What many people do not understand especially about me is, i do not mess about and go in where it matters most no matter what the feelings are.
I am and have been a troubleshooter many years and i just see all this useless talk for what it is.... useless.....
I am reffering to the trolling and the nay sayers and the name calling when we should be going at it where it will dent the most !.
.And the going round in circles all the time !!!.

Talk about irony.
I guess actual work is a BIT harder then drooling on your keyboard.

This is and should always be a group decision.

Any suggestions on how to do this?
- Negotiating with Nokia to provide updated closed source binaries
From a Radical Realistic Open Source point of view, why bother at all with a platform (Maemo) that is so infested with closed source?
It's going to go downhill like this like it always does in these kind of projects with devices that involve closed platforms:
* Clear trend of end-users moving on to other devices (promiscious and non-brand)
* Big legal challenges to legally redistribute parts of the firmware/full images
* Less and less work force to do anything useful
Do we really need a graph to show the effort/benefit of instead, focusing the community efforts on something like MeeGo, Debian, Ubuntu or god forbid, SHR?

.Will have to be someone else like danramos... go ask him
or momcilo or misterc.
For sure it has to be someone with guts and determination to see it through that will already have respect from this community.
After all the arguments i have had i am the wrong person sorry.
