As some may have seen, Matt Brawn of Nokia's PUSHN900 project posted here late 2008 about a developer contest around Maemo 5. Now they're running another in the US.

PUSHN900 is an exciting initiative and I like their emphasis on hacking and modding. Makes me think the era of the internet tablet may not be completely over.

Anyway I'd like to start connecting with that team on a regular basis, and I invite everyone here to look into it. This is a team created specifically to push the N900 so if anyone is receptive to ideas, they should be.

Stay tuned...

I just advertised it in several universities. Hopefully more people participate it.

Thanks bbns! And glad to have someone from LA NRC here.

Thanks Texrat for posting this up!

@bbns Thanks for taking the time to advertise it in universities - feel free to contact me if you need anything. I'll do all I can to help get you what you need.

do you have any advert materials i could post in my school?

@kryptoniankid17

Hopefully we'll have something coming in the next few days, but if you want to mock up your own, please feel free! It's all about PUSHing it!

Thanks for the support!

Matt, do you guys have a general fair use policy for reuse of PUSHN900 content, or would you rather we approach that on a case by case basis?

Not specifically, but I'd imagine in the context of making an advert for University/College message board that use of the logo etc, should be fine.

Thanks. It would actually be helpful to us if something was spelled out on your site. No rush, though.... I will run anything questionable by you (or whomever you designate).

In case anyone missed Matt's announcement in General, he has an update on the contest:
