can't help noticing that a couple weeks ago you applied for a N9 from the CA... would winning one have changed your opinion on the "no future" idea?On 26 June 2012 04:07, Michael Cronenworth [via maemo community mailing lists] <[hidden email] </user/SendEmail.jtp?type=node&node=7580208&i=0>> wrote: Seeing Maemo as an opportunity to have a full, Linux experience to take with me on the go was exciting. Several years of active community members and developers gave proof that that excitement was real. Unfortunately all of that excitement had been extinguished once the hardware hit a brick wall. This e-mail seems like a belated good-bye seeing that no real activity in Maemo has happened in over a year. I refer Maemo as both 5 and 6(MeeGo). The last great stand, a.k.a. "Community Awards", was nothing more than a front to give away hardware mostly to friends. This embodies the Maemo community (perhaps Debian from where it was derived) as I saw it as a self-centered, self-righteous body. The proof lies in the empty mailing lists (which only became active when a free prize was dangled from a stick), the lack of members running for council, the absence of news on Linux/mobile sites, and the absence of change to the software ecosphere. I do not discount the work done with the CSSU or kernel, but this work can only go so far with the hardware they run on and with the limited resources (2-3 people?) at hand. The purpose of this email is to not, hypocritically, belittle others, but to wish them well on finding new projects with a larger chance of success. It is time for me to move on and wrap up this rant that will disappear into the Internet Ocean of bits forever. I had fun while it lasted. I engaged with new people and expanded my horizons a bit (never used dpkg until Maemo). I hope another company considers a Linux phone in the future, but I might have better luck wishing to see the tooth fairy.
