Before the domain maemo.org was used, internettablettalk.com was the domain used by the Maemo community.

Hildon Foundation not (so) good...
here is why:
Hildon ≃ Heldon ≃ Seldon
who in the name of gawd (pun intended
) is... Seldon?!?
well, Hari Seldon is a key character from Azimov's Foundation serie of novels...
not the most common association, admittedly, but it takes only one post / article by some idiotic blogger pseudo-journalist to turn the Hildon Foundation into some sci-fi fantasy
wouldn't MaemoCommunity be a good one?
it is the continuation of Maemo by its Community after all

It could be added that "hildon" is plural preterite tense of "hold; keep, maintain; retain" in Old Frisian.
Best wishes.

I'm very much in favor of "Hildon Foundation". It goes back to the roots of this community, it's a name that has a story to tell.
Any names made up now will sound like "Tizen" to me: yet another name only to hide where we're coming from. It wasn't all that bad, was it?
Paris Hildon would be a terrible connotation....

Okay this is done, please read the OP....
If anyone thinks the explanations for each candidate aren't correct please advise what to put.
Also advise whether you think I'm missing some names or whether you think some should be pulled.
In another 24hr (or less) I'll start the poll, please get the word out to more people now though.
