Quim Gil is an open source advocate in Nokia's Maemo software unit, where he promotes good open source development and practices at a platform and application level both inside Nokia and in the Maemo community. He also helps build relationships between Maemo and the upstream projects that make Maemo happen. The Maemo platform is 80 percent open source and most of it comes from projects like the Linux Kernel, Xorg, the freedesktop.org and GNOME umbrellas, and more.

Listening to the podcast at the moment. Really nice and interesting interview. But I would have loved if Quim wouldn't have used his N810 as his Skype client. Voice quality is quite terrible.

Sounded fine to me on the videocast. . . .

woa, the N810 survived a visit to a sauna?!

Re: FLOSS Weekly 54 podcast covers Maemo
 

It survives the humidity here without issue, why not a sauna? ;)

heh, you may have a point there ;)

Quim gil just said this in the podcast, @ 37:50 - 37:55

"All the things we are cooking will be seen next month"

It is official. maemo 5 will be released next month.

I am looking forward to this.

he could have said or meant say "months"

Knowing Quim personally, I wouldn't take a general comment like that as 100% anything. After all, perhaps he was just referring to the gaspacho soup he's been cooking in the kitchen... ;)

I would also think quim was actually talking about real cooking.
They are leaving the heatsinks off the processors and making lunch for the entire Nokia staff.
