Meeting summary

Community Office Roles and Proposed Nominations for TSG - presented by Dawn Foster (DawnFoster, 14:00:46)
(...)
Quim Gil has asked to step down from the community office. He's been my Community Office co-lead and CO marketing coordinator since I joined MeeGo, and I am sad to see him stepping out of this role. The good news is that he will continue to be involved in MeeGo. (DawnFoster, 14:01:21)
I consider this to be on-topic. A word, Tex?
1) from QGil, "I'll concentrate on the bridge between this upcoming Nokia product and the MeeGo community."
2) There will be no Fall 2011 MeeGo Conference. They are now planning for a conference in early 2012 and hope to have it annually after that. This was not openly discussed by the MeeGo community - it was just announced.

wtf is it with ppl crying about "ecosystem" = "vendor lock in".....

At the end of the day - SOMEONE has to pay to build this stuff - and unless YOU are paying it - you have no right to criticize corporate strategy when the chosen strategy is one that is inline with the corporation's goal.

As a paying customer, I am paying for it. It is not the duty of paying customers to concern ourselves with what is best for giant corporations. We don't like vendor lock-in because it is bad for consumers in the long run. Nobody is doubting the benefits for the vendor. It just might be that the interests of the vendor and those of the consumer are not perfectly aligned.

Is that supposed to translate as "Elite raw I/O"? I know interrupt 13 hexadecimal is the old BIOS call from assembler for HDD/FDD raw sector I/O.

(also it's a noun, not a verb, the way you have it, although I like your definition)

You've seen the "huge past record" of so-called mobile partners which Microsoft has left dead or dying by the side of the road, right? Wake up. Nokia's no different. Whatever reason you had for liking Nokia in the first place is now history. They are now a commodity manufacturer of WP devices.
