There was no NDA or anything. They've been giving them to reviewers as well for crying out loud. 
Feel free to ask questions.
I have no idea really why the n900 was delayed. It seems solid to me.

Only once in a while I see some little info from Planet Maemo or somewhere - a little nugget of info thrown to the hungry dogs so to speak.
So are all 300 Maemo summit attendees under NDA's or what ?
Ad not any info on what Nokia is rectifying on the official ROM and what are the fixes going in (except some major ones which Qole and others have discussed - like the memory issue etc).
Just a question - was the N900 so much of a beta quality thats been the reason for the tight NDA's and the delays ? Or is it something more benign than that ?

Have you checked the maemo.org bugzilla lately? Lots of 'feedback' there from the Summit 300. That 'introverted' and public feedback will give you all a much better release version of Maemo 5, and top notch apps in Extras.
Peter specifically said in Amsterdam that there was no NDA... feel free to ask questions if you want.
Edit: The pre release Maemo 5 we have does not feel Beta at all. There are some bugs, yes. But overall, the OS is top notch. And really, what hasn't been covered on youtube already?

Perhaps, I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that most of the people at the Maemo Summit were developers, rather than media/blog people. I'm just guessing, but I'd imagine the developers are more interested in using the device and figuring out what they're going to work on with it, than posting information online. I'd love to hear from them, but I can understand how that's not their focus.

The week the N0900 ships we will see more info and reviews we can handle.
Then the Maemo and Android fanboys will duke it out with the N900 and Droid being the fighters of choice. I know who I have my money on and it does not have one spec of byte code to bog it down
That being said, at least the Droid was actually released on time.....
Round one goes to Droid
