Well reporters talked to employees in ulm.
The engineers working at ulm are disappointed since they were very enthusiastic about the project they were working on (meltemi). Also people working there are from 30+ countries.
Member of management flew in with security guards (don't know name).
Elop sent a personal video message, where he said thank you etc., obviously the result was some laughter and boos.
One employee says he and many of his co-workers are convinced nokia will be dead (literally translated: go belly up) in a year or so.
Also from here:

I left out the details...

Nothing has leaked so far, and folks have been disgruntled at Nokia for their Maemo decisions for years. This decision will mean that the Harmattan folks and Meltemi folks will be vocal in the end over this; nothing will be leaked.

the community could obviously use it for a better purpose...

You need also really to think about how it all happened. One day you think about "tomorrow I'll do this and that", then somebody calls...
Anyways, believe it or not, this was unelegant, unprofessional, unpolite and really something that demonstrated (not that there was any need to demonstrate it further) complete lack of vision of Nokia.
I hope bright days will come, specially for qt, but far far far away from Nokia shores.

His source was The Register IIRC...
I mean it's likely they did something like that, but I don't know if we can say with 100% certainty yet.

I'd rather have Maemo leaked. It's more pertinent to my needs than Meltemi - no hardware released for that yet.
