I’ve been following Maemo for a while now since buying my N810 on eBay before summer and even participated in the Amsterdam summit last october, where Nokia graciously gave all of us a pre-production N900 on a 6 month loan.
As a wannabe developer, the experience with Maemo 4 (Diablo) was great and it looks like it will get even better with Maemo 5 (Fremantle): coming up now is the Maemo Barcelona Long Weekend, a 3 day event where developers will meet UX specialists to further improve the usability of the interfaces.
Unfortunately I won’t be able to attend (can’t take enough days off my day job) so when qgil mentioned the mere possibility of a similar event in Italy I jumped at the chance and started organising it!
You’re welcome to join the discussion on talk.maemo.org and also to spread the word to as many Linux developers as you can: we need mindshare, we need ideas, we need locations and dates. Oh, well, at least we have an idea of possible dates but everything is still very fluid so, please, do give your contribution.
