The Poll is to try and get more behind the Community in an effort to see if there is a way of getting Nokia to release the much wanted source code for the N900 so that further development can carry on by this Community.

I alone can do nothing and the very reason it has to start somewhere and the reason for this Poll so please ask the Community what to do and not me alone, how about you put some idea's forward for everyone to read?.

A Poll is to establish who is for and against and is completely open for everyone to see and now is up to the Community to put idea's forward, the Poll will give everyone an idea how many want progress by the yes or no vote.

As of this post the count stands at 319 for and 14 against Nokia releasing the complete source code of the N900 os.

The only thing that baffles me is why the no vote because that would mean they do not want to progress further development for the N900 or is that there reason?, please post the reason you voted a no.

I have edited my opening post once again to give further explanation for this Poll.

Before you vote, there is text added by the forum code that says "Be advised that this is a public poll: other users can see the choice(s) you selected."

Perhaps it's personal, given your history here?

I'm all for encouraging Nokia to hand over the source code but that doesn't mean I have to participate in your poll.

Don't waste your time here, Andre.

The poll is also completely useless, who does really answer "no" to this kind of question? "Would you like the full source of Fremantle, for free?". Pointless.

More interesting would have been "Would you dedicate X months of your time to clean up something that resembles a full release of Fremantle source code?" "What would you do with full Fremantle source code?" etc. etc.

Also, you abill_uk fail at polls -- this should have been a _single selection_ poll!

Heh. Another center shot for Jedi. Stop using the force, Luke, that's cheating.

you are misinterpreting your pool results. If you look closely, i am in the "yes" list too.

So, technically, i you look who is with you, i DO support your petition.

Stay positive!

@ abill.... you keep saying things like you "will contribute to CSSU/Maemo once 50% of the closed components are opened" and you will "contribute to Meego DE when it is worth contributing to". Assuming you actually have something to contribute besides whining (doubtful).... WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR????

We don't need another petition or another discussion about the "sad state" of Meego/Maemo - we need action! Meaning get in there and get your hands dirty or STFU.

You have not talked once of the hard work the CSSU team have put into Maemo.
May be, a convenient way for both Maemo and Meego on N900 is to try a confluence of both approachs.

That is, apps and services for Maemo should be written taking into consideration Meego, so, if we switch, we will have a lot of excellent apps working.

A question for stskeeps,
I have a "C3 Beagleboard (with Android installed ;-)", and here there are instruccions for installing Meego.

Do you know if it works with SF2011 DE?

Regards,
Àngel
