Hi, <br><br>This thread makes me sad.<br><br>I really feel addressed as the primary person behind the "some people" comments made here; I am being accused of wanting to shut <a href="http://maemo.org" target="_blank">maemo.org</a> down, of wanting to burn the maemo house down behind me, etc. <br>
<br>I really want to stress again, as I have on T.M.O., that I have had a long and happy relationship with Maemo and <a href="http://maemo.org" target="_blank">maemo.org</a>, and I don't want to shut, wind or burn anything down. <br>

<br></blockquote><div><br>Alan,<br> <br></div></div>You are the one who started a thread called "The end is coming...". In
it, you said "the maemo community is (almost) nothing without Nokia" and
argued that "the best thing the Maemo community can do over the next
year
and a half is to transition to the MeeGo community." And you have argued
against people at <a href="http://maemo.org">maemo.org</a> organizing themselves, voluntarily. I don't know if you
are the "primary person" or not, but hey you did put yourself out there.<br>
<br>
You stated your opinion - you can own it or not now, that's up to you. For me, I hope you continue to debate without any feeling that it somehow diminishes your long and outstanding contributions to the community and that the same will go for others, because whether it's comfortable or not, people need to be free to debate the central issue of <a href="http://maemo.org">maemo.org</a>'s future. No one has made any personal or name calling attacks of you that I'm aware of, and I hope it stays that way. <br>
