Um, I hate to sound rude, but where does one get off telling 3rd party developers what to name their applications? I could understand if it were Nokia applications you were discussing that you had some sway over, but asking one of the most prominent 3rd party developers to rename their application for "branding reasons" just doesn't sit well with me. :\ —[[User:generalantilles|GeneralAntilles]] 10:13, 12 June 2008 (UTC) | Um, I hate to sound rude, but where does one get off telling 3rd party developers what to name their applications?

:The fact is that since the trademark policy was approved no new application has come up with the name "maemo something", and "something for maemo" is the recommended alternative. We declared amnesty to the projects created before the trademark policy for obvious reasons. We could talk about recommendation to swith to the trademark compliant formulas, but not enforcement. But they might be interested. If you notice "Mapper" is cooler name than "Maemo Mapper". Also think about the opssibility to have it ported it to i.e. S60 in a future. Why getting your app tied to the name of one platform if it ever becomes succesful and ported to other platforms?--[[User:qgil|qgil]] 12:42, 12 June 2008 (UTC) | :The fact is that since the trademark policy was approved no new application has come up with the name "maemo something", and "something for maemo" is the recommended alternative.

As for the distinction between maemo and Internet Tablet OS, I think this is a ''very'' important one. Internet Tablet OS is a fairly proprietary mobile operating system that ships with Nokia Internet Tablets, maemo is an open-source development platform for mobile Linux. They're two distinctly separate (if sometimes closely related) things. Moving forward, we should really be ''increasing'' this distinction, not blurring it further. —[[User:generalantilles|GeneralAntilles]] 10:13, 12 June 2008 (UTC) | As for the distinction between maemo and Internet Tablet OS, I think this is a ''very'' important one.

:What's going to happen to maemo.org? The "[[User:Peterschneider|proposal for the new intro page]]" reads like an internal website for Maemo Software inside intranet.nokia.com, with the community more of a footnote. If maemo.org is the collaborative space of the Maemo community - in which Maemo Software are an "equal and active partner" - shouldn't the community be front-and-centre, and the technical details of the Maemo platform shunted downstream? [http://www.getfirefox.com GetFirefox.com] doesn't start off talking about versions of Gecko, it gives end-users a clean, simple interface to get what ''they'' want, from which the bowels of developer documentation can also be found for that more limited subset. However, if there's a maemo(software).com, owned and run by Nokia's Maemo Software group, it'll presumably talk more about commercial partnerships, Devices running Maemo, licenseable software stack benefits, etc. etc. --[[User:jaffa|Jaffa]] 21:51, 22 June 2008 (UTC) | :What's going to happen to maemo.org?

* In fact, the Maemo community could run a contest to define a new maemo.org logo (and new shirts & stickers?). Nokia could sponsor prizes and the purchase of the related materials... to be distributed in the maemo summit? | * In fact, the Maemo community could run a contest to define a new maemo.org logo (and new shirts & stickers?).
