Indeed we haven't published yet anything but are currently improving our
working paper on the development process of the Nokia Internet Tablet.
So far we conducted 23 interviews with Nokia members, contractors and
volunteers of the Maemo community investigating the impact for a
previously closed-source enterprise entering agile open source
communities and creating one on their own. If you're interested in the
current version of the paper I can send it you.

That's a good question, and we need to compile the answers in a nice
page under maemo.org

We haven't got a compilation, but never it's too late to start:

Erkko Anttila, currently working with us, did his PhD on Open Source
Software and Impact on Competitiveness: Case Study -
http://project.hkkk.fi/gebsi/files/nav_activities/material/Thesis_Final.pdf  
The Internet Tablet OS is analized.


- http://ossi.coss.fi/ossi/ is doing research that includes maemo

Something to start with is
http://ossi.coss.fi/ossi/fileadmin/user_upload/Publications/j_rvensivu_-_kosola_-_kuusipalo_-_reijula_-_mikkonen_-2006.pdf
 - there are references at the end.


Another pointer is Timo Aaltonen and his team, they are working on
Business Readiness Rating for open source projects and maemo is one of
the cases being analized. 

A short description of BRR can be found at
http://www.openbrr.org/wiki/images/6/6e/BRRflyer4a.pdf
an a longer one at
http://www.openbrr.org/wiki/images/d/da/BRR_whitepaper_2005RFC1.pdf



And Matthias Stuermer and his team at http://www.smi.ethz.ch/ are also
working on something although I'm not sure if they have published
anything yet.


If you are doing related research or you know who is doing it please
share the information. 

Also, for those of you interested Nokia has programs to help  support
research, and we are working on having specific support for maemo
research in place as well. I'm not the person on top of this but if you
have any requests I should be able to help forwarding them.

 Hi everybody,

 I'm writing a survey about the state of the art on free software related
 research. It's part of my PhD and I'm interested on involve Maemo on
 it.I would like to know if there is any research ( published articles on
 conferences and publications ) that talk about :

 * Maemo architecture ( Embedded architectures using OSS )
 * FLOSS ( Free as Libre Open Source Software ) relation with Maemo
 Project Management ( related projects vs maemo , comunity vs maemo,... )
 * Open Source Development Model relation with Maemo development model
 * Nokia policy related to Free Software

 Also if there is any group on any university that work on any of this
 subjects would be fine to know about them.

 Thanks a lot

Ramon,
You should get on the FOSS/Discuss list at 
http://opensource.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/discuss
A bunch of research-related resources are listed at 
http://opensource.sfsu.edu/node/213

We have done diffusion and adoption studies of free and open source 
software in general (see list below) but it can be nicely adopted to fit 
a particular platform such as Maemo. The approach to diffusion and 
adoption is based on user perception of the innovation at hand (mostly 
coming from Rogers' [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everett_Rogers] work).

http://cob.sfsu.edu/COB/directory/faculty_contribution.cfm?conid=2215
http://csdl2.computer.org/persagen/DLAbsToc.jsp?resourcePath=/dl/proceedings/toc=comp/proceedings/hicss/2007/2755/00/2755toc.xmlDOI=10.1109/HICSS.2007.412

I currently have a Masters student who is working on the art of open 
sourcing a software project, but that relates to an existing 
proprietary project that has turned into an open source effort. That 
work should be available by the end of May. I can point you in that 
direction at that time...drop me a reminder then.

Hope this helps.

Sameer

Hi Ramon,

you might want to contact Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED] from Cambridge. 
He 
is an active Debian developer and is writting his PhD thesis on a similar 
topic (though he probably did not look at maemo).

Indeed. Martin has completed his thesis already.
It is available here: http://www.cyrius.com/publications/michlmayr-phd.html
It is very good work by the way. He only mentions Maemo passing by though.

Thanks for the information, I'm in touch with him and I knew about his
disertion publication. He focused on release plan on projects, an is a
