Re: PETITION to Nokia to release the full source code of the Maemo OS to this Community.
 
If I were Nokia I wouldn't open code that makes N900 a Nokia if it meant 42 virgins - and call it a stench or an aroma, but N900 smells of Nokia like ... well, I'll spare you the comparison.

Instead of pushing for the obviously impossible, a better use of this community's time would be to push for documentation that was previously scarce or to push a few capable individuals into the yes-list to add a few things.

It wouldn't violate any individuality of Nokia UI if a few people (or even one) could make small patches to closed source bits to allow interoperability with open software. Especially unofficial, unsupported patches.

I'm just throwing an example here (since I can't code for Linux); Phone loading its face from file, so the look can be configurable. Or a few lines that allows replacing alarm UI.

Since I'm shooting blind here, I don't know if it's not a matter of overwriting a binary to replace that joke that rings when alarms happen. It chokes, it cuts alarm short, it dies if overlapped, etc. It's just a window.

I'm just saying, one MAG on the right list is worth 50 million "yes" and "no" in this poll. Heck, 10 bucks in a donation is probably worth more. Heck, one thank you is likely to be worth more.

The reqest could be refined by breaking it down into a list of the areas of functionality where source code or system-access is necessary i.e What source should be released. Many items on this list exist as wontfix and open on the Maemo bug site. For each item on the list there needs to be an associated:
  1. Why
  2. How
  3. To whom
Very eloquent and well thought out post. Perhaps we should leave this an an exercise for the OP as he feels so strongly about it.

Abill - would you like to go through the buglist and identify a list of sourcecode items you would like to see released, in order of priority, with reasoned arguments as to why, how and to whom?

What if we just made our own HW drivers? Aren't the Nitdroid ones open-source?

You need to be asking the Community not me ok.

I started the Poll and the Poll is entirely for the Community so please direct any questions and remarks TO the Community.

You are our self proclaimed leader so step up to the plate and go through the buglist and identify a list of sourcecode items you would like to see released, in order of priority, with reasoned arguments as to why, how and to whom.
That is actual work you know, something that takes time, effort and might result with something useful, not this dumb to oblivion poll of yours.

Pretty please.
