I will respect Quim's request to have the discussion on talk.maemo.org and
will post my substantive reply there.  However, as there are some people on
these lists who do not read talk.maemo.org regularly, I want to encourage
you to join that discussion.

My view is that this is a critical issue for us in maemo.org because of the
damage it does to the acceptance and success of the whole Maemo platform,
which will affect the number of open source developers and applciations
avaialable for the platform and the growth of the community.  As I made
clear in my council campaign, I see the commercial success of the platform
and the effective working of both Nokia Forum and Ovi as important issues
for all of us in the free software side of the community.

A reminder... this discussion is happening in:

Please join the discussion there if it matters to you.
