[maemo-developers] Where do we go now?

Nokia has backed out of MeeGo and today they have backed out of QT. This 
leaves the Maemo distribution solely in the hands of the community. I 
would still like to contribute to Maemo (or MeeGo if a build is 
released), but I have some concerns.

Will Maemo.org and its infrastructure be online for the foreseeable 
future? I have a few Maemo apps (GTK-only) that I'm in the process of 
developing, but if maemo.org and its repositories are going to be taken 
offline I don't see a need to continue development.

What about the Maemo Council? Is it still relevant?

Where's the best place to study about the community update repositories? 
If Maemo.org dies, there needs to be a web site to replace it to join 
together the Maemo community.


P.S. I'm disappointed in Nokia for firing all of the Maemo/MeeGo crew 
and going a different direction. Hopefully those people find jobs soon. 
If any of you are still subscribed to this mailing list - Thank you for 
developing Maemo. With the right marketing, Maemo would have been just 
as big as any other mobile OS.
