[Distributions] Posted Mar 31, 2010 18:24 UTC (Wed) by corbet

The first release of the MeeGo distribution (formerly known as Maemo and Moblin) has been announced; this is also, they say, the beginning of a more open approach to MeeGo development. "What are we opening? The MeeGo distribution infrastructure and the operating system base from the Linux kernel to the OS infrastructure up to the middleware layer. The MeeGo architecture is based on a common core across the different usage models, such as netbooks, handheld, in-vehicle, and connected TV. The MeeGo common core includes the various key subsystems including the core operating system libraries, the comms and telephony services, internet and social networking services, visual services, media services, data management, device services, and personal services." There are downloadable images for Nokia N900 phones and Intel-based netbooks.
