Hi everybody,

This is the start of the list that contains all the names of the Maemo Community members who would like to participate in the co-creation session on the 8th of October in Amsterdam. (the day before the Summit)

The Selection Process
We want to find the right people by asking you to recommend your peers, based on their expertise with the topic, as well as their activities within the Maemo Community. Of course, you can also apply yourself.
We (Fronteer Strategy) will contact the people that are recommended or willing to participate to speak with them in person. Eventually we will choose the best mix of participants together with Nokia.


The Profile
We are looking for a perfect mix of backgrounds, expertise's and personalities. All participants should be open-minded, motivating, creative and like to work in groups (communicative, think along, critical, listening & responding)

What we do are expert and lead-user co-creation sessions (if interested, please visit www.welcometorooftop.com for more information). This means that we are looking for inspirational people, visionaries, thought-leaders in their area of expertise. This can be either practical (developers, lead-users) or theoretical (researchers).
Of course it helps if your expertise is linked to the topic of this whole project:

"Creativity on the Move"
- Instant and fun media editing/remixing/sharing (combining, editing & sharing pictures, music and video on your device)
- Serendipitous (accidental/surprising) content discovery (semantic browsing for content stored on your device and internet)

As the results will also be presented by participants & Nokia at the Maemo Summit, it is convenient if you would visit the Summit as well.
One very important logistical point: it is a full-day co-creation session, from 9:00 till 18:00. It is not possible to attend half of the day.

So far, the following people have showed their interest in participating in this co-creation session, or were recommended by someone else:

• ARJWright

If you already showed your interest, and I forgot to put you on the list, I'm sorry, please let me know that you want to be on there!
