Hi,

How about Moken?

The Moken 'are an Austronesian ethnic group ... who maintain a nomadic, 
sea-based culture' [1].


This is a mobile community; mobile in two senses a) it's a community built 
around mobile phone devices, b) it's a community that has had a nomadic 
existence, from inernettablettalk -> maemo.org -> (mer->) meego -> mer.  But 
most of all it's about community.

That got me thinking about nomadic communities, and then all the talk about the 
sea made me look up sea gypsies [2]. Wikipedia threw up a few options, of which 
Moken seemed the best fit to me. 

You've got mer (the sea) that is the core, and then you have a sea based 
culture living on top of it, which would be the Community Edition. 

Regards,

Ritesh Patel (aka mrsellout)
