maemo isn't on the netbook?

2009-08-25 Thread Paul Bloch
Hi All, I know you don't hear from me often. I've dropped in and out for awhile now but thought I'd pop in and ask the community why Nokia isn't using Maemo for its netbook strategy. Especially when there is a struggling but growing "App Store" library built on the platform. Fremantle is meant t

Hey guys, The new site for the Mixxx project is up at Mixxx.org. I designed the site although not all the updates have been made. You can also see the logo I designed for them. If anyone thinks I'd be a good candidate to offer some design help give me a shout. ___

Well the only point that I agree that one problem here is that maybe people who would want to develop with Maemo can't sell it on their devices with the Maemo branding, as that is owned by Nokia. Unless Nokia gives rights to the commons so that anyone, including other companies, to use it on their

Cool, I'm glad this idea has developed. So what do you think about opening up each term as a way for a developer to lead the whole team? Kind of like our periodic Steve Jobs that helps to steer the project for the term and heads development. If we get enough in support this person could even get

Wow, sounds really great, the universal plug and play sounds sweet. Let me know about any interface design help I can do, this thing is freaking sweet. :) Another person mentioned using the n800 as a robot controller, it would be great to have an interface for plug and play robotics as part of the

Hey guys, So Maemo, as we all feel has enormous potential and we all feel investment in making things work out for the best. So instead of each taking a side, why not find a better solution than what people are envisioning from a position of separation. Because obviously there are pros and cons t

Hey guys, Very interesting topic. One system to think about is using the organizational system known as holocracy to organize the site. I've been thinking about opensource dynamics as similar to a functioning cell and I think that a much more intelligent solution can be applied if we really think

Interesting thread, and I agree that it's complex for businesses to find out how open to be while still being able to maintain a working business model. We certainly live in interesting times. I'm glad that such a question is on the table. One thing that comes to mind in terms of augmenting Maem
