I just see MeeGo as Maemo 7. Different name, same technology, same idea. So yes, please keep the information coming to maemo(7).org
There is a very important difference, and it's not package formats or technology I'm talking about. It might be more open source-wise (it has the (dis)advantage of not being tied/developed with a single vendor product in mind), but focus and community-wise it's a completely different matter, and (IMHO) a huge step backwards compared to what maemo.org is/was (if I want to draw parallels, I'd say we're closer to a parliamentary monarchy, while meego.com is a feudal system with a BDFL approach). The project goals/workings (still) have not been properly communicated, and IMHO this is one of the reasons MeeGo reception is somewhat polarized - there are still plenty of people who don't quite grasp what is MeeGo and how it affects them.

In that sense, I'm glad to hear news about MeeGo, esp the (soon to be CE) DE and the bigger-impacting technological changes, but I wouldn't lull myself into MeeGo itself being (or looked at as) all that much 'closer' to the NIT lineage than, say, Ubuntu or NITdroid is.

Given the above, shall we then call him Voldemort?

The naming scheme is FUBAR anyway, so what something is called means little anyways, and when Harmattan comes out, that barrier will become a whole lot blurrier...

@Thedevils, I think considering how long you've been here, and how long the rest of us have been here. You don't really have the right to say what this place is or isn't. We are a community based around the Nokia NIT devices, we have had more operating systems than just Maemo you know. and if you want to stop MeeGo announcements and discussions on this forum, then maybe you should also tell those NITdroid folks to go away as well.

Seeing as this is a forum for Nokia Internet tablet owners and meego is the next OS that will be available for Nokia Internet Tablets, it makes it entirely relevant to us.

If you want this to be Maemo only, we might as well call it the graveyard so that we're closer to Maemo.
