I think one day I am going to tell people "I was maemo when maemo wasn't cool..." ...maemo may be the next big thing in the mobile world, and much less community feel with all the potential "fanboys" that may hop on the bandwagon, and perhaps then I may not even like to hang out at maemo.org anymore. Nevertheless, that idea went through my head when I started reading articles today like this and this... When these articles says things like "the door remains open for new OS entrants, predicting that Nokia's Linux-based Maemo platform is a strong contender to feature in future smartphones" it makes me ponder the huge potential of maemo. It is funny to me, and at the same time kind of scary, to see that people are expecting such big things from meamo, and for Nokia's future in the North American market. Consequently, I hope Nokia doesn't "nokia" this one up like the N97. So one day when my friends are just trying out a new maemo device for the first time because they want to be cool and involved in an open source community--- I can say yea...I know...I was there before it all happened... Now if I could get a meamo.org 2009 summit shirt to prove it!!
