N900 packaging team
We want to make Debian run better on the Nokia N900 (aka RX-51).

TODO
internal
move http://elektranox.org/n900/ to http://pkg-n900.alioth.debian.org (check pkg-gnome)
create a repository on http://pkg-n900.alioth.debian.org (check pkg-fso)
put my kernel work to git.debian.org
getting started
add deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/ fremantle free non-free to sources.list
apt-get install bootmenu-n900 debootstrap parted
install kernel from http://pkg-n900.alioth.debian.org/kernel/ (it's missing most hardware drivers currently, but display, keyboard and touchscreen are working)
- I had better luck with git://gitorious.org/linux-n900/linux-n900.git
- install userland with debootstrap or multistrap
- make it boot
Maintainance
- find a better way to set wlan hwaddr
test armhf architecture (which should make better use of the hardware) DONE, must be done via multistrap
try out the ofono phone stack
There is a prototypical battery charger script ( not required for kernels that charge the battery automatically)
iwconfig wlan0 power on makes a 200mA difference in power consumption
Packaging
fcam camera program
camera-ui another camera program
port Meego stuff
improved open source graphic driver (kms & xrandr) (sre is on this)
