No Terminal, email client or third party apps in MeeGo 1.1?

In a surprising turn of events, the next major release of MeeGo (1.1, which is due this month), may not ship with an email client (due to quality issues in it); a terminal to access the underlying OS or the ability to run any third party Qt applications. A number of bug reports in these critical pieces of software, and a bug in a common part of the UI, have been commented that they are "not targetted for 1.1". Carsten Munk, a member of the MeeGo ARM adaptation team, says on bug #7881, regarding the ability to run plain Qt apps: Frankly, it's a marketing disaster waiting to happen. MeeGo Handset UX will be a joke if we can 'only' run MTF applications and not Qt apps in MeeGo 1.1 Handset UX - ruining the goal of multiple verticals with a common API to write against. It's worth bearing in mind that this is MeeGo 1.1, which should not be confused with Nokia's "MeeGo 1.0 N", aka Harmattan, aka Maemo 6. This is also due in the final quarter of this year (although with a much less firm release date), but apparently does not suffer from this bug and, almost certainly(!), will ship with an email client and support for third party applications.

Sign-up for "Early Bird" events in Dublin the weekend before the MeeGo Conference

The MeeGo Conference is going to be held during from Monday to Wednesday in November. To facilitate attendance and enjoyment of the gathering by community members unable to attend the conference during the week, Attila Csipa , Dave Neary and others have started work organizing an "Early Bird" event for the weekend before the conference. Join the MeeGo Conference Early Bird events in Dublin on November 13th and 14th, right before the MeeGo Conference begins. Events include programming tutorials, introductions to Qt and MeeGo SDK, a geocache treasure hunt, and an application writing competition. This is an informal event handled by skilled people and anyone can get involved. The events will be held at the D4 Hotels, next to the Aviva Stadium. Signup is free but required for planning purposes. Details about the events, planning for the events and volunteer opportunities are located on the MeeGo wiki page.
