What is Maemo? Maemo is an open source community developing software around the Maemo platform. Maemo has over 18.000 members that contribute to more than 600 development projects. We work with open source tools and processes. We develop new software for both the platform itself and on top of the platform. Applications developed with the Maemo SDK are used today by thousands of consumers. Maemo is a software platform that is based on open source code and powers mobile devices such as the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet. Maemo platform has been developed by Nokia in collaboration with many open source projects such as the Linux kernel, Debian, Qt, GNOME, and many more.
