Everyone STOP because this is only talk talk talk as usual and nothing is found out.
SOMEONE email Nokia and ask the question pointing them to this thread and see what reaction you get !.
Mulitple emails untill an answer has been recieved and THEN talk about this not untill.
Chances are it will be a distinct NO so all this talk is pointless untill the answer is there.
Untill then go with the CSSU.

You're talking about different they's than me. I commented on the origins of this thread where community members throws a few dollars on the table and expects to be able to buy all of Maemo.

I thought MeeGo was just EOL'ed. While it is newer, why is that any better? Wouldn't Maemo be more complete feature wise than MeeGo 1.3 CE?
What intel is doing with tabletversion/netbook of Meego efforts is totally irrelevant to what we talking about here.
Namely Nokias handsets N9xx and making it alive for some years more.

Well thats EXACTLY what Meego 1.3 CE N9xx is about. there is no closed apps in MeegoCE.
closed parts is Batterycharging, GFX and modem (if I remember correct) but there IS community people outside Nokia who has access to this stuff so not that big issues bugs are fixed and drivers are improved this is NOT the case of Maemo5. and open apps is starting to be backported from Harmattan to CE. And funny is Qml is already faster/smother on MeegoCE than Maemo5. Not sure exaclty why but one reason could be because MeegoCE is using hardfp in GCC.
But hey its up to you, people can sit here fight about Maemo5 and dream about Nokia "open up the drivers/apps" or help improve Meego CE for N9xx I prefer the later for several reasons...

As Mike said.. we should focus on Meego also.. i has the potential to replace maemo5..is we all work together..i have been testing daily builds since June..and i have to say..its wonderful to see the improvement ..and with Meego 1.3 CE.. performance is quite good.. !

my reason for suggesting a move not centered around meego was based on the fact that the project is transitioning to tizen. Are the current community devs happy with this change? Will the HTML5 focus lose developers? What will happen with QT/QML? Lots of questions whose answers will not be known for some time yet.
Meego, as it currently stands, as several have pointed out, is probably the best way forward at the moment. It is more up to date, better drivers etc etc. My suggestion was purely about in the long term. Unfortunately I wasn't around when Mer was, so I don't know the full story there.

May want to read up a bit so you're prepared to give better suggestions based on the history of failures that this community has already suffered.

Nokia aren't going to let us have the source for any of the closed components, I doubt this community could raise any amount of money that would interest them, and even it were possible would it be worth it? I want some up to date hardware to go with my up to date OS. I do want to keep my N900 going until someone makes a worthy successor, but until then I think the best route is going the way the CSSU guys are going.
