OSiM News -- What's up with Maemo?
I had a presentation at the OSiM conference in Berlin today. I discussed about the future of the Maemo software.
Bringing open source to consumer mainstream
Nokia operates in two worlds:
a) in a product and business world manufacturing and selling devices and services
b) in an open source –even in a free software world—participating in many projects and peer development groups
The open source and the corporate world used to be very different. But now they overlap more and more each day. This closeness provides very interesting opportunities, but also challenges. Our vision is to bring the innovation, quality and end user participation into consumer mainstream. Our vision is a fruitful and beneficial collaboration.

Maemo
Maemo.org is an open source project, sponsored and contributed by Nokia. It is both for the application developers and for the platform developers providing a means to work together.
Nokia uses Maemo.org as the foundation of its own Maemo software that currently fuels Nokia’s Internet Tablets, such as N800 and N810. Maemo is the first mobile project that takes the Linux desktop paradigm to mobile devices. I’d claim that Nokia essentially created the Mobile Internet Devices (MID) category with the Nokia 770. It included several internet centric applications, such as the desktop browser and VoIP and IM services, as opposite of PDA or Phone centric applications, such as PIM or telephony apps. And it was based on GNOME and Linux. And it was all about the touch screen from the very beginning.
A preview of the 5th Release
Maemo software evolution has progressed through 4 releases. It has powered several multimedia computers, such as the Nokia N810. It is now a time to introduce some of the future directions for the Maemo software.
The 5th release will include cellular connectivity for the High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) data. Maemo already supports WLAN, Bluetooth and WIMAX. With HSPA we can now build use cases for wireless broadband anywhere.
Maemo will enable more computing power by running on OMAP3 processors . OMAP3 enables laptop-like performance and advanced entertainment capabilities. It is based on the ARM® Cortex™-A8 superscalar microprocessor core.
Maemo platform will include support for high definition camera sensors. This enables new multimedia use cases such as instant photo tagging and sharing.
And like before, Maemo remains to be one of Nokia’s software options for Internet optimized multimedia computers.
The Linux Foundation
Nokia becomes Gold Sponsor of the Linux Foundation . Linux and open source is becoming more and more important to Nokia. Thus, increasing our contribution to the Linux Foundation and to the Linux kernel is a self-evident step for Nokia.
It is good to notice how well our goals are aligned already. Nokia’s vision is to bring open source and Linux to consumer mainstream. The Linux Foundation expresses its goals by saying:
...For Linux to remain open and attain the greatest ubiquity possible, important services must be provided, including legal protection, standardization, promotion and collaboration. The Linux Foundation has been founded to help close the gap between open source and proprietary platforms, while sustaining the openness, freedom of choice and technical superiority inherent in open source software.
As many of you know, we have been active in several open source projects, including the Linux kernel. Nokia has become today the first to contribute code on HSPA cellular connectivity for OMAP3 processor to Linux kernel.
Work in upstream is the way to contribute to community also in cellular connectivity area. It is our core way of working! As in most work with upstream projects, we start bottom up with our contribution. The first code on HSPA cellular connectivity was made public in the last 24 hours.
Later on, we intend to contribute to the Linux kernel the SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface) hardware driver for OMAP3, and the power management, link layer protocol, and the network layer protocol for the modem according to Nokia specs. Let’s work together!
Software Developed with the Community
Maemo.org community is the open source community that innovates on top and within the Maemo platform. We invite innovation not only on top of the platform but also into the platform as an experimental lab for innovations.
Maemo community has over 13.000 members today and works on over 600 projects. It is probably the biggest open source community for mobile Linux. As a part of the Maemo work, Nokia contributes to many other upstream open source projects such as GNOME/GTK+, Linux kernel, Debian, Gstreamer, Telepathy, etc. Nokia will shift more and more of its R&D work into open source mode to avoid forking.
Maemo Summit
Meet you soon there! Almost 200 participants and growing – just around the corner here in Berlin.

Just, fyi, Ari, maemo.org is _never_ capitalized. :)

Pray tell me what's new in release 5 from _software_ side of things. All mentioned features are about H/W (ok, H/W support in S/W). Will users of existing n810 get any benefits at all?
Ari, I may (probably am) be wrong, but have you used the term "multimedia computer" before to talk about what we've come to know as "internet tablets"? If not - interesting.. ;)
WELL DONE - NOKIA! WELL DONE FOR OPENNESS AND SHARING CONCEPTS. LINUS IS FROM FINLAND TOO! :-)
I am looking forward to buy my Linux Tablet that has built in cellular connectivity. I didn't buy the iPhone, I was just waiting for all the bits to get into places for our tablets.
Your presentation only has 6 sliides?!!
Easy life or what!!
BTW my N95 seems to do almost all your next gen tablet is going to do, only that it is about half the size and it is a mobile phone too.
Thanks for posting this; I wish I could have been there to hear and then ask questions as I've got tons of thoughts spoken and unspoken so far. But it seems like a good deal of direction has been gained and that there's a snowball forming. Nice :)
This sounds like great news and is getting me excited about maemo again.
A few questions:
* Will the wireless driver source and power management source be released for the N800?
* Will an Ogg Vorbis codec that utilizes the DSP be released?
* Will the source for the media player/metalayer crawler be released? (currently the lack of this source is impeding Tuomas Kulve's work on ogg-support)
* Can you give a clear and complete answer as to why Nokia has been unwilling to add native Vorbis support thus far?
Tim, heh, and I thought I was makign a question he probably cannot answer (not he doesn't know the answer).
Hello,
if possible (but I doubt it), I would like to know when approximatively will the OMAP3-based devices be available.
Thanks
It's really good to see Nokia being so open and sharing concepts like this - open source is the way forward and definitely gets a thumbs up from me and other developers! :p
Ari, It's great to know Nokia will enable 3G in the next generation of Internet Tablet.
I'm also curious to know when this device will be available, and also know some if the possible some of it features. I'm just waiting to get one.
To get my attention, Maemo needs to get an improvement on its appalling handwriting recognition. It's silly that I can scribble at speed on my five-year-old Palm, while my N800 won't go faster than two seconds per character, even after it's been taught Graffiti. Someone at Nokia should be talking to someone at Tealscript.
