Affiliation: None relevant to Maemo<br />
Platform:<br />
I've been interested in Maemo devices since about mid-2005, and<br />
bought a 770 the day the went on sale. Since then, I've been<br />
increasingly involved in the community - both on<br />
InternetTabletTalk and, increasingly, maemo.org.<br />
<br />
I believe Nokia have yet to fully tap into the community that<br />
exists, and the community needs to help Nokia grow membership<br />
and activity within the Maemo ecosystem.<br />
<br />
I want to push for Nokia to do more and more Maemo development<br />
in the open, with them *truly* having to justify why a<br />
component is closed. I want to have the community contribute<br />
more directly to the development process, whether in roadmapping;<br />
specification writing/review or testing of pre-released products.<br />
<br />
The maemo.org community is growing: we need to ensure it keeps<br />
growing. I'm pleased to see that, already, some of the points I<br />
raised in "maemo.org: what next?"[1] are coming about. I want<br />
to see the Council pushing this agenda to increase the level of<br />
dialogue happening at the Maemo *strategic* level between Nokia<br />
- as its corporate sponsor - and the maemo.org community - as the<br />
passionate, experienced, but currently undirected, community that<br />
it is.<br />
