Like the Chinese proverb says: "May you live in interesting times"

Thanks to little clues it occurred to me just before the formal announcement that this was the big surprise, but I still wasn't prepared for the impact.  Now it's sinking in.  There are so many big-picture pros and yet some personal cons, too.  What does it mean to those who had worked into leadership positions?  Does the karma carry over (and I don''t just mean a number)?  Do we try to set something up that draws equal representation from the Moblin and Maemo communities to facilitate a decent transition?

I'm excited and scared at the same time.  Maemo has always been a rollercoaster, but it just became part of the Texas Giant... ; )
