Other than the bizarre pro-Series 60 Nokia story has anyone written any kind of story of how the brief glory period of desktop Linux on the smartphone in 2006-2010 caught fire and fell into the sea?

@mjg59 IIRC, quite a few people from the #KDE community worked for Nokia in Germany back then on
#Maemo / #MeeGo
Maybe one of them is still around here and can provide some input here?

Jaffa,

@mjg59 There was "The Story of Nokia's #Maemo & #MeeGo" by Sampsa Kurri. Original link 404s, but it's archived: https://web.archive.org/web/20121030094913/http://taskumuro.com/artikkelit/the-story-of-nokia-meego

I also remember a series of blogs by another insider, talking of the wider context of what was going on at #Nokia. Memory (and Google) failing me though.
