"Tuesday, February 15th, 2011 - Despite the recent departure of a former mobile handset manufacturer giant, several developing teams and their users are actually... happily hacking on. With the longterm goal of a fully Free Software platform for embedded systems, the teams of FSO, SHR, QtMoko, Replicant and AndroidOnFreerunner invite others to join and participate in projects which are not driven left and right by the unpredictable follies of corporate management."

The thing that annoys me is the "driven left and right by the unpredictable follies of corporate management" - if MeeGo dies, it's not because Nokia pulling out support, it's because people, irrational as they typically are, pull out of MeeGo development.

As far as i know:

1. Meego is not dead
2. Qt is bot dead
3. QtMobility is not dead
4. QtQuick is not dead

and:

all above is openly developed in the git repositorys this means the code wil not dissapear even if Nokis later decides to stop support Qt.

It really is time for people too understand this now. There is to much trolling and ******** talk about this issues.

Qt and Meego only dies if community(that is developers AND endusers) decides to kill it! Even if Microsoft will try too hurt it they can only do it if developers stop makes apps or/and endusers stop use the apps and going wp7!

What about the massive resources provided by the corporations now? Might as well take advantage of them. And also, what about open governance that exists in the Linux Foundation?

i agree about the top layers, but the application layer will flourish only if the middleware is "provided" to us by nokia - if they decide to do that.

the PR mentions the main goal - we are developing mainly the middleware as free and open source, and integrate it for the average user.

the os is meego of course..

I hope the Meego version will have better success than the current cubovisions... the previous generation boxes were a massive flop.

But I have seen a prototype at the Nokia Developer Days, and it looked great. So there is hope.

I don't know I will never buy something I can do with my linux box, but if a "big" company uses meego...there's a hope...maybe...
