		+	:I've been involved with maemo software since the very beginning of the platform, thanks to my job at INdT. When Nokia released the first Internet Tablet device, Nokia 770 together with ITOS2005, we started providing applications to the platform, such as ports of GNOME applications and games using SDL library. Other contributions pre OS2006 include participation in the definition of the Telepathy spec and a very strong participation in the development of BlueZ, the linux bluetooth implementation.
		+
		+	:Another remarkably contribution to the platform has been the maintenance of Python programming language since those days. Python has been widely used in the platform for various projects, and in my opinion it has brought the attention of many developers to Maemo, increasing its value and visibility in the Free/Open Source Software world.
		+
		+	:With the release of the first version of Canola media player, we started to explore deeper the various possibilities the platform provides us. With a completely different approach of user interaction, it quickly became one of the most used applications by the users. It was written in C language and had SDL as its core lib. We then evoluted the idea of Canola and have rewritten it from scratch, now using Python programming language and using the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries (EFL) as the core libraries. I'm currently the maintainer of the whole EFL, python-efl and Canola packages for all internet tablet devices (770, N800 and N810).
		+
		+	:Another interesting project I was deeply involved was the first version of Carman, which turned your device in a full OBDII analyzer.

As an AbiWord developer and also as a user, I see a disconnect between users, developers, and Nokia that is hampering developmental efficiency and leading to bad blood.
