The mission of the Foundation is to promote and progress the future availability of Maemo®, maemo
derived or inspired open source software, and related toolkits, for mobile devices. The Maemo®
operating system and Hildon user interface (which includes several iterations) was originally
developed by Nokia Corporation and used in several commercially available devices. Much of
Maemo® and Hildon is currently open source software as defined by the Open Software Foundation
and, as such, continues to be improved upon by a volunteer community for the general benefit of the
public. The Foundation shall undertake such acts as it deems necessary to accomplish this mission.
Further, the Foundation may promote and advocate for the availability of mobile devices which
have open source software and/or open hardware architectures.
