No...I guess Microsoft has the source now, if not deleted. Our hope is a leak!

Start it. I'm with you!

Unfortunately, this is the view of our Jolla fanboy admin, so basically it's a dead end to discuss here at tmo: https://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?...&postcount=447

Anyway. Here you have some info...https://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?...&postcount=384
First of all, I said about Nokia/MS-owned parts of the system. If they decide to open only the user interface - it's still fine, better than in the current situation.

The Community Council is the right body to represent the Maemo community. Not me.

Besides, the times have changed a lot since 2011. Back in 2011 the N9 was released.
HP didn't open source the webOS things until they decided to kill the OS.

Edit:
Yes I know that will never happen because Nokia, if at all, jump to Android. And then you need a device or a manufacture adopting this os, maintain it and so on.
Yes, but with libhybris over there they could use the same hardware for both MeeGo and Android. So it all boils down to "how many people want it"

Not cancelling my initial post request, but adding another, in parallel.

Community Council: can you please put this petition on a banner? It's more important to me than a banner advertising CSSU most people know about.
