I know this has to be very low on everyone's priority list these days... but I have to admit that honestly, while others fight deb/rpm-wars, the one thing that really bugs me about MeeGo is its .com domain.
With Maemo, it was very nice to have both maemo.nokia.com for the part that was directed by corporate interests and maemo.org for the community stuff.
It made sense to have it this way. It's a signal. It shows who you are. MeeGo's signal is .com. I wish we had meego.org. That's not gonna happen, though, is it? Somebody either doesn't understand what TLDs say - or the TLD was chosen on purpose to say just that.
I agree and don't undertsand the choice at all, unless there was a squatter on meego.org. Altough with Intel's and Nokia's combined resources even that problem would totally trivial.
Hey, could this be a reason to ditch the 'Meego' handle as well, then. That's a win-win!
I think it's not possible anymore, and it would be a huge loss..
everyone from the not-maemo-world is now focussed on meego...
I like it with lower letter but don't like it as MeeGo...

I'm getting used to it. I thought it was gross when I first read it, but that was only because of my own poor pronunciation... I stressed the "Go", thinking the mobility part was what should be emphasized with the name. When I heard how they pronounced it on the videos (like amigo), it sounded much better.... still not good, but better. Now I almost (!) like it. The only reason I'll always prefer Maemo is the fact that I'm so proud that I know how to pronounce it - while my friends and workmates all say "Mämo" - Maemo makes me feel superior.
I just hope we'll have a meego.org eventually. We shouldn't go com. (Oh.. Can't we register weego.org for the community? guess not.)
before deciding on a name, they should have made sure the domains are available and buy them.
especially when taking into consideration that meego is an openly developed project a .org should have been a priority when deciding on the name.
i'll take this opportunity to mention that over the past few months i became very devoted to the maemo brand (almost tattooed it on my forehead 8-) i'll have real hard time letting it go, and moving from maemo.org to any other website.
i know quim already opened another thread on the subject (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=44977), but i'd like to suggest:
maybe meego.com will be the more commercial site (like maemo.nokia.com) and maemo.org will be the community part behind meego? that way we could all stay here.. at home.
maybe later the theme / logo can be change to say "maemo / meego" to suggest support for devices still running maemo.
this idea may be stupid or problematic, but i thought, why not raise it.
- Maemo makes me feel superior.
