there are so many ideas... wow!

the one thing i'm not sure about is: what's the message? is "open" something ppl will get excited about? apple's message, i guess, was "cool". cool is what some folks apparently want to be. i hope nobody here suggests "even cooler" as our message or else i'd shiver.

so how could "open" become more emotional? what's open aside from the software ecosystem?

i believe there should be people. people interacting. people being more open/inviting/friendly/... than the average geek. i like christexaport's ideas because the involve people.

open - open to new people - open minded - open to all kinds of ideas - ... "connecting people" is close, but too conservative.

scenes that show how a maemo device makes people meet and have fun together... people who wouldn't have had a reason to talk to each other without their devices. make it clear how they share, create, how they use open software to create stuff they share open...

good looking, relaxed people. the "i want to be like her/him"-kind of people.

sounds like a €1000000 video production? not necessarily. it could be a blog entry, a photo on flickr, 20 seconds on youtube.... the point is to transport emotions, not only facts and "i like it because..."

oh, one more note:
i know one person who owns an iphone. whenever he sends a mail from this device, the signature reads "sent from an iphone". i don't know if this is a default setting or if it was his idea, but it drives me nuts. never. never. never do this.
