Please don't limit your thoughts to the reality of maemo.org today: a site targeted to developers and driven by Nokia. This is why in my blog post the question "Who makes the maemo community" comes in the context of the 100 Days + 2010 Agenda brainstorm.

maemo.org is shifting to a community driven space. How much and how deep depends probably more on you than on Nokia alone. For this reason it is probably the community who will have anyway the initiative to decide what is the target audience wished for maemo.org.

Talking about "casual users" is not very helpful. What about starting with "casual contributors", leaving out of the main scope those only willing to enjoy the device they bought and not interested in any kind of community dynamics.

Also don't worry about the typical commercial projects: they deal with Forum Nokia, an organization whose main purpose is to support commercial developers.

When suggesting the idea of not limiting maemo.org to open source I was thinking more of stating clearly what is a reality today: maemo.org is currently not restricted to open source developers or projects. The platform itself is not 100% open source. Therefore "open source development for Internet Tablets" is not an accurate slogan even today. Besides, all the regular Linux distros have non-free / restricted / multiverse repos anyway, so what's the big deal? Open source should be still a core driver, since (when well executed) it is the Grand Prix of collaboration, and collaboration is proposed as a main driver of maemo.org.

maemo is attracting more and more developers with a non open source development background, mainly coming from Windows, S60 or other mobile platforms. Some (many?) of them are learning and seeing the advantages of the open approach after some time here. Leaving the door really open in this young and innovative platform might serve better the free software agenda at the end...
