What i DO object to is the way you and carsten keep coming on here ramming down everyones throats how good MeeGo is and trying to put right every single adverse comment on this forum if it knocks MeeGo in any way or form.
If that's how you feel, then that is unfortunate. From my point of view we've had to argue against you because you're playing down the state of MeeGo N900 CE, basically saying it's rubbish and we've not been doing a good job. Which is clearly offensive and also misinformation.

Now ramming down peoples throats, I think that's quite harsh. We publicise our progress because we're passionate about what we do and enjoy what we do. If you want to stifle enthusiasm then I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to do that.

This is basically what I'm talking about, you clearly don't know the state of MeeGo N900 CE. And we have images we can install on on eMMC.

The openness is not just about source code, it is about open discussion of every aspect of the MeGo project. As a meego community member, you have inclusion into every aspect of how the OS is being built, you can make your opinions known and argue. The transparency of MeeGo is what makes it open, not just the source code.

Stskeeps is under an NDA, he said he can not help wrt divulging any kind of insight into how drivers work for N900. This is a legal obligation and there holding back. He legally can not contribe to maemo like that. In fact it's not just maemo, it's anythingother than o, he couln't help NITdroid, for instance.

So now you work this out for yourself and you might just realise something in the order of resentment will creep in dont you think?, i started a poll for Maemo and it clearly showed the current interests BUT it got closed down for some strange reason.

Having said all that i do agree talk of MeeGo BUT please keep it sensible and not blow it out of proportion ok.

Everything i have said on this post is said without malice or trolling in any way or form.
Can't be bothered to discuss any of that rubbish, no offence.
