Join the first Maemo Summit

Berlin, September 19-20 @ c-base - right after http://www.osimworld.com

Free registration - Who is attending

Know more about Nokia's Linux platform and its evolution. Meet the core team, 3rd party professional developers and key community contributors. Showcase and discuss your work. Learn, share, hack. And have fun!

The Open Source in Mobile World conference is an interesting venue to know more about the business and technical context of the Maemo platform. Nokia is active in this event and invites the Maemo community to join it. After the conference we propose the first Maemo Summit calling to all contributors.

Schedule
The program is still open. The basic idea is to have few and well executed session plus plenty of free time and free-form activities. You can propose sessions and improvements in the discussion page.

It's the first Maemo Summit and it is good to know in advance who plans to attend, to fine tune practicalities and have enough space, connection, drinks, food.

Travel
Apparently there are options as affordable as 20€ including taxis from Stansted! Share your travel tips from different locations.

Accommodation
We are looking for affordable accommodation options! (and we got some ideas, thank you!) Tips are welcome. The budget for sponsoring contributors is fixed, which means that cheaper accommodation will bring more people to the Summit.
