Hi guys,
<Mrinal>
If the "N900 + ROS" slide show you're talking about is mine, then I'll
have to disappoint you. I didn'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't be too hard to get ROS running on it for real...
Yes, this was that slideshow, so I'm disappointed :) but thanks anyway

This page is a good jumping-off point for cross compiling:
http://www.ros.org/wiki/ROS/CrossCompiling
As you get things working, please contribute back there with any
N900-specific notes.
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
