MeeGo�s Community Woes: Improvement in 2011?

[ Thanks to for this link. ]

"When one open source developer complains about corporate influence on a project, it's not necessarily a danger sign. It's a big community full of a diverse range of opinions, and some folks are easily agitated or provoked to anger when things don't go entirely their way — and generally do a good job of broadcasting their displeasure. So I take it with an enormous grain of salt when one developer complains about a project.
