Sure, this happens, but when misunderstandings are a common
occurance I take issue with it.<br>

It would be a good test to see how well Google can translate. "I
want to have lunch with your puppy." ;)<br>

I gave it my best shot for these two years. Yes, I joined with the
N900 crowd. It wasn't until this last year that I have seen things
go sour. <br>

<div>Well. engadget liked it :) This bit isn't really a community
issue. It is a common misinterpretation that <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://meego.com">meego.com</a>
has something to do with devices. No so much - It only makes the
open source MeeGo reference SW that hardware vendors can take
and differentiate.<br>

I am aware of what MeeGo is. I don't see anyone jumping up and using
MeeGo though. Using: multiple devices on major markets. I see
putting my time into Fedora ARM as a better alternative.<br>

To me it seems that you're venting your
frustration/disappointment on Nokia not delivering according to
your expectations on the community which of course is the wrong
target so it's kinda expected that you won't be getting a warm
welcome from the community. Why? The community is pretty much
people like you and me. Don't blame us for things that we
haven't done and are not even in the position to do.<br>
<br>
I'm just as ignorant finnish software engineer and I maintain
packages in and do small applications for MeeGo in my spare
time. See, we're not that different.</div>

My frustration is partly at Nokia, but some (note: some) members I
have interacted with have largely left a bad taste in my mouth.
Maybe I just have bad social skills, but don't all engineers? :P<br>

It's good to hear from you, Timo. Thanks for the reply. Please don't
view my e-mail as an attack on you personally. There have been
positive moments in my time in Maemo. It has just fallen off here at
the end and I wanted to vent.<br>
