Hi! Mirko, I really like to see the final version of Om2009, so I'm happy there is still the plan to release it. We need a "legacy milestone" for some reasons: *) we of course may choose between different distros, but the great part are not easy to setup correctly while other are bleeding edge and breaks things every week, we need to give a sort of "stability" to users. *) developers wastes their time doing self distro mantaining and struggling with a fast changing underlying system, it may be better that they will focus on code, instead of rebuilding software, caring of api/library changes and so on. Om2009 should so take the place of Om2008, developers may target it and support users in a "decent" way instead of guessing problem that are distro related. *) in this "dark" phase that will help the reorganization of community Best Regards p.s. good luck for the new job/company :) Nicola _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
