: I don't think we are prepared for organizing an event in the USA this year having the key contributors (many of them in Europe, including the huge majority of the Maemo SW team). Specially difficult in these times of budget ''optimizations''.--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 07:44, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Location Proposals

Asturias (Spain)

by jsmanrique What about Gijon or Oviedo in Spain?

Ok, ok, perhaps they are not the biggest cities in Spain, but the regional opensource community/LUG (AsturLiNUX) is celebrating its 10th years and they would help on everything. Since 2000 we have been spreading opensource in embedded devices, and lately Maemo. We have also created a community about "open mobile" (OMAG), and we are working on a Spanish Gnome meeting (with some talks dedicated to Maemo too). So, I think that Maemo Summit would be a "great end" for 2009.

Despite that, there are other organizations (public and private) interested on managing and supporting an event like this. Places:

Amsterdam (Netherlands)

OSiM World will be organized in Amsterdam between 15th and 18th september.

Portland (Oregon, USA)

LinuxCon is in Portland, Oregon, from Sept 21st to Sept 23th.

I don't think we are prepared for organizing an event in the USA this year having the key contributors (many of them in Europe, including the huge majority of the Maemo SW team). Specially difficult in these times of budget optimizations.--qgil 07:44, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
