Device hacker is anyone with a sane amount of knowledge on how a typical OS works and wants to put it on a device. N9/N950 users will have the MOSLO in due time, we had some bureaucracy due to this.

Hardware adaptation is things like: configuration files for hardware, kernel, GLESv2/EGL libraries, modem drivers, etc.
