folks!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>I’m
a user interface designer in the Enterprise Solutions unit in <st1:City w:st="on">Boston</st1:City>
– far away and removed from the folks who are in charge of the Nokia 770
somewhere in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Finland</st1:place></st1:country-region>.
(Unfortunately!) I _<i><span style='font-style:italic'>personally</span></i>_ love
the device and think it’s wicked cool. A handful of my co-workers here in
<st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Boston</st1:place></st1:City> are also
big fans.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Anyways,
I just wanted to say that I’m so glad there’s such a great
community of talented people working to improve the Maemo OS and create
compelling apps to run on it. I wish I could contribute more myself, but although
I’m a hobbyist programmer in my spare time, I only know C#. Perhaps
someday the Mono project can get ported to Maemo, too – wouldn’t
that be cool?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Maybe
I haven’t been paying attention, but is there someplace where projects
post talent needs? Perhaps I can still contribute in some way with my user
experience design and usability skills – unofficially and in my spare
time. (My day job is related to designing software for Eseries phones.) If you
need a helping hand, please give me a buzz directly.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>BTW,
and again, this is my _<i><span style='font-style:italic'>personal</span></i>_
opinion, but I think it’s great validation of this market space that Sony
has released the Mylo and Microsoft is releasing the Origami. I think the Maemo
platform has greater potential and is more exciting because it’s open
that those guys. The goods news is probably that Sony and Microsoft will do a
lot to help develop the market overall for Internet tablet/PDAs, and the Maemo
platform will surely benefit. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Another
comment regarding recent requests for more transparency from Nokia on the
roadmap. Note that I have *<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>NO IDEA</span></b>*
what’s going on because I’m far, far away from things here in <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Boston</st1:place></st1:City> and this is my _<i><span
style='font-style:italic'>personal</span></i>_ opinion… <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Upstairs
they’re developing the new Open Source browser for the S60 release 3
devices. The core of the <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">OSS</st1:place></st1:City>
browser is the same as Apple’s Safari, as most of you probably know, and
it’s wicked cool. It’s a quantum leap forward for browsing on the
severely resource constrained mobile phones. Folks should keep in mind that
Nokia has been gingerly stepping up to take active roles in more open source
projects, the OSS browser and Maemo being two prime examples. With the OS
browser, Nokia is deeply committed to developing the project and honoring the
spirit of the open source aspect of it. But given the company’s general
lack of experience with big <st1:City w:st="on">OSS</st1:City> projects like
this, I think you’ll hear <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">OSS</st1:place></st1:City>
browser leaders talk about the learning curve involved. Part of what those
folks are trying to do is get the OSS browser to a suitable level of maturity
before opening up the OS portions – and then working with Apple to manage/coordinate/nurture
the community contributions, which is also a big effort. (BTW, I think the <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">OSS</st1:City></st1:place> portions were recently
published.) <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>I
think I’ve heard on this board, also, that there’s been a learning
curve for the Nokians involved in Maemo. I think the community should
definitely continue to push Nokia on issues that are important to the
community. That pressure is a key channel for how Nokia as a company learns to
be a good <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">OSS</st1:place></st1:City>
community citizen. But also keep in mind that Nokia feels strong competitive pressures
and is still a BIG COMPANY that can sometimes act very slowly. Remember the shiny
new Mylo and Origami products mentioned above? Nokia has to walk a fine line
between transparency and tipping off the *<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>evil</span></b>*
closed source competitors too early. (Just kidding on the evil part!) Nokia
probably won’t always find the right balance there, but that’s why
it’s important for the discourse to remain _<i><span style='font-style:
italic'>open</span></i>_ and _<i><span style='font-style:italic'>civil</span></i>_
on all sides… <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Anyways,
thanks again to everyone involved on this project. I love dropping by the
Applications page on the wiki from time to time to see what’s new! It’s
really exciting to see a young platform like this get stronger and more
compelling every day…<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
