Could someone explain what exactly have Jolla (device) to do with Maemo's FB page and Maemo as a whole? Do we get paid to advertise them?

Don't be frustrated that we do not let the community die just because it got abandoned...

Because the company brand changed? All the MeeGo/Harmattan talk happens here why not have the sailfish/Jolla community with us as well?
We need to move on with things, that does not mean we abandon our past.
The company changed but the people are the same, their interest is the same, no?! If Nokia had continued their work it would be Maemo7/MeeGo2 and it would happen here... now the brand changed... and it is called Sailfish.

@chemist you on drugs?
Just rename the FB page to sailfish or whatever makes you feel good.

Seriously, sailfish is not even close to maemo :mad:
It might have a few people in it, but it's based on mer not maemo.

Your confused
maemo != meego != sailfish

Hey, don't worry about maemo dying...
Jolla/sailfish will most likely die before maemo does! :eek:

You've sold out to the latest and trendiest.
Poor maemo page :(

First of all it's not shellfish.


Secondly, Mer is MeeGo rebranded which is Moblin's base and Maemo's upper levels. It is as close to maemo as it can get, possibly even closer than whatever contraption Nokia would spew out as MeeGo 2. It's made by the same people, as chemist said, who did maemo and the old mer.

Don't stick to names, it's the code that matters. It might very well not succeed, but if we don't support them who will? They are some of this very community and they built the only mobile linux that respects upstream instead of letting MeeGo die. I just hope you are proved wrong.

After all think about why you do like maemo. Not because of what it is, because it frankly is a mess of a dependency spaghetti with parts of etch and sarge, closed binary blobs from nokia and GUI apps so tangled that Nokia didn't even bother to sort it out, and built a giant metapackage with everything as a dependency. We all like it because it is so close to what we want. It is so close to a full computer in the pocket, it has a proper package manager, a proper display server, support for GTK and Qt so that most of the desktop apps can be compiled, fully functional terminal and so on.

Mer ticks more boxes than maemo in this regard. It is a proper distribution with less castrated/patched tools and free from binary blobs. Apps might be closed source but that was always the case with maemo with the added "benefit" that removing the apps destroyed the system.

That is why I see that the obvious future of the mobile linux world is there.

And you can run hildon-desktop on mer if you so desire :)
