Quim,

I think I speak in the name of everyone who had Maemo and MeeGo (and Qt too!) as their favorites in this mobile race, when I say:

THANK YOU!

You and the guys stood like champs and did the best you could. Respect!

I feel that something in meego development must have gone completely wrong. But I cannot see what that would be...maybe someone can give us some insight here...

Maemo Harmattan was close to be finished but had rough edges.

Then it merged with Moblin to be MeeGo.

Which meant delays while the infrastructure was being integrated.

Then Ari Jaaksi got out and they brought the guy from Palm who probably made them restart designing the UI and polish those rough edges. More delays.

Then comes Elop and says "Oh noes! MeeGo is delayed and we have no premium phone; so let's delay even more the launch of premium phones by adopting a platform with only 2 million users worldwide! And while we are it, let's throw the bus over our loyal developers by abandoning Qt! Do it for the lulz!".

*sigh* I bet the MeeGo device will be launched before the WP7 one (and it's going to have a crapton more features, for God's sake, S40 has more features than WP7).

At least you'll know it's a dead-end before buying, instead of 3 months after release like with N900.

Would have, could have, should have... that's the story around Maemo and now MeeGo.

Mer? Dead.
Mer ^2? Dead.
MeeGo Harmattan? Dead.

The people that worked on this will probably never respond. But it says more about what didn't happen as opposed to what was planned.

For some people here, like Quim, it's his job. Or maybe even more.

Please take a second to think and have a bit of consideration when posting in this thread.
Amen. Quim was OUR soldier. He had a job to do, but he loves open source, Linux, and freedom. Like Anssi, we may be losing another major advocate for OUR way of life.

Good luck, Quim. I love you, bro. If things don't work at Nokia, remember, MeeGo is everywhere.

Linux for LIFE!

He lives in California, I wish he could join the Web OS people and keep working on open source.
