Dear Maemo Community,

I'm not that long a member yet of the Maemo community and spend a lot of time 
at the iOS community before I got my hand on a Nokia N9. It has been 
interesting but not that easy to switch a community and arrive in a new one as 
a complete noob learning and cathing up with Maemo 5 and 6.

I had to find my place first and ended up creating AllBoutN9.info. AllBoutN9 is 
a website which aims any Nokia N9 user - or in other words many "normal" users 
which don't use the phone the same way most community members use it. My 
website was created after I felt that Nokia (esp. Nokia Conversations) doesn't 
talk enough about Nokia N9 and I was also looking for a way to share my 
experiences, ideas and solutions. 

So far the website has been a success and it got many loyal readers. 
Furthermore we (I have someone who helps me with writing articles) had contact 
with several developers who shared their applications with us for reviewing and 
testing. It's also nice to see that we have new authors in the list who are 
ready to write for us in the near future.

But that's not all: We also started to support many users - daily there are 
questions via our Twitter page, Facebook page, website itself and especially 
email about Nokia N9. Two times it even ended up in long Skype conversations 
where we tried to fix 2 phones which got messed up with NITDroid (in 
combination with unexperienced phone users). 

It's a fun project and great to get in contact with so many Nokia N9 users all 
around the world. But of course it is a very time-consuming website (not only 
the writing, but also keeping up an appealing webdesign and with its 
community). 

Have a look at the website yourself: www.allboutn9.info

Thank you for your consideration,

Marco Geiger
