Qt is open I dont think Nokia will ever try to close it again. Actually it has been more opensourced recenly.

Nokia never tried to close Qt, doing so would be futile due to the agreement established before they ever bought Trolltech. It has been opened even more though, which is always good.

One thing this community HAS learned from Nokia , should be never to have to rely on another team to do the work.

OK i will edit this post to say they SHOULD have learned from the fiasco with Nokia .

Yes, that is the present situation, are you sure about the future?

And even then, they can't un-GPL what was GPL'd already.

The site itself isn't needed if appropriate services to migrate to are found and there is a clear timetable and assistance to projects.

Bug tracking's been deprecated for ages, and hardly anyone uses Garage's news or forum features.

The biggest gap to my mind are the mailing lists. Migration of svn (including exposing the repo databases) or git are straightforward; as are bugs (where used). Is groups.google.com the best alternative for arbitrary mailing lists? If someone found, and documented, and assisted, we could start migrating off Garage sooner rather than later.

freelists.org is also pretty good IMO

To whom this may concern, I've set up N8x0 Doomsday repositories topic.

By reading some posts it looks like some people are still in denial of the fact that maemo is dead. Yeah I know that harmattan technically is maemo6 but it's called meego in marketing so better stick to that. The question is not if we should move to meego but when and where. There is not much said yet about formeego.org, who will sponsor it and whatnot but i still think that tmo should move there. Project hosting is not really necessary anymore as there are plenty of other nice places for that.

Edit: Anybody knows what's up with the meego.org domain? It looks really lame now. If it's just a hijacker couldn't LF sue them or something and take back the domain and give it to the maemo.org community?

Edit2: Some progress on http://apps.formeego.org/ it seems.
