Openstreetmap on openmoko ?

[Andrew Turner]

This is something that we've looked into doing on the Maemo platform
using the GeoClue backend. - MaemoSurveyor

Obviously there would be differences in code/arch - but it may be
helpful to collaborate on user interfaces, functionality, etc. There
are definitely some things to think through on how a user selects
areas, or leaves audio/photo/written notes, that we could figure out
together.

See slide #24 of this deck from the State of the Map conference this summer:
