R.I.P. messages for our ex friend
 

Hi all!

I have read all the news/posts related to this sad day and I'm stlll love my mobile computer..Unfortunately I didn't had enough time to dig into Qt/GTK world or to be active into this great community.

I'm a Linux Sysadmin/Java Developer and I see many people like me out there....I love the fact that I can write perl/shell scripts or even java apps and web apps on the top of tomcat (using arm's jre ) on this unique device.

I would like to see this community as active as it is today for a long period of time.I hope that maybe one day another brave company will create a similar device for such a small market share.

R.I.P. Nokia, you gave a great device to the linux geeks community.

Lots of people agree with you (including me). Please see the existing thread and stop making life hard for the moderators by posting yet another.

Sorry ...I was sad and angry.

just use twitter, post insults @selop
he reads it... lol

Re: R.I.P. messages for our ex friend
 

I don't really mind this news, Nokia dropped the N900 a long time ago,
it's this community that has made it a device to really care about.
it will continue on as long as there is a community that want to carry on supporting it.
Just wish they had seen the potential too

long live TMO

Let's hope they don't decide to close this website.

Re: R.I.P. messages for our ex friend
 

Too right, that would be a big shame .
but there always somewhere to go on the internet...

Re: R.I.P. messages for our ex friend
 

Well... supporting all of it, except the closed-source parts like the drivers.. the media player, the calendar, and all the other parts that SHOULD be installable apps but you can't remove without breaking everything.

If Nokia were smart, they would at least save some face and actually OPEN all these things up. ...or at least stop putting up barriers to them opening up for the community to support themselves.

Sorry I'm late. Did I miss anything? ;)

Re: R.I.P. messages for our ex friend
 

Hmmm... not much.

Just a whole bunch of nothing today. In fact.. I'll let you catch up with the nothing going on first.

Oh, I seriously cannot wait.

Re: R.I.P. messages for our ex friend
 

HAHAH! I love it. "Negatron Dan" tag. Highly appropriate--I even sport a Decepticon logo on some of my things and on my cars. ;) Truthfully, on all topics Maemo lately, I'll happily take that nickname. :)

I was being sarcastic. Only an idiot like STARSCREAM wouldn't know what has happened thus far.

Re: R.I.P. messages for our ex friend
 

I'm innocent actually on that one... but I love it.

Re: R.I.P. messages for our ex friend
 

By the by, on all of this--where is the Maemo council and maemo.org? Are they responding to any of this so far? I don't even know who's on the Maemo community council anymore without going out to look it up. They don't really come out to talk much anymore--certainly less than they used to. All the interesting old ITT fellows like Texrat and GeneralAntilles don't really come out to talk much anymore. Hell, PenguinBait's gone off into the OpenPandora wilds. I've gone off to join the Android army, but I still poke back in (for now).

Where are all the good folks that have been around Maemo a while and where's the council?

Remember--if communications have been cut off, it can mean only one thing! Invasion! :)

Re: R.I.P. messages for our ex friend
 

You two need your own forum sub section.

Re: R.I.P. messages for our ex friend
 

You'd like to voyeur just such a sub section, wouldn't you?

Re: R.I.P. messages for our ex friend
 

Ha, I think the two of them should be running the show.... except now there's no show to run :(

And I was being sarcastic too. Fat Starscream approves.

NOKIA intending to still support N900?
They're either LYING or they're STUPID.

Re: R.I.P. messages for our ex friend
 

You got a GTab too. Fascinating little thing ain't it.

Sympathies for and job losses aside, I think this partnership is going to be interesting, if they get it right.

Re: R.I.P. messages for our ex friend
 

I think so. :)
