I think there's an extent to which the users place will be what they make it, and that some of this stuff simply hasn't been decided yet. So far in these threads there have been complaints that everything's been stitched up without any community involvement, and also that there's uncertainty because there are things that haven't been decided between Intel and Nokia.

It's going to be a bumpy ride for a while, but there's absolutely no reason thiscommunity can't carry on, even if Nokia and Intel choose not to engage much. It's not as if Nokia have been exactly supportive and communicative up to now anyway.

If you think about it nothing much may have to change for you.
Either continue in this forum - or another one - and talk about bears and what-not. Your 'place' doesn't really need to change at all.

Believe it or not, not all of my 1800 or so posts have been about bears. I've tried to be a contributing member of this community in various ways, from ideas and encouragement to blogging and wiki-editing. Whether or not I've succeeded is a matter of opinion! But Nokia recognised this, and actually sponsored me to attend one of their meet-ups in December.

Sure I can join any community and just chat. That's easy. But the things I joined this community for are ones I can only find here: the interface between developers and users which can be productive on both sides, the place for supporting people who are having difficulties with devices or software, the sense of being part of something bigger and more worthwhile than just 'internet chat'.

If the end result of MeeGo is that end-users are sent somewhere else, I think that will be a loss. Devs will lose the ideas, feedback and testing that end-users can supply. New users will lose a body of people who have time and energy to support and offer advice not from a position of being a dev (and knowing all the complicated jargon) but from being a slightly-more-experienced end user. And users will lose contact with the very people who are creating the apps and software, and with that the sense of shared investment which this community has provided.

So yes, I think I do need to make sure there's a place for 'the average bear' in MeeGo.

Don't mind Tintin, Kathy... if he ever said anything positive about anyone or anything I'd suffer shock.

Hmmm, yes, I wonder what the battery life is going to be. It's supposed to have a Atom Pineview 45nm, I'm assuming it's single core, but even so, I'm guessing it's going to guzzle quite a bit more than an Arm A9 based processor.

Will QT apps run on Android if a library or something is installed? I don't think i need to mention closedPhone (maybe if you jailbreak it or something...).

Wow.. seriously?

A single line - commenting that chances are that the new system based on rpm will probably use the more common rpm update system over apt... is now a rant to you?

Awesome.
