Hello, Without reading the entire thread, I don't think this is the way to go. The Maemo OS and the N900 already went out as hacker's platform. Turning the Maemo.org thing into a paying service would take away one of the largest marketing points for the OS platform. That in mind, ads and other monetary devices should be used without hesitation if that's what we need to hold this community alive and kicking. We do have rather unique audience that I am sure many advertisers would like to reach.
I get people asking me for a recommendation to get the device still, please don't make me have to tell them that they need to pay for the maemo repos and the rest of the .org web presence offers. The strong free ecosystem around it for some made the difference between getting other platform or taking my recommendation and embrace with love the rough edges. Thanks! -Sivan On Tue, Jan 25, 2011 at 6:04 PM, Felipe Crochik <fel...@crochik.com> wrote: > I wasn’t aware of the discussion that happened on talk.maemo.org until > “realsportscar”(FastSMS) told me about and, after reading it, found it could > be of interest to other developers. > > > > This is a link to my post on the thread but the entire thread presents an > interesting picture: > http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=927439&postcount=89 > > > > Felipe > > _______________________________________________ > maemo-developers mailing list > maemo-developers@maemo.org > https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers > > _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
