Remember that "maemo" is invented word.

For Spanish does not make sense asking for pronunciation of invented word, whenever it contains known symbols: all words are pronounced by regular rules. That's the case.

Your question does not make sense for me. I apply the rules. Simple.

Invented by a password generation tool - and I presume this substring selected because it appeared to be unique, not a swear word and happened to look a bit like 'memo'.
My guess is that it does not have a 'correct' pronunciation . however, was it said at the launch of the Google Talk tie-up ... the video was available on-line.

I say "May moe"... and I could swear they pronounced it as such on that 2006 webcast thoughtfix re-encoded and posted.

Too funny... I'd always assumed MEE-mo, based on the old English combined "ae" symbol (what's that thing called?) which is pronounced as a long E, like in "Encyclopaedia".

On the other hand , many folks pronounce "daemon" as "day-mun", so... "May Mow"
