specific questions about components and licensing, I'd like to take that in another thread. But please do your homework on how open source licensing works as I think you have misconceptions.
Stskeeps, you may notice that in many ways I share some level of agreement with abill_uk on this topic.
As for misconceptions, please note that what I am asking is not the following:
N900 (hardware is not of interest) + Meego + closed propriatory bits of nokia + closed propitiatory bits of third parties
I am asking for the following:
open source hardware drivers for all of the device (770, 800, 810, 900 and maybe future device).
Yes you have provided the status of these components for n900, not for the other devices. You have stated we should be safe with closed source drivers, but have you ever had a machine with Broadcom wifi module, and did you ever experience the reliability of a similarly designed blobs?
I have, if you didn't you may want to spend some time in exploring how this really works in reality (EDIT: I mean user experience, I am know you are extremely capable guy).
In short I simply want fully open platform DEVICE+DRIVERS+OS

This is sad to read as you are putting a definitive gap between Maemo and MeeGo, have you any idea how people would react if you actually helped in any way the cause for Maemo?.
Is money all that matters to you?.
