Openmind conference is again at Tampere, Finland today. The first keynote talk was from Quim Gil of Nokia, presenting N900 running Linux-based Maemo5. The talk mentioned a lot of openness thing, but I resisted my temptation to ask about ”how about loading the battery” when it was mentioned that you don't need to run Maemo on N900. Kudos again for the most open mass-market phone product on the market, despite there still being various serious shortcomings. Very far from
Openmoko of course.
Video about using N900 as the presentation device as well at Youtube.
Openmind continues for today as a kind of prelude to the larger Mindtrek conference.
Update: here's one more photo of Teppo Sulonen, presenting ”City of Tampere IT solutions and Open Architecture”.

You should not have resisted...
While Nokia is to be applauded for what they have achieved, it is best not to let them get away with saying they're fully open when they're not.
You mean this: "bme - Battery Management Entity: Security. A misuse of the could lead to serious battery damages that could result in liabilities for Nokia. hald-addon-bme is a related package, also closed."
