Let me get this right - They announce a new phone on a new platform, which relies on community apps, give/loan devices to developers to get those apps going, and then refuse to host them. If that is correct then how schizophrenic is Nokia?

This was a Linux Foundation decision. In fact, Nokia is trying to help here.

The sub-thread on the future of maemo.org has been moved to "[Council] Council_Update-July_2011" as it is a continuation of that discussion. Please leave this thread for issues and ideas surrounding the MeeGo community and formeego.com.

One caveat: AppUp is going out of their way to support "mom and pop" operations. In fact AppUp is more of a metastore than a traditional app store.

isn't it more or less the implied and assumed idea of NOKIA that the Maemo community should move on to MeeGo / Harmattan?

Do you even know who the council members are?

BTW if you are ignoring lma, of all people, then you are clearly not interested in the opinions of core community members and developers.

if people can take some time reading mailinglist they explain very good (David and Thomas) why this was done(and actually needed imho) and also Davids blog:
