The Maemo community is a open source community developing software around the Maemo platform. The Maemo community has over 16,000 registered members who contribute to more than 800 development projects. We work with open source tools and processes. We develop new software on top of the platform as well as for the core platform itself. Applications developed with the Maemo SDK are used today by thousands of Maemo users around the world.

Maemo provides an open source development platform for Nokia Internet Tablets and other Linux-based embedded devices. It is build from components widely used in open desktop and mobile/embedded systems: the Linux kernel, Xserver, DBus, GTK+, Gstreamer, Telepathy, GnomeVFS... We develop the Hildon Application Framework in order to integrate functionality and user interface to the maemo platform. We also provide a Software Development Kit containing the tools needed to create and port applications, replicating the Internet Tablet environment in a PC.
