Rewrote it a little and added comments. Would be a pain to inline [ quote ] everything again so I didn't. I've used italics to show where I've amended bits.

The Maemo community invites you to participate in the second Maemo Summit in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, from October 9th to October 11th 2009. The core themes of the conference will be Fremantle and Harmattan; the forthcoming and future releases of the Maemo platform.

The Maemo community invites talks, lightning presentations and BOFs in three main tracks:

* Users: Presentations for people who want to get the most out of their Maemo-based hardware, or who are interested in contributing to the Maemo community.
* Application developers: Developers who want to take the platform as it is, and use it to make useful stuff. (Not sure about this one. Seems a little fragmented. Can't think of something better at the moment, leave it with me).
* Platform developers: Hardcore hackers working on the Maemo platform or one of its components.

We are asking for two types of submissions:

* 30 minute long presentations, BOFs or workgroup sessions.
* 5 minute long lightning talks.

We invite people to submit a short description of the session they would like to give, including the talk title, intended audience, a short description, a short biographical note (1 or 2 sentences) and contact details of the presenter(s). This information should be added to the Maemo wiki at (give url). Instructions for submitting proposals can be found at htt://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo_Summit_2009/Proposals

We also welcome proposals for 5 minute lightning talks which will be held each day during the conference. Proposals for lightning talks will be accepted on a first-come-first-served basis, in the limits of available space. (is this really the case? shouldn't it also be judged on content too?)

The deadline for submissions is Friday July 3rd, 2009.

Successful candidates will be selected and notified by the organizing committee by July 24th, 2009.
