After a month and a half and hundreds of submissions from 62 members of the Maemo community, the new maemo.org logo has been chosen:
The logo is from Glauber de Oliveira Costa (aka glaoliver) of the INdT team, who wins a trip to the Maemo Summit at Berlin and the new Nokia N810 Internet Tablet WiMAX Edition.
Glauber also provided some ideas on how the log would appear on shirts and accessories, which we hope we’ll see at the summit:
Congrats Glauber!

You can get the pre-release version (v. 0.4.2.2) already at the unstable repository (change user to unstable in the repository setting after you install — thanks Jonathan!), or just wait for the stable release which should be up soon.
Follow the Jaiku discussion.
Developer Justin Dolske has compiled Thunderbird (aka Shredder) on Maemo and checkout the results:

I wish he would share his experiment.
