Well I don't like this statement at all.<br><br>Don't get me wrong, I can guess (some of) the reasons behind the plain<br>words. But then I wonder whether there is really any transparency in the<br>development of Neo/OpenMoko? What does it mean, being silent and talking in
<br>riddles seemingly for our own benefit? What about the collaborative FOSS<br>effort, community involvement, etc?<br><br>Br<br>Michele</blockquote><div><br>I agree entirely regarding transparency etc. but there are two distinct problems here. FIC's responsibility to their employees and FIC's commitment to Neo/Openmoko.
<br><br>Re-allocation in large companies can be tricky and stressful for everyone involved if not handled properly. I imagine Sean is working hard to get everything he feels he needs to really pick up the pace on the Neo hardware.
<br><br>That said, given that we accept the Neo hardware is not vapourware, the community has plenty to be getting on with in terms of Openmoko. Lets keep faith in the passion that Sean has shown so far and keep providing encouragement for the core team.
