 Nokia is not in the best position to lead this even if we support the idea
 and want to see it happening. The reason is that Nokia checks all the
 software released in their products and offers a guarantee on them. Perhaps
 we can circunvent rules (to be analyzed) but the default setting would imply
 that Nokia would be stamping a seal on a whole Ubuntu distribution (read
 hundreds of packages) which is totally out of the scope (and feasibility).

 We are happy seeing an official maemo release inside a VMware envelop. If
 it's proven to work and be regularly maintained and supported we would give
 it officious treatment. With identified and reliable speakers we could help
 having the new versions in good shape right after a new maemo release.


 It looks like all the ingredients are present already in the maemo
 community. With some images already out there, a placeholder like

I can be your at-VMware contact, since I'm now directly focused on Virtual
Appliances (i.e., prepackaged VMs etc...).
 
 
By VMware support in this particular context, I read it as
 
  Virtual Appliance to run on top of VMware virtualization products and
geared towards Maemo platform development
