Sotiris Makrygiannis, who has held a variety of positions inside Nokia, most recently as director of applications for MeeGo, has left the company this week. CEO Stephen Elop has made it clear on a number of occasions since announcing the company's Windows Phone strategy last year that MeeGo (and specifically the Harmattan flavor employed by Nokia on the N9) had been relegated to sideshow status, and the departure of Makrygiannis — long a staunch, vocal supporter of MeeGo in the community — would seem to suggest that the bottom has fallen out of whatever remaining support his team had been getting internally.

Thanks, @sklouvi!
