i see nothing wrong with this message.
as an example of pseudo code it seems quite apt, however it won't compile on
my machine due to missing grumphy dependencies.

anyone know where I can get them from?

Please do your best to save Maemo project (hardware and software part)

2008-09-06 Thread Darius Jack
Hi,

please do your best to save Maemo project (software and hardware part).

Please show your support to excellent job done for Maemo project
by Quim Gil
marketing manager, open source
Maemo Software @ Nokia

Please try to avoid any frustration in public place,
please nominate some leaders among maemo developers to avoid
competition conflicts.

I am really afraid Maemo Project (hardware part) is partly closed.
My private opinion is based on traffic generated by maemo users at
InternetTabletTalk, by frustration shown in public place by some developers, by 
Maemo.com web site getting more and more bureauctratic place, by comments made 
by Quim disclosing a little interest by Nokia VIPs
to listen to what Maemo community says.
And finally.
Great place, great Welcome page devoted to Nokia N810 and N810 Wimax
version, I set up one year ago as Google Group
Nokia Internet Tablet
http://groups.google.com/group/nokia-internet-tablet?hl=en
has been hacked by knowing man
and Nokia Internet Tablet Welcome page with some hundred of
web links to services providing state-of-the-art coverage to Maemo project
(pictures, text, videos)
has gone forever .
The issue is, Welcome page's status was set to edit-protected by Google,
so no third person was in capacity to remove it.
As you see, there is no Welcome page at all.
Welcome page option is off.

So as not to enter into basic investigation,
just ask Google, who did it.
I contacted local Google office, Google office in Ireland, Google HQ
emailed Google Groups manager in charge.

So mayby my conclusion is well grounded and N810 Wimax edition is temporary 
closed.

If I am wrong please tell more details.
In either case, do your best to save Maemo project.

There is a number of Linux based tablets, cell phones -
Eee PC by Asus, A1200 by Motorola.

Linux is excellent in embedded devices.
Issue is GUI in embedded devices.

Stylus operated PDA technology is 20 years old. No chance for market success.
Multitouch + Maemo + glas replacing foil makes another generation of
maemo hardware.

There is a conflict of interest among administrator of InternetTabletTalk
and other hot Nokia Internet Tablet places.
Last year administrator of I.T.T removed all 3 messages I posted to I.T.T. 
forum to N 700, N800, N810 to say hello about new GG 
Nokia Internet Tablet , being afraid to loose traffic to I.T.T.

Doing so he hurt Nokia's Maemo business, hurt Nokia Internet Tablet users
as only N.I.T.  provided some hundred valid web links to Maemo software, 
hardware nice places as Semantic WWW Magazine (RD Project).

I.T.T. is web based forum and as a such, provides no multimedia content,
no web links to third parties, so there is no conflict of interest.
And the more, N.I.T. acted exactly complementary to I.T.T.

And thousand visiting N.I.T. have had opportunity to get valuable information 
from I.T.T. discussions so traffic generated was much greater
to provide some extra financing by ads placed at I.T.T.

Today administrator of I.T.T. get involved in ad personam conflicts,
not being able to say one word, why Nokia selected low quality gps in N810,
supported by network assistance.

The issue with AGPS is vwery clear.
In the States, tablet users get flat rate cell access to the Internet.
In Europe and in other parts of world, roaming takes place,
so moving from one country to another with AGPS on
you pay roaming overheads amounting 10 times basic flat cell rate if provided.
So ppl going abroad try not to pick up a cell phone not to pay
very high roaming fees.

What is so very simple and clear, makes for I.T.T. administrator
a way to make ad personam remarks.

Closing. 
N.I.T. Semantic WWW Magazine provided at the top
web link to Maemo repositories (all repositories collected by one man)
to save time of happy Maemo users to spend hours on making Google queries.

Maemo website unfortunately lost application catalog
and valid option was application search by categories (a nightmare, as a number 
of categories has grown to 15-20).
 
Maemo project is still very close to global success, much greater than
Apple with IPhone, Asus with Eee PC ..

To win we need to avoid any frustration , avoid ad personam attacks
and empty threads like Improved N810 gps at I.T.T. ,
beginning with first comment like
it takes hours to get a gps fix

Product going to market must be tested, pretested and ready as quality product.
If Nokia goes to market with such product, generating so many problems,
it does mean, no testes, pretests were done
and such market policy hurts Nokia customers and hurts Nokia profits.

Maemo hardware  is intended for end-users as ready-Internet Tablet + gps 
navigation and it must work excellently.

As Nokia Internet Tablet is not a phone
it's price must be 1/2 of the price of Internet Tablet + phone (see iPhone).

With Internet tablet + phone on market, a manufacturer
gets a chance to sell its Internet Tablet Phone by global network of
cell phone points of sales, providing customers with reduced price

Dave,

please do your best to save Maemo project (hardware and software part)
stop conflicts, frustration.
Read my thread

Please do your best to save Maemo project (hardware and software part)


and do something good for the community and for me
and don't send frustrated emails addressed personally to me, any more)
Just concentrate yourself on Maemo Project and how to make
Maemo Tablet No.1 in the world.

Chance is still open if you can keep your frustration in your pocket.
FRIENDLY COOPERATION
is what I expect from you.

I am not responsible for business policy at Nokia.
For market standing go to Bloomberg.

I suggested to set up Think-Tank
and Think-tank was just created and set up and is on.
Let's us concentrate to make Internet Tablet multitouch
and hot gizmo
and don't blame Apple for iPhone's success.
Try to think globally not locally.
You live in 21st century.

 Hi Darius,
 
 I'm contacting you off-list in the hope that you can
 modify your
 behaviour before you do more damage to the Maemo community
 thhan you
 already have.
 
 You have been posting far too often, quite incoherently, on
 subjects
 about which you apparently have no in-depth knowledge. The
 net result is
 an increased level of frustration and aggression in the
 community.
 
 I don't condone the kind of language that Benoit used.
 I will talk to
 him about it also. But your behaviour is a serious problem
 in Maemo now.
 I do not doubt you are well-meaning, but I request that for
 the good of
 the community that you stop posting to the mailing list for
 a while -
 and when you do post, it would be great if your posts could
 concern code
 that you have written, or documentation you're helping
 write, or
 something other than bare Nokia should do
 this... messages.
 
 Thank you,
 Dave.

My bet is he is some kind of 'support vampire' [1], if you are reading

You cannot change the world unless you understand how it works.

Hi,

Read my thread first.

Please do your best to save Maemo project (hardware and software part)


Too much bad energy, no leaders, many frustrated,
no interest to make Maemo Internet Tablet really hot global gizmo
supported by financial success.

You don't understand that me and my friends are another in-spe buyers of Nokia 
Tablet better edition.
Software part without hardware part makes no market, generates no profit,
no success.

Let me to say you something frankly.
I am the only man in my region of the world who has bought Nokia Tablet
and none of my friends showed ever any interest to buy and use Linux Internet 
Tablet.
Linux Internet Tablet is very special device and gizmo,
nothing so hot like iPhone.
Laptops /notebooks with preinstalled Linux in MediaMarkt can not attract buyers.
Linux is for professionals not street customers.

You go the wrong way, selected the wrong way of making business
and some developers are really frustrated
and show such frustration in public places.

To succeed, you need to behave nice, be friendly and make Maemo Tablet a gizmo 
made by successful people for people of success.
Don't expect people to buy product made by frustrated developers.

You really don't know what are you doing wrong.
I tried to give you free friendly advice
and you still can't comprehend what I say.

Just read carefully my thread

Please do your best to save Maemo project (hardware and software part)

and follow it one day.

I am very satisfied with my Internet Tablet
so I really don't understand your problems, conflicts and frustration.
It works fine for me.

Right now there isn't (to my knowledge) any published set of appropriate 
use guidelines for the list by which one can judge the behavior of any 
particular member.  In the absence of such guidelines, and moderators 
empowered to enforce them, banning a particular email address seems like 
bad mojo (not to mention likely ineffective).

That said, in the past I've found his posts more inflamatory than 
contributory and I've killfiled him long ago.  I've been much happier 
since, the whole tone of the list feels much less combative and negative 
without his posts (I've even left in threads and responses to his posts, 
which are generally fine without his contributions).

My recommendation is to trash his messages without reading them, and 
don't feed him.

Thanks,

 Nokia is lossing millions, is loosing markets

oh really? You are only half correct.

Nokia reported second quarter earnings today, which saw its net income 
fall 61 percent to 1.1 billion euros ($1.74 billion), from 2.83 billion 
euros ($4.49 billion), compared to a year ago despite its market share 
reaches 40% from 38%.

http://mobchina.blogspot.com/2008/07/nokias-profits-drop-by-61.html

So Nokia increased it market share and is still loosing sales. couldn't 
have anything to do with recession at all or high fuel prices, either hey?


 and Maemo, Maemo community was really a great chance for Nokia
 to make something special.

They did. Besides, Nokia and Maemo doesn't make the community. The 
community makes itself.

 Today chances are lost.
 It's too late.

oh. such doom and gloom...

 Just read Bloomberg and market analysis and stock reports.
 Chances for sucess and to be No.1 with Maemo success has gone forever
 to Samsung, Apple and emerging Google cell phones.

really funny. I thought the n770, n800 and n810 has no gsm. If you know 
differently, please point me to the correct dev node and I will whack 
Qtopia Phone on there so you can use it as a gsm phone (oh wait. Qtopia 
Phone already runs on n810, silly me, what was I thinking. All thats 
needed is a phonevendor plugin). so no, it isn't competing with apple 
and 'emerging' android phones. as well, any android phone is just 
vaporware. Do you smell that? They let the blue smoke out of their 
reference boards...


 
 We should play fair.
 Maemo community was a great chance for a great victory by Nokia.
 Unsupported, with no leadership, no challenges set
 ended in frustration and half-finished products
 like low quality gps navigation, no-cell-phone Maemo.

It was never meant as a mobile phone, otherwise there would be a gms 
chip on it.
Besides, anyone can write a high quality gps navigation application if 
they want. Why leave it up to Nokia? The product is open enough to make 
any application possible. and now with qt4-maemo, it has never been easier.

 
 At the same time Samsung, Apple, Google made very fast progress
 with emerging technologies, multitouch products, high-quality integrated 
 navigation.

good for them. They are mobile phones...

 
 I can't blame you for a defeat, but frankly speaking, you showed no interest 
 to make Maemo developers the Champions - world-leaders in emerging 
 technologies and products, giving handicap to Apple and Samsung
 to make much faster progress.

Perhaps you haven't heard about maemo-qt? Try writing an app for your 
iPhone that you can simply recompile to run on linux, mac and windows...

 
 Lost chance by Nokia is not my personal opinion.

yes. it is.

 Lost chance is market analysis published by Bloomberg.

I think growing in market share from 38% to 40% is doing well. But this 
is a differing market to what the tablets are competing in, so your 
point is moot.

 
 just what Bloomberg says:

[snip some mumbojumbo personal opinions]


 The only chance for success is to have comm unity of developers really 
 integrated with main development strategies

again, see maemo-qt4. it is the future I think...

 and my suggestion to set up Think-Tank
 made some months ago
 was the right direction.

ok. so where is your thinktank and what documents have they produced?

 
 Wish you success anyway.
 (and pls don't delete my post and don't take it personally)

I wont take it personally, after all, it is just your opinion.

 I have a great idea for reducing the noise on the developers list caused
 by one troublesome poster: let's create a thread asking that he be
 removed, and have everyone on the list reply saying they agree!

Firstly: I deliberately did not *ask* for Darius to be removed. I rather hoped
enough people would reply and he'd get the message and either change his post
style to respect the wishes of his peers - or just leave. In the event he's
posted a request to leave - but then he's done that before.

Secondly: Dave, you tried to resolve this off-list and didn't get anywhere; we
know since Darius posted your private mail to a public list (a huge netiquette
no-no).

Thirdly: This thread was absolutely on-topic for a -developer list. Sometimes we
need to look after the group and a post to the list is the only way to address
the group. Darius causes a lot of irritation, has a reputation (apparently) for
being a troll, and rather than have a lot of people quietly being annoyed (or
loudly annoyed on IRC) I felt it was time to take a simple poll. That is, it
_was_ on topic until you (and now I) responded. Lets leave it at that.

Darius is more than welcome to engage in -developers topics (which he kinda did
for several months - although IIRC most of them seemed to be random requests for
other people to work on his pet project of the hour).
