Harmattan while being active now, doesn't look to me like way forward in the long run, since Nokia themselves aren't interested in it. Mer derivatives on the other hand have more potential, and that's a truly community effort.Shmerlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14404784573198104036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145140879520785870.post-36256282386589366692012-01-02T16:20:59.410+01:002012-01-02T16:20:59.410+01:00All this is the result of Nokia and Intel betrayin...All this is the result of Nokia and Intel betraying the Meego project (i.e. it started the transition, but never finished it). I agree that it's very annoying and fragmented. Oh, and you of course forgot to mention Mer/Nemo wiki:<br /><br /><a href="http://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/" rel="nofollow">http://wiki.merproject.org/wiki</a><br /><a href="http://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Nemo" rel="nofollow">http://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Nemo</a><br /><br />I proposed several times to consolidate more around merproject resource, but that requires some manpower to maintain a forum and etc. (and you'll complain about the 3rd forum right?-) ) But I guess no one else was interested so far.Shmerlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14404784573198104036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145140879520785870.post-84323991684351481982011-12-28T15:14:18.937+01:002011-12-28T15:14:18.937+01:00People refer to maemo council in their comments. ...People refer to maemo council in their comments. It is true as a council member, there is not much we can do. I tried to warn about fragmentation when apps.formeego.org was being set up - http://forum.meego.com/showthread.php?t=4051&page=4 - but to no avail. Nokia wanted to position the N9 as a Meego device rather than maemo so this is what we get. In a little time, after a consensus develops that meego.com won't be around and the open mode issue is solved, I think council may be able to say something to help consolidate the situation as you suggest.SD69https://www.blogger.com/profile/03509606601039758484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145140879520785870.post-82368084133348984342011-12-28T11:26:47.221+01:002011-12-28T11:26:47.221+01:00To answer your questions, maemo.org has funding fr...To answer your questions, maemo.org has funding from Nokia through 2012. There have been preliminary discussions of Nokia funding or community self-funding for 2013, with nothing decided. Meego.com is not exactly open governance, so there is no answer. I suspect that it will be shut down when the Tizen machine ramps up, probably 1H2012.SD69https://www.blogger.com/profile/03509606601039758484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145140879520785870.post-41849858309191172132011-12-27T22:58:54.846+01:002011-12-27T22:58:54.846+01:00Jaffa: Yep, the Council could at least actively &q...Jaffa: Yep, the Council could at least actively "endorse" a specific forum after some discussions / weighting pros and cons.
