Absolute rubbish.

We now have $7000 of server hardware. We will soon have maemo.org, the maemo trademarks, the maemo website, the maemo infrastructure, and as much of the maemo software as possible.

This is possible only because HiFo exists. If HiFo didn't exist, we wouldn't even be able to read this message now.

The people who founded and began to run HiFo Board are friends, and on the same side as the community - but you can't see that, you go around repeatedly insulting and calling names like "emperor" instead. Negative politics suck. The people who founded Hildon Foundation and worked to save maemo when other people did not (including the name callers) deserve to be treated better.
