>You are the one who started a thread called "The end is coming...". In
it, you said "the maemo community is (almost) nothing without Nokia" and argued
that "the best thing the Maemo community can do over the next
year
and a half is to transition to the MeeGo community." And you have argued
against people at maemo.org organizing themselves, voluntarily. I don't know
if you
are the "primary person" or not, but hey you did put yourself out there.

I'd like to defend Alan here.
First I'd like to move past finger pointing. That's divisive and unnecessary.
Second, he's essentially correct in his judgment: Maemo the OS has a limited
life without Nokia's backing, assuming it will never be released 100% to the
wild (and I believe that to be a safe assumption but would love to be proven
wrong). A general transition to MeeGo *does* make sense, and even Cordia
should be able to fit.
Finally, I have seen nothing from him arguing "against people at maemo.org
organizing themselves, voluntarily". I think that's a leap. What I see is him
disagreeing with are ASPECTS and some suggestions, NOT the core activity per
se. Knowing Alan I cannot believe such a thought would even cross his mind. I
may be wrong there, and this is just my opinion being expressed.
I realize there's a lot of emotion here and I've been guilty of succumbing to
it, too, but please: let's ALL try to be objective, especially community
leaders. I will do better myself.
Randy
