Sorry but it is the Walpurgis night + Labour Day combo weekend.

I'm drunk, I'm pretty sure that everybody who works for Nokia is drunk and well....have to go drink some more.

That is why we never get the PR1.2...

That was my participation

(BTW Laughingstok I like the photos you posted, but are they really taken with an n900 ?)
Yep. Should be able to check the data on them if you dont believe it (not sure why you wouldnt)

WHat's frustrating to me with this whole PR 1.2 discussion is not so much when it will be released, but rather the fact we have these large monolithic releases at all.

For all the openness around maemo development we don't have what we get on desktop linux distros -- ie all capability packaged, regular updates, and a variety of repositories to reflect different needs (ie stable/beta/development)

I hope this will improve in meego -- and of course it's also right to expect updates to be bundled carefully for the stable channel, whilst beta and esp development can be more dynamic/use at own risk.

And cruicially making individual packages available would allow affected users to get hold of very specific fixes they need (for example I'm waiting for a certificate manager fix to address a wireless eap-tls issue) promptly .

Let's hope this changes and this whole "PR" discussion becomes irrelevant in future.,

Can we nominate her to the council like "divine inspiration of maemo.org"?
Is she real or a Maya-rendered Godness?

Yes, I want the PR1.2 also. But I don't want to blame Nokia for a supposed PR1.2 running on the Chinese release.
I think alot of people need to read your point I put in bold. Thank you. Especially considering the amount of problems the last update had (people couldn't install it because of installing apps that ate up rootfs, issues downloading it, etc.. etc..)

True, there isn't going to be an explosion of applications just because PR 1.2 comes. The significant thing about the update (besides bug fixes) is QT compatibility. The more devices out there means more of a userbase for developers to sell their applications too. And if developers can target several userbases (Symbian, Maemo, Meego) with one application developed using QT, well that's a strong incentive for the developers.

I do think there should be a process similar to extras-devel, extras-testing, and extras for application updates. So people who are willing to be beta testers and acknowledge that they are testing a potentially buggy fix can install it and give feedback.
