The Council approached Nokia about this: http://maemo.org/community/council/state_of_maemo-q12011-1/ Quim was going to speak to some people in Helsinki last week.

I would definitely like to be prepared. The pace at which Nokia is doing decisions with very long lasting consequences is frightening. At the moment I would not deny any possibility that they could pull the plug with very short notice time. I do not believe that they will do so any time soon, but I fear that we have to take the possibility that they could do it into account. In this sense we should not yet seek out for new governance, hosting, financing, etc. But we should be prepared for the day the announcement hits us. It would be great to have something like the Qt community contract in place, i.e. a formal agreement with Nokia what would happen with Maemo once they should decide against it. I am just afraid that we are now in a very bad negotiating position... In this sense I would also very much like to see that the community urges Nokia to free as much stuff as possible of Maemo5 (since it is of no direct commercial value for them anymore anyway) so that the platform can get a live on its own. And yes, I think this kind of discussion is also worth being spread to the developer list since the stability and availability of the platform itself is something that every developer is/should be concerned about. > Robin Burchell Cheers nils -- kernel concepts GbRTel: +49-271-771091-12 Sieghuetter Hauptweg 48 D-57072 Siegen Mob: +49-176-21024535 http://www.kernelconcepts.de ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Nokia has not backed out of Qt. Nokia has not fired all of the Maemo/MeeGo crew. Let's keep the conversations rooted in facts, please. There's enough noise already.

Can you please explain how Nokia's decision to sell off handling of Qt's commercial licensing relates to Maemo (or MeeGo) in any way? Please make sure you have read the actual source, not the hyperbolic headlines from the media (http://blog.qt.nokia.com/2011/03/07/nokia-and-digia-working-together/) > Will Maemo.org and its infrastructure be online for the foreseeable future? > I have a few Maemo apps (GTK-only) that I'm in the process of developing, > but if maemo.org and its repositories are going to be taken offline I don't > see a need to continue development. I don't see any signs that maemo.org will close down for the time being. There's still interest in the platform and so far no word on whether there are to be any change in Nokia's funding maemo.org. I do believe that there has been some talk about looking into alternatives for if/when that happens though. -- Robin Burchell http://rburchell.com ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Where do we go now?
Nokia has backed out of MeeGo and today they have backed out of QT. This leaves the Maemo distribution solely in the hands of the community. I would still like to contribute to Maemo (or MeeGo if a build is released), but I have some concerns. Will Maemo.org and its infrastructure be online for the foreseeable future? I have a few Maemo apps (GTK-only) that I'm in the process of developing, but if maemo.org and its repositories are going to be taken offline I don't see a need to continue development. What about the Maemo Council? Is it still relevant? Where's the best place to study about the community update repositories? If Maemo.org dies, there needs to be a web site to replace it to join together the Maemo community. P.S. I'm disappointed in Nokia for firing all of the Maemo/MeeGo crew and going a different direction. Hopefully those people find jobs soon. If any of you are still subscribed to this mailing list - Thank you for developing Maemo. With the right marketing, Maemo would have been just as big as any other mobile OS. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
Re: Kill connection dialog
Hi Thomas, d-feet is a nice tool! Unfortunately com.nokia.osso_connectivity_ui does not provide any functions/properties via dbus.

When QNetworkSessions's opened-SIGNAL is emitted (i.e. connection was successfully established) the timer is stopped. In the worst-case-scenario the 'connectivity-ui-conndlgs'-processes are killed every 2 minutes. Would be nice if there was a possibilty to communicate with the 'connectivity-ui-conndlgs' via dbus. That's not possible, is it? I'm not sure if there is a D-Bus API, but you could use a tool like d-feet[1] to examine the processes and objects connected to D-Bus and what functions/properties they provide. HTH.
