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 to

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

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

Hi guys, So I'm starting to go through the tutorials and how-tos to familiarize myself with how maemo is stacked. I was thinking about improvements to the interface experience and I'm wondering if it would be possible to at all experiment with a port of Enlightenment as the window manager to take
