how about we stop having discussions about meetings and actually decide to try to work together for our users?<br><br>something each of us can work well towards.<br>there does seem like there are resources available and people to do things.<br>
what is lacking however is one thing specific and concrete for everyone to pull together and work towards.<br><br>Maemo used to have organic flexibility and the ability to both react and innovate to new challenges and it seems to have all but bricked up the store and given up.<br>
<br>We have a community who are day in day out creating new innovative applications for our devices and we have had just ~ 30% INCREASE in downloads this month alone (from 20 to 28million!).<br><br>More applications are coming and each generation builds on the last, so getting new clean good quality applications onto <a href="http://maemo.org">maemo.org</a> gets easier day by day.<br>
<br>This helps Meego in the long run because some of those applications are Qt based and getting them tested and validated to the high <a href="http://maemo.org">maemo.org</a> standards will put them into good stead to be usable on meego.<br>
<br>I sent Dave a mail a couple of days ago, regarding something concrete deliverable and potentially great for everyone involved (the community especially), if he thinks its worthwhile perhaps it can be opened up for wider discussion.<br>

September & October.<br>

<br>
</div>I agree, 50 hours is not much - and just following mailing lists &<br>
forums could potentially eat most of it.<br>
<br>
Like I said, for the past 2 months, I haven't done much Maemo work, so<br>
for Sept - December, it will actually work out more like 75 hours a<br>
month, which isn't too bad.<br>
