Yes, this was that slideshow, so I'm disappointed :) but thanks anyway

Sure, I will. I'm making progress, slowly. I've built several deb packages
for N900/Maemo 5 target, and probably will upload them to maemo repository,
so it'll be easier to install it later. For now, I'm trying to compile ROS
on the device and focus on cross-compiling dependencies.

Cheers,
Seb

Hi guys,&lt;Mrinal&gt; 
If the &quot;N900 + ROS&quot; slide show you&#39;re talking about is mine, then I&#39;ll
have to disappoint you. I didn&#39;t actually install ROS on the N900,
just wrote a program that transmitted the N900 accelerometer data over
a TCP connection and receive it on a computer running ROS. But I dare
say it shouldn&#39;t be too hard to get ROS running on it for real...

Yes, this was that slideshow, so I&#39;m disappointed :) but thanks anyway &lt;Brian&gt;
