Now that the N810 units getting into developer hands (after countless problems with LetsTalk - Did they really ask you for your Social Security Number?) the excitement is growing.<br /><br /><ul><li>Richard G. of WOM World (and others)made a <a href="http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=11633965363">Tetris-like Facebook app</a>.

It's a gathering of developers in open conversation about Linux device development. I will be there, delivering a lecture on community involvement in open-source applications. I have a bunch of feedback already (thank you very much to #maemo IRC folks) but ask my readers this question:<br /><br />What do you feel developers or users doing WRONG when developing/releasing/giving feedback on open source applications?thoughtfixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09805747981436810611noreply@blogger.com
