I came to Maemo pretty recently because it's a (more or less) open free software system, specifically because of the advantages and community that that enables. I'm very pleased that the community around the OS is this good and active but it's what I was looking for, so I'm not surprised by it. However, while I'm sure I'm not alone in that, it strikes me that other people may be here for different reasons and from different backgrounds, and that this might be their first experience of what free software communities tend to be like.

Basically though, I'm just curious.
