TMO <http://talk.maemo.org> forum started being part of maemo.org more than 3 years ago with funding from Nokia. Previously it was part of the web site Internet Tablet Talk <http://www.internettablettalk.com/>, privately founded by Reggie Suplido and dedicated to the initial Nokia Maemo devices. The Internet Tablet Talk <http://www.internettablettalk.com/> first and TMO<http://talk.maemo.org/> later, have been the glue for this amazing community that we have, providing an efficient way of communication between developers and end users, not just a place for discussion and comments. Reggie has been the administrator and owner of forums since the very beginning, and thanks to him a lot has been accomplished. However, now that Nokia is stopping activities around Maemo and Meego, continuation of forums was at risk. The cost of maintenance for current host<http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1227233#post1227233> solution was too expensive ($468/month) to be funded by the Hildon Foundation<http://www.hildonfoundation.org>. Continuing in the same way was clearly difficult so migration to a cheaper solution was somehow mandatory. Finally, Reggie has decided to donate the forum to the Hildon Foundation: *"I will be stepping down as the TMO administrator effective January 1, **2013. I have decided that I will be donating the database to the foundation."* *"I saw my name mentioned in one of the board meetings about the possibility of becoming the admin of maemo.org. I appreciate the offer but I have to decline as of this time."* * *
