No more "maemo". Maybe something like mobilelinux.org would be used. I've been thinking about this community's future too cause it's one of the biggest reasons why I bought this phone (the open source community, that is)...

I just saw that this thread is a Sticky! It makes me even sadder... Makes feel this is coming really soon
If that would happen.... oh my. Not Canonical.One of their many issues is; they can not even QA their base distro correctly.

(I was burned by their sloppy integration too many times)

well, i don't have a clue about what your issue is (blame that on me being a clueless user who just recently slapped Ubuntu on my laptop). i just thought they have the MONEY.

So you basically just sell your *** for the monies?

My issues had been mostly technical stuff (****ed up distro-upgrades with new kernels that were not properly integrated during upgrade, their hilarious PulseAudio integration saga, Kubuntu having really bad KDE integration, amongst others like major regressions that creeped in every release), but some of those do also apply.

Had a look-out for a rolling-release KDE-based Debian then, and living happily with aptosid (former sidux) for ~3 years now.

There is already council candidate who propose merging with debian.

not really, just don't know what the reasons are. for regular users ubuntu looks good and since it's Canonical in the background they seem nice and sparkly to the clueless too.

regular users and new converts are part of the community too right? take my ideas as coming that side.

i will be using my N900 till it is dead, am in so love with this device i dont even think of replacing it. i cant find any other device in market that will be fun to play with in terms of it openness. i was looking forward for N950, but they will not sell to end user. i love this community so much i visit every day without a miss even though we dont have new things happening. Thanks for every thing.
i will keep my N900 till i die, so i can show my grand children, how i am proud to use and have N900.

I can't vote anyway, being a long-time lurker (since 11/2010) but just registered in July which is one month short of the requirement.

It's a bit off the current stream of discussion but I wanted to share this. Many people here espessially older and wiser members remeber the itt days and want to go back to something tablet-oriented. But most of new members came here because of a phone, the N900. I know it's not only a phone, but it is still pocketable and can be used as a primary phone. I use the N900 as a tablet too and I could use a tethered N8xx but todays tablets are mostly over the 7" mark and that makes them not pocketable. I, and many here I believe are after phones (think that todays smartphones have screens about the same size as earlier NIT's)

For these reasons I urge everybody to have phones (as in pocketable) in mind too when shaping future decisions.
