Congrats to convulted!!!
Man that was awesome!
Really glad to meet everyone, definitely have a NUG meet when we all have that smug look of satisfaction once the N900 is in our hands. The presentations were ok, had seen most of the stuff before online. But it was nice to be surrounded by a gluttony of N900s. Yea I think the Nokia staff were caught off guard by the veracity and intricacy of some of the questions. As mentioned earlier Nokia were very surprised by the mass appeal of the N900. Especially since they don't deem it a flagship phone (lol).
On what comes next I got a widely varying view. Some state that the next revision should be ready in about a years time, others say more like two. Some say the new maemo (6) will run on the N900 others said it wont. Others say it will be multitouch (cp) without a keyboard, others say that the touch technology to be used is undecided and it will come in 2 or more versions with keyboard etc. What I take away from that is they really are not 100% sure or they are keeping everything very close. Either way our focus should be on the N900 and watching the app development continue with that, since that will most likely be one of the factors to determine Nokias strategy towards the Maemo platform.

Hate to start rumours but did anyone else spot the first meeting in Tanya's calendar for the 18th November when she had it plugged in to the screens?
It showed "New Rover meeting" or "New rover something"

With N900 processing power and generally hardware doesn't seem to be an issue anymore, hence I expect to see rapid plaftorm development with fairly frequent updates rolled over-the-air to production devices, which would presumably bring features that are currently not there (MMS, video calling etc etc.). For time being, N900 and Maemo is very geeky device, however I think that within about a year or so Maemo will get mature enough to attract mass-market users too. All in all, I am seeing Maemo's future in bright colours and looking forward to see it's growing. :)

If anyone caught Tanya's surname and full job title I'd be grateful... I'd like to update my blog post properly rather than just calling her 'a presenter' and 'from Maemo marketing'.
100 internet points to the first (believable reply) and 1 million bonus points if you have a link for her.

The venue was awesome, very minimalist, you had to be a good aim to use the urinal, I half expected there to be three seashells in the toilets.
Plus, the exit door confused me for a minute!
