Whether you’re a casual tablet user or a dyed-in-the-wool hacker, this is where you will find a collection of these passions -- a community constructed by spaces, events, tools, applications, and a desire to not only witness first-hand, but lend a hand to the future of mobile computing.

"Community" can be a rather nebulous term until you have a chance to experience the relationships, support, and friendship of other community members. Interestingly, if you are part of a truly authentic community, you will soon realize that you want to contribute to the community. The links below are for people who have reached the point that they desire to add to the efforts of the other community members.

While being a part of the maemo.org community is important, nothing is quite as critical as helping to make maemo.org, the Maemo software platform, and Internet Tablets better for all users. To assist in this, every community member is asked to offer some time and energy into submitting bug reports and feature requests, and reporting potential security issues.

Thriving communities are made up of many diverse people who have a common aspiration, common interests, and a willingness to help the community grow and sustain.
