Nokia has just asked that the Maemo servers be moved out of the enterprise facility to somewhere else. X-Fade's personal contract was not extended past June 30. (We got no advance notice.) All we have at this point is the basic maintenance contract with Nemein (which we have not seen).

Rob,
optimism / pessimism is only the expression of a probability.
you have admit that if X-fade's contract has ended 2 days ago, the stats are somewhat skewed
sorry to hear about X-fade losing his job
in fact, this starts to sound very nastily like me EDIT
NOKIA's situation is so desolated that it may have to file for bankruptcy (well) before the end of 2013 :'(
They are simply cutting stuff that has no value for them, at this point it's understandable for them, unfortunately.

common sense does not seem to be... common good for NOKIA management right now, so they'll keep farting away, quarter after quarter that the next release of LostDOS fossilized will be their savior
most assemblies lines are already outsourced if i remember correctly and... gee, who would want to waste any money on a slurry pit, huh?
NOKIA has passed the point of no return.
alas, going the wrong way.

The whole issue is not going to work if Nokia finally pull the plug on this community.
The thing everyone is either missing or avoiding here is "permissions" and without full access to Maemo it is all doomed and will never go any further than it has now for this community.

This community is going about it arse about face and not realising the future actions of Microsoft, Nokia have no say whatsoever in this now because it will be owned and run eventually by Microsoft entirely.
Everyone needs to realise this and stop wasting time on things that will just never happen for this community.

i for one am going to download interesting packages with w3mir (extras* repository) respectively Pali's download.sh or his improvement on apt-mirror for NOKIA's repositories.
once this is done i will see into porting dpkg-scanpackages respectively dpkg-scansources to Fremantle so that everyone can create her or his own local repository.
without games & themes the whole thing comes down to 15GB.
any mSDHC 32GB card (preferably formatted ext2) can then serve as a "repository" to every N900 owner.
EDIT: sorry, forget about dpkg-scansources
the 15GBs are only armel deb packages, thus dpkg-scanpackages is all that's needed.
i do appreciate that this community is about developing software, but past 31st of December...
