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.

Venue
The Maemo Summit is held in the heeadquarter of c-base, a non-profit association located in Berlin, Germany which has about 300 members. The purpose of this association is to increase knowledge and know-how regarding computer software, hardware and data networks (more).
c-base is in the very Mitte of Berlin.
Participants
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.
A basic registration process will be started soon. Yes, the entrance is free. Registration is still requested for planning purposes.
Sponsoring community contributors
Nokia has a limited budget for sponsoring travel and accommodation of Very Interesting People in the Maemo Community. If you are doing an important contribution to Maemo and you are in non-profit mode you are invited to apply for sponsorship. Some requisites:
- First of all make sure you can make it to Berlin on September 17-20, OSiM World + Maemo Summit. Exceptions can be made but full attendance to 18-19 or 19-20 is the minimum required. This means you have passport and legal stuff in place + time availability confirmed.
- Apply fast! We want to approve a first round of sponsorships by July 15. See how much budget is left after people has booked their trips. Go for a second and last round with the remaining budget, setting a hard deadline by the end of July.
- Edit your maemo.org profile providing all the relevant information about you in the Maemo context. This will help us knowing/remembering who are you and what are you doing here.
- When registering, explain in your sponsorship request how can you contribute to the success of the Summit: run a session, get a responsibility in the organization, develop a demo to showcase... up to you. We just want to avoid sponsoring passive participants, no matter how much active they have been in the past. This sponsorship is not a prize for past contributions.
- Once approved you have to make it. Cancelling accepted sponsorship requests is a real hassle, a waste of time and money. You understand this. :)
- If your request is not approved you understand it's for a reason and you won't argue about it. We might even make potential mistakes, but not even in this case we will respond to an argument. You also understand this. :)
Accommodation
We are looking for affordable accommodation options! Tips are welcome. The budget for sponsoring contributors is fixed, which means that cheaper accommodation will bring more people to the Summit.
