Let's get to know the main assets of the Maemo and Moblin communities. The resources below refer to http://moblin.org and http://maemo.org, even if other related community sites should also be taken into account, such as http://www.moblinzone.com/ or http://www.mwkn.net/

Both communities have many corners and probably nobody knows all of them. Feel free editing this table if there is anything missing. Items sorted in no particular order.

To discuss these assets and the plan for the future of the MeeGo infrastructure, subscribe to the MeeGo community mailing list: http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-community. You can also subscribe from your account page on meego.com.
