We will absolutely not forget N900 users and developers. If you are a developer, develop on N900 with Qt and your apps will run on MeeGo devices.
so the N900 will not be a meego device. More like a development environment for meego.

****! They will build it with rpm. I pretty much changed my Desktop OS cause of .rpm to .deb. This is not good.

I think however the merge will be a benefit for the future. If they are smart they will change and choose debian instead of rmp. That will attract more developers.

I giggled at the comparison. Maemo has so many more things that Moblin and MG... like already released devices!
Looking at that wiki chart, I have to ask myself, who's the Moblin guy named "please fill" and why is he mentioned in most of the Moblin spots?

Honestly, the Moblin folks better get something into that chart, because, looking at it, it feels like distro with a vibrant community is being pushed together with a distro with no community at all...

It strikes me far more as "consumed by," as it seems that aside from Qt everything else (community included) is being pushed aside by this little "backroom deal."

Very funny. Yes, you'd be right. I'm sure I read somewhere that Intel is really keen on the Maemo developer community.

Which is great and all, but Maemo actually has a -user- community, which is pretty unique.

I fear their target may be a community like the one surrounding Android, where the core is -all- developers and users are off somewhere, slightly detached with no real input.

Of course, if you see your customer not as the end-user but as the app developer and hardware vendor, that's your goal.

I couldn't agree with you more. However, I cannot recall they ever said anything about being interested in the end-user community, at least not as they have been quoted during today.

Edit: HTC has a user community, too. Over at XDA-developers. At least officially HTC never cared for the end user community. Partly because the community hack the devices and hand out HTCs roms for free etc. XDA's got close to 2.2 million members, of which about 12% are active on a regular basis. Funny really. End users are a nuisance. They're a foe. End users want things cheaply, for free if possible. Companies want profit. Yes, there is some tension there.

Hopefully with the release of qt 4.6 it'll more much better things for the n900.

Can it get any worse? lol

I honestly believe that Quim was being straight with us; Intel and Nokia made The Big Deal to merge the two distros together, and they figured they'd hammer out the community stuff later... with the communities, after announcing to the communities, which, actually, makes total sense.



Anyway it will probably be a few hours before we hear anything sober from those who went partying at MWC
