On Fennec usage in DE, it seems not possible to pre-load te majority of the Fennec libs, so we won't have a fast(er) startup time on a limited capability machine like the N900. I think it's sub 15s by now, not too bad, looking where we came from but not really acceptable by most end-users. Even the Mozilla Firefox/Fennec guys consider the N900 as being just too weak to run it well. That's one of the reasons an alternative was sought. Some Nokia people are not giving up to improve it further but if proper support from Mozilla guys is not there, things are going to be hard.
Just wanted to give these nuggets of info, as I didn't see these yet mentioned. Those meeting minutes are sometimes like treasure hunts, lots of interesting stuff in there

Sounds like they are taking another look at the Chromium browser?
I understand the Orange browser is classed as a "light" one so not one to replace Fennec.

I just wish Ovi Maps would be somehow someday ported to MeeGo.. As the Ovi Maps on Symbian is just great..
But lets not gets hopes up, I mean technicaly if they did that and had a Qt version which was released for MeeGo, it could slyly be backported to work on Maemo
Obviously this is not considering the legal implications of porting a closed Nokia application from MeeGo to Maemo

They may release it for Symbian yes. But Microosft want allow them to distribuate it for Linux devices (Meego/Maemo). Especially not as opensource and binary packets for Meego will for sure not work on Maemo.
Remember Nokia is working for Microsoft now.
You can only trust open community and some of the engineer still working on Meego/Qt at Nokia. The rest of Nokia is FAIL.

Since Nokia is not associated with MeeGo as its focus OS I suspect OVI maps will be available on MeeGo. I would to see OVI maps with navigation and spoken street names.
