Way too narrow in scope, only reflects origins/starting_point of maemo.org, & is too device centric.
Plus we haven't yet decided whether this community portal should also aspire to host all iterations of MeR, & even NIT.
So it becomes even broader than all the iterations of Maemo, IF we agree that's the best approach.

I don't think Hildon is really apropriate. If something the name can be related to Mer, since Mer is the only viable descendant of the Maemo / Meego effort. Something marine related would be good.

For example Marineris Foundation?

There are two important turkish winds, one is called poyraz (a fresh north-east wind which is essential for the weather in summer at the black sea) and the 'opposite' one is called lodos (a south wind). But unfortunately, poyraz.org is not available anymore and i dont like the second one.

Although MeR is the future, we still have to be mindful that there's still a lot of Maemo related history/legacy.
Still, the idea that it's related to MeR in some way is a good idea IMO, if we're prepared to forget historical connections.

Historic connections are hidden in the name :) Mer = Meego(Maemo) Relaunched. So by using the Mer association we wouldn't really disrespect the history.

So by association of association we'd still have historical connections? I guess, maybe JUST :)

Sadly this along with the 3x other variations seems to have been taken. I haven't tried them all with foundation tacked on the end.
One thing to keep in mind is, whatever we decide on, it doesn't necessarily matter if there's no domain that exactly or even closely matches it.*
Although if there is one that would be great, of course...

*dedicated site JUST for the foundation isn't really that imperative
