Everything under a thick and fast academic WiFi cloud you won't beat.

[[Mer]] is also known as the Maemo 5 community edition for the Nokia N810/N800/770 Internet Tablets. More information about the project can be found on the [[Mer]] homepage.

The high level goal of this focus area is to bring Mer closer to 1.0, which is meant to be the first day-to-day usable release on Nokia Internet Tablets. Maemo 5 will be in beta stage at this point and and we should be able to provide Fremantle APIs and a Maemo 4 replacement to Nokia N8x0(W) users when Maemo 5 is out. The hope is to be able to use the synergy of bringing so many Maemo and Mer related personalities together, to be able to move ahead on things that would take longer if having to be done online.

The hotel is 2 minutes walk from the metro station going to the venue and has free Internet connection. The metro runs all night, so there's no need to take a taxi after late night coding.

The sponsored participants are hosted in this hotel. Other participants are encouraged to book here your rooms as well. There is an Accommodation wiki page where you can see how the rooms are organized.

If you get the notice of fully booked, there are more Cabinn hotels in Copenhagen (see map).
