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
