Now the question is..

Vanilla Meego or Nokia Meego? We know the UIs are going be completly different, so will Skillman's work only go into Nokia Meego's UI?

His only experiences so far were in closed-source. Maybe he's into voodoo.

Well, yeah, but did he run Linux...?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebOS

I'm not sure if Nokia was desperately in need of an UI/UX guru since from my perspective it's been the hardware that's been lagging (or shelved inexplicably!), but if Nokia has finally found someone to pin a few pricks into the opposition who am I to object...

In any case WebOS was universally hailed as aesthetically pleasing and gawds (Ukko Ylijumala?) know that Nokia's backend/cloud services could use some overall UX design help. (unless Meego will be a separate island from rest of Nokia offerings)

As JamesDownWell asked early in this thread, was there anyone in charge of Meego UX before Skillman's appointment?

Call me pessimist but...

Worked in Palm 11 years - means he was working during long slide of Palm towards obscuracy.
Had one hit with WebOS which in cold numbers wasn't *big* success.

On one hand this move means Elop doesn't want to abandon Meego, maybe even wants to elevate its profile, on the other hand not usre if those moves are right.

WebOS had no personality and no innovative idea. It look like watching an early 2000s interface.
Designing that webOS UI after one iPhone's generation on the market seem, to me, a pretty trivial task. The guy probably just toke care of keeping things a bit coerents.

you must not have used webos. it is pretty slick in many areas and has ceveral innovative ui concepts in my opinion:

swiping stuff off the screen for deletion or closing
capacitive 'buttons' not on the screen
portrait querty slider
synergy

i rather like it, and it has pretty good multitasking.

JunOS is based on FreeBSD, and a viable competitor to Cisco. So he has worked for an underdog involved in OSS

[EDIT]Oh intercourse, wrong guy/thread still, webOS has open sauce components, but yeah, nothing like Maemo[/EDIT]
