michael@1 40 From Wikipedia article:
michael@1 41 MeeGo is a Linux-based open source mobile operating system
michael@1 42 project. Primarily targeted at mobile devices and information
michael@1 43 appliances in the consumer electronics market, MeeGo is designed
michael@1 44 to act as an operating system for hardware platforms such as
michael@1 45 netbooks, entry-level desktops, nettops, tablet computers,
michael@1 46 mobile computing and communications devices, in-vehicle
michael@1 47 infotainment devices, SmartTV / ConnectedTV, IPTV-boxes,
michael@1 48 smart phones, and other embedded systems. MeeGo is today
michael@1 49 hosted by the Linux Foundation.
michael@1 50
michael@1 51 It was first announced at Mobile World Congress in February
michael@1 52 2010 by Intel and Nokia in a joint press conference. The
michael@1 53 stated aim is to merge the efforts of Intel's Moblin and
michael@1 54 Nokia's Maemo former projects into one new common project.
michael@1 55 According to Intel, MeeGo was developed because Microsoft
michael@1 56 did not offer comprehensive Windows 7 support for the Atom
michael@1 57 processor. Aminocom and Novell also play a large part in the
michael@1 58 MeeGo effort, working with the Linux Foundation on their
michael@1 59 build infrastructure and official MeeGo products. Amino was
michael@1 60 responsible for extending MeeGo to TV devices, while Novell
michael@1 61 is increasingly introducing technology that was originally
michael@1 62 developed for openSUSE, (including openSUSE Build Service,
michael@1 63 ZYpp for package management, and other system management
michael@1 64 tools). In November 2010, AMD also joined the alliance
michael@1 65 of companies that are actively developing MeeGo.
