First you have to be completely silent on the subject. Eventually, when people begin to notice and start asking for code, spend years discussing the process for opening instead of the opening requests themselves. Then make people jump through hoops and repeat the same requests in different ways, assign a community member to process the new requests, but ignore his recommendations. Then, when you haven't really satisfied any of the requests but most of them can be ticked off because they have become irrelevant through obsolescence, pretend everything's fine except perhaps a couple of cases that won't be satisfied for "business reasons". Then pronounce the platform dead, give it a new name and a paint job and tell people to start all over again there. Then hold a meeting with the community council and tell them you can still open some stuff up, if only the requests could be a bit more compelling. Finally, pull out of the new platform before you even release a product.

Here's a story in pictures:

Nokia's slogan shouldn't be the pedo-palmgrabbing image with the slogan, "Connecting People"... It should be one hand open pleadingly with another hand giving the middle finger and the more apt slogan, "Potential Unrealized." --DR

Cept they've never promised the same level of openness from the outset.
So it doesn't look as bad...
Still, on-balance, MeeGo is apparently doing better than Android.

But clearly not up to the standard we were all originally led to believe.
This may be an opportunity to get some folk to chime-in to a thread I started a while ago.

If Gtk+ I say write apps in C is way off 2011.
C is nice language for lowlevel stuff but def. not for appwriting.
