I still think this is way too wordy and people are missing the point, so let me summarize and oversimplify the issue to make sure that people know what you are asking for: * This proposal is to add Maemo proprietary binaries for Nokia devices onto the community OBS to allow for Fremantle and Harmattan build targets to ease the transition from Maemo to MeeGo. * However, the community OBS is hosted on meego.com infrastructure and was intended to be used to build open source software developed by the community. * David is asking for an exception to the policy of only allowing open source code in the community OBS as a one-time "grandfathering in" situation for the Maemo community. In other words, this is a one-time request and others vendors would not be able to place proprietary binaries on the community OBS. > > I don't know who gets to make this decision.

Actually, the TSG charter is not just technical decisions, but overall governance of the entire project: "The Technical Steering Group sets the direction, tone, and vision for MeeGo, speaks on behalf of the project, and is responsible for project level decisions and overall leadership." Looking at our governance model (http://meego.com/about/governance), I'm not sure who "owns" this decision, but I'll try to find out whether this needs to go to the TSG or should be resolved at a lower level in the project governance.
