FAQ

Q - Are the dates definitive now?
A - Yes. We have changed them because we believe more people will join, even if we are not close to OSiM World anymore. Also because it's a good time to start talking about Harmattan.

Q - How has been the venue decided?
A - Kees (council member based in Amsterdam) coordinated a first round of possible venues. Kees, Niels (maemo.org webmaster, also Dutch) and Quim (Nokia contact) visited 3 finalists. It was decided with the Council that this one offered the best combination of price, flexibility and cool atmosphere.

Q - Can I register? Recommended accommodation? What about the party?....
A - Ah yes, the little details. Now we have just pinned the venue and the organization is bootstrapping. We also need to get past a successful http://wiki.maemo.org/Mozilla_Maemo_Danish_Weekend

Q - How can I help?
A - Book your travel and/or go to http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo_Summit_2009 to see what to do. In case of doubt just ask.

Q - Can you sponsor my travel/accommodation?
A - No idea since we don't know you (or do we? ) and we have to organize first the budget. In the meantime help yourself: be a core community member and/or a genius independent developer.
