[maemo-community] A business case for Maemo

[From: Randall Arnold]

Thanks Dave and Quim.

Just to expand and clarify...

I was looking for a way external to maemo.org to organize some
third-party enterprise activity.  Not sure if my original idea is even
worth pursuing... but it never hurts to get people thinking.  I do still
think that expanding the circle of websites referencing maemo will be A
Good Thing.  ; )

However, I'm thinking I may start by creating a LinkedIn group first and
see how that goes.

As for Maemo employment-- right now I would like nothing more!  That is
definietly where my passion and interests lie.  Unfortunately there are
few to no roles for my meager soft skills, and the 1 or two I've seen
that came close required relocation that I am unable to do.  I keep
holding out hope for a virtual or Dallas-based role...
