The Open Source in Mobile World conference is an interesting venue to know more about the business and technical context of the Maemo platform.

Accommodation
We are looking for affordable accommodation options! (and we got some ideas, thank you!) Tips are welcome. The budget for sponsoring contributors is fixed, which means that cheaper accommodation will bring more people to the Summit.
