Re: PETITION to Nokia to release the full source code of the Maemo OS to this Community.
 

@joerg_rw: wholly agree, regarding which groups have received the code. Pretty disgraceful behaviour and a perhaps an indicator of why profits are not better - look after your current customers before you seek new ones (bird in the hand and all that). Yes, it would be quicker and probably cheaper [for Nokia etc.] to release the code if it's as rubbish as is reported.
*Don't anyone bash me for my comments on Nokia's attitude - my facetiousness is because I think many of us seem to be acquiring brick imprints on our foreheads; but bone is stronger than stone (in tension and rotation, anyway)!

One idea might be to campaign for equal status - repeat this petition with something like "Any code released by Nokia and device partners to develop Meego, should also be released to develop/maintain existing versions Maemo" - even if only released to certain people with NDAs? Just an idea - what do people think? Please reword in a way that's most likely to achieve the result. I'm keen to iron out the "wontfix in M5 but M6 will work" bugs, where there's no h/w limitation, so something to include that would be good.

@texrat - There are areas where the N900 does not perform as advertised. There is a sliding scale of problem areas from distinctly dodgy through to usable but buggy. Either way, these need to be fixed and releasing code might be a cheaper means of doing this.
How can action be taken to address these cases?

Edit:
@thashku - that's what I meant. I'll have a look through the Opera bugs and see if it's mentioned or I'll file one.

Poll count now stands at 492 for and 20 against.

Why the 20 have voted no for progression on the N900 is baffling.

@Demolition The Poll does not need to be repeated as it is here for your idea's to be put forward, any help from anyone is welcome here.

Say....why would iPhone fans want source code from Nokia? :D

In case you are curious: I don't think you are talking about a morality boost as in the first paragraph quoted, or a moral boost, as in the other paragraph quoted.

The word you are looking for is "morale".

Though I don't suppose they need a morale boost either. They are doing a great job; they must know that and they must feel good about it already, without whatever boosting you want to provide.

I don't suppose that slinging words around randomly without regard to their meaning, implications, or consequences helps the community. Let's wait six months and tote up the benefits this poll unleashes.

You should consider running for presidency in the USA, you have that Bush quality.

Thank God you didn't ask for Obama's quality, otherwise you'd be executed at where you live while he'd be looking at your panic face on a big screen remotely.

A laugh is a good way to start the day, thanks!
