Sure, this happens, but when misunderstandings are a common occurance I
take issue with it.
We can continue this discussion in finnish so I can express myself
more naturally ;) (kidding)
It would be a good test to see how well Google can translate. "I want to
have lunch with your puppy." ;)
Individuals will always be individuals and they all act differently.
The best advice I can give you is to just follow the discussions, get
to know the people, see how the community dynamics work, etc.
I gave it my best shot for these two years. Yes, I joined with the N900
crowd. It wasn't until this last year that I have seen things go sour.
Well. engadget liked it :) This bit isn't really a community issue. It
is a common misinterpretation that meego.com <http://meego.com> has
something to do with devices. No so much - It only makes the open
source MeeGo reference SW that hardware vendors can take and
differentiate.
I am aware of what MeeGo is. I don't see anyone jumping up and using
MeeGo though. Using: multiple devices on major markets. I see putting my
time into Fedora ARM as a better alternative.
To me it seems that you're venting your frustration/disappointment on
Nokia not delivering according to your expectations on the community
which of course is the wrong target so it's kinda expected that you
won't be getting a warm welcome from the community. Why? The community
is pretty much people like you and me. Don't blame us for things that
we haven't done and are not even in the position to do.
I'm just as ignorant finnish software engineer and I maintain packages
in and do small applications for MeeGo in my spare time. See, we're
not that different.
My frustration is partly at Nokia, but some (note: some) members I have
interacted with have largely left a bad taste in my mouth. Maybe I just
have bad social skills, but don't all engineers? :P
It's good to hear from you, Timo. Thanks for the reply. Please don't
view my e-mail as an attack on you personally. There have been positive
moments in my time in Maemo. It has just fallen off here at the end and
I wanted to vent.
