Dave & all, Sorry that this came bit from behind trees, I was supposed to have blog post done some time before this to explain it bit.
But really, like Quim said, there is nothing new on this if you take a look to what Carsten has already done for N900 and for MeeGo in general. My name has been there just to highlight that Nokia is supporting this officially and now when that should be clear anyway, it just the right thing to give the honor to the guy tht it belongs. I am just simple team leader and my role is to make sure that Carsten has all the support from our side that he needs. And as said, at least during this year N900 continues to have same role in MeeGo than before, and now we are getting to stage that things really start to work and adding features is getting easier and easier. But more about that in my upcoming post.

In general, (just to repeat what I said to you on IRC) I don't think it's good to have an entry on a meeting agenda, a 2 minute discussion at a real-time meeting, and one line in minutes be the only way that fairly major changes like this get announced. I would have liked to see it proposed & explained here (or on maemo-community) first. If the TSG is about ratifying things that have already been discussed, then this definitely deserved some discussion, no? > Nothing new? > >> Does it mean that Nokia are basically moving on, and >> leaving Carsten in place as a life-buoy for the N900 version? > > No, it means that the guy that is doing a great job gets the > corresponding role explicitly assigned. Good to hear it. > But "casual observers" were saying that the MeeGo meritocracy requires > key roles being taken by non-Nokia and non-Intel contributors... And if that's what's happening, great. If this were associated with a reduction in resources for MeeGo on N900 on the part of Nokia, that would be a concern. If that's not happening, then great - I'm glad we cleared this up before it got to the stage of being a misunderstanding. >> Can those involved elaborate on what this would mean for N900 MeeGo >> users, please? > > For N900 users? Definitely nothing. N900 *MeeGo* users. Anyway, thanks for the information.
