And I'm not trying to sound bitter, but it does *feel* like the council was superfluous in this marriage. In general we were told we couldn't be told anything.

I was asked not to speculate and honored that-- which is okay, because I would have been drowned out by everyone else today.

But it's obvious some had knowledge. Moderators were requesting many changes to the forum that were said to make sense but went unimplemented nonetheless. So Reggie had to know, at least.

You're worried? I'm looking at a half knitted maemo.org scarf, and a complete knitting pattern. What the hell am I going to do with all this orange and grey wool now?

At least it looks like I won't be eating an N900 now, though. *whew*

Jayne Cobb could use an orange scarf to go with his orange hat.

Being that Nokia is a big, well established company I would assume they have already planned out how this transition will happen and I don't personally see their interest in having a relationship with a 'Council'.

For some time I have actually thought of the Council as an entity that validates themselves rather than actually being needed.

Well, I must disagree with this statement, the council looks out for the community. I put in my two cents on decisions that were being made that effected the community where I felt my opinion should be heard.

The community council does good work.

Now however I must agree that Nokia could care less about the council, and this latest move is nothing new. Its not that I think that the council should have some say about the merger which is based on a companies business decisions.

However having to hear it from another community member as I sit by dumbfounded with no heads up from the community I am putting MY TIME in on is a large pile of CRAP.

I validated the community council benefit, when I was not on it, and decisions were made about my community that I did NOT like, or get to have a say on.

I guess I never saw (or educated myself maybe) about what all this good work was. To me it always seemed like stuff that some forum moderators could do and anything else could/should be done by Nokia staff.

The whole "Nokia cares about the community - and community development" is sort of a mote point at this time I think and I'd be surprised to see anyone willing to step up and spend their time on such an initiative again.
