It's a trivial change, as opposed to discuss the destiny of the whole maemo.org or even the whole talk.maemo.org, which deserves an own thoughtful discjussion, or many.
Well then, why make a post about it instead of just PMing Reggie telling him to change it?

I think the time to show any consideration to community members is past don't you think?

And also - to 'ask for permission' for something as trivial as this will make some of the more dedicated fanboys cry out - "see!! they do care what we think!"

Rather clever really.

I for one like the fact that the vague "we will trust the communities to decide on the community stuff" statement one-by-one proves to be a practice. Long way to go, but why not be happy about the first steps, like asking the community kindly?
Spot on. As I said earlier in this thread - at the end of the day, Nokia (and Intel) are businesses and have completely different priorities than community gathered around that business. What is worth pointing out tough, is that they are actually do reach out back to the community and ask their opinion on the matter. That's at least what I see between the lines on Quim's various posts since yesterday.

IMVHO, people generally don't like drastic changes. However, as time flies by, we will all get used to that new MeeGo thing and quickly adjust to the new "reality". Think Facebook and their main layout changes every so often - there is a pattern I've observed myself: each time something changes in FB's layout, about 95% of people complain saying "previous was better". Time passes by, FB changes its layout again and... people complain that "previous was better". I am pretty certain we will see similar pattern with Maemo -> MeeGo, although I hope MeeGo is going to be definite branding change in this case. ;)

Yes, good that proposal is clarified quickly.

Oh, how many times have I said that about parts of the website... (the community page still has developers' mailing list recent posts on it).

Everyone obviously could have his/hers own opinion and I respect that. ;P

That may be true in this case, but it's not generally the case. There are plenty of businesses involved in free software because they are part of the community and their interests align with the community's interests.

There was confusion about "Maemo 6" and I explained the deal with "Maemo 6", picking the concrete example of renaming this SUB-forum.

If there is something wrong with this please let me know how to improve.
