</div><br>Where does this come from? I haven't seen any announcement, and I'm not aware about any explicit decision of terminating funding to <a href="http://maemo.org" target="_blank">maemo.org</a>. Afaik there is currently a plan to keep sponsoring <a href="http://maemo.org" target="_blank">maemo.org</a> infra costs until the end of 2012 and no specific plans for 2013, yet.<br>

</font><br></blockquote><br>Hi<br><br>I copy below the part of the last council meeting where Matti Arias says funding will stop in 2012 and not to expect "any financial support" after 2012. Of course, we also have the 2/11 announcement and the "no future meego devices" announcement. For the sake of brevity, I will not go into all of the previous statements made to maemo council. Although it has been said funding will stop sometime in 2012, we remain hopeful that there is a general change of heart and Nokia will not stop its support of Maemo/MeeGo after the N9. <br>
<br>It is now mentioned by Bradley Kuhn that Nokia is looking to shut down a certain software project. <a href="http://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2011/08/18/open-source-not-panacea.html">http://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2011/08/18/open-source-not-panacea.html</a> <br>
<br>It could be Symbian. But does such a plan and fate await Maemo//MeeGo? I don't think <a href="http://maemo.org">maemo.org</a> should wait for an official announcement. <br><br>Rob<br><br></div>[11:45] <SD69> is it feasible to continue t.m.o. on a reduced budget?<br>

[11:48] <X-Fade> SD69: By that time we need to either come up with funding ourselves or shut thing down.<br>[11:49] <SD69> X-Fade: exactly<br>[11:49] <mairas> again, the amount of traffic is likely to be quite low by then so it should be perfectly realistic for community to purchase the server bandwidth themselves<br>
