The process was open for everybody in the maemo community, and if you don't like/use canola, that doesn't mean others don't use it.

So ProFusion is going to get a lot of benefit from this SoC stuff... so why didn't THEY sponsor SoC submissions instead of Nokia?
Nokia didn't sponsored anything, all the SoC initiative was done and led by community people, and the canola folks belong to that community, they, unlike others, have done things for the community, instead of only ranting in forums.

It feels like a slap in the face for us tablet users. What a waste.
Ranting is easy isn't it ?
As I said the process was open for everybody.
Why didn't you expressed your opinion in time ?
As somebody use to say in these forum "less talk, more action".
