We have done diffusion and adoption studies of free and open source software in general (see list below) but it can be nicely adopted to fit a particular platform such as Maemo. The approach to diffusion and adoption is based on user perception of the innovation at hand (mostly coming from Rogers' [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everett_Rogers] work). http://cob.sfsu.edu/COB/directory/faculty_contribution.cfm?conid=2215 http://csdl2.computer.org/persagen/DLAbsToc.jsp?resourcePath=/dl/proceedings/&toc=comp/proceedings/hicss/2007/2755/00/2755toc.xml&DOI=10.1109/HICSS.2007.412 I currently have a Masters student who is working on the "art of open sourcing a software project", but that relates to an existing proprietary project that has turned into an open source effort. That work should be available by the end of May. I can point you in that direction at that time...drop me a reminder then. Hope this helps.
