Developing on Maemo Platform

Innovation on Maemo platform can be divided into two area: developing applications on top of the platform and developing the actual platform.

Developing applications

Developing applications for Maemo is done with the Maemo SDK. The process from creating the first prototype of your application to distributing to a wide audience consists basically of three steps:

  • share your application project in the Maemo garage
  • make your application easy to install and put in the Application Catalog in maemo.org
  • once you receive a high quality - be promoted on Nokia user site
