@lma: actually, that thread (assuming you're referring to the n950 one) does not specifically say anything about buying devices that don't belong to the owner.

Oh we can play coy all day long but the facts are that all N950s in existence belong to Nokia and they are not interested in selling them, period. Asklng for one is equivalent to asking one of the loan recipients to effectively steal it, or worse, asking someone to mug one of those developers, steal the N950 and sell it to you.

I'm throwing this question out there because there's been some huge changes (mainly from Nokia) midway of this term and I think it's fair if anyone needs to reconsider their stance toward Nokia/maemo.

That's an insightful question. The answer is No.

While I respect people's opinions, if you don't want to volunteer your time to maemo any more, fine, but you should move on gracefully and not try to take deprecate maemo before you go. As a council member who is trying to move the community along, it is quite frustrating.

Ironically, the person you are replying to is another council member ;-) See http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_Council for complete roster.

You've got me there.

I've assumed all council members are recognisable through signature.

In either case thank you for pointing out to useful information. I am embarrassed to admit, but I've failed to find it few days ago.

I still think most of my points about asking the questions and answering remains.

I would like to. Although it has worked OK in the past, the problem is that talk.maemo.org is now a bit of a problem. See Estel's comments:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=75782&page=7

I can only say that, if we organize, then the forum situation can be addressed as part of it.

Those are a whole LOT of assumptions.

We disagree quite a bit there. Asking is asking. There is no harm in it. I don't support wasting anyone's time on addressing those requests until and unless they become spam (eg, one person persistently begging).
