but, seriously...

NITDroid...
Trinity...
Neo?
naaaa, TDE as in KDE 3.5

two examples of rather larger and fairly complex software's that are maintained and developed by a small team of... dedicated ppl

KDE 3.5 dead?
alive and kicking, thanks!
about a year ago the folks working on KDE 4 kept saying KDE 3.5 was a dead end... because it (still) was using qt3; meanwhile Timothy Pearson & two other ppl have ported the KDE 3.5 code to qt4; the only difference that seems to be left between KDE 4 and KDE 3 now is that later is working

is the only reason it is (not or barely or ...........) possible to make phone calls in NITDroid the lack of the complete source code?

so, yes, i think abill's point that with the (complete) source code Maemo could thrive is fairly valid. or is it?
i only know a little about, e.g. nouveau, the open source version of the NVidia drivers; i guess NV may be a little more lenient then NOKIA but still; even though nouveau is not as powerful as the nv drivers (yet), it is possible...

like i pointed out, it is questionable whether NOKIA wants to have a Maemo 5.5 (or whatever) competing with its own
even more so if, maybe, the elected few might actually return to Maemo & adapt it for their N950s and thus for any N9.
that definitely wouldn't do now, would it?

EDIT: shouldn't the holders of a N950 be banned from Maemo.org?
they betrayed Maemo.org as much if not more then NOKIA didn't they?
NOKIA @ least had business reason to turn its back on Maemo (& keep some of the code)

yet again evidence that the administration of Maemo.org is partial and maybe not a valid organ to lead a Maemo / OS200x renouveau?

EDIT': if that is not FIRE IN THE HALL!!!! i don't know what is ¦-)

I think time for someone else to have input other than me, i think i have said enough for now.

My points have been made and this is a community thing and not sure if what i have said on here is even the right place or not but it would run a lot better without the trolling from ysss and daperl.

maybe i'm on too many ppl's ignore list ~¦:c)

in fact, i think this site is lost for any OSS purpose.
it is still a NOKIA backyard with too many so called dedicated ppl being too closely linked to NOKIA or NOKIA's interest

that dedication is definitely not truly interested in an independent Maemo / OS200x
maybe anyone connected with MeeGo should be banned from Maemo.org?


but of course, banning (even temporarily) is just one of those autocratic reaction, denying open & free speech.

the right thing to do is to pick up whatever code we have & leave this place.
is os2001.org still available?
os2010.org ?
os2061.org?
os3001.org?
anything.org ?!?
well, a fitting one would be the thedeeprange.org... fallen from space into the oceans...

Do you mean oss2010.org etc?.

got carried away by the allusion, but, yes, i guess oss2010.org would be a good one too
maybe oss2011.org then, to make a cut from the current Maemo version (PR 1.3 / 20.2010.36-2)?

i do not copy that

Are we cross wires here? take a look at http://oss2010.org/drupal5/ and you will see what i mean lol.

OH i just re-read your post and me is stupid today lmao.

I think maybe theforgottenmaemo.org would be more apt hahaha.

copy that
guess we are left with oss2061.org or oss3001.org, then?
or, to be exceedingly epic, oss2001.org, my personal favourite

or we could try to play around with the letters some, like GNU's recursive acronym?
oos2010/1 ?
oss also has a little bit of a "spy" connotation to it, doesn't it?

osos201x would be a nice play on osso ¦-)

EDIT: or we could go completely off the chart? rdz-vswithrama.org ¦-))))

what aptitude are you alluding to here

EDIT: more seriously, i'd rather go w/ rpm too :hidding:
