1.35 +What is MeeGo?
1.36 +--------------
1.37 +All devices share the MeeGo core, but...

1.43 +From Wikipedia article:
1.44 + MeeGo is a Linux-based open source mobile operating system
1.45 + project. Primarily targeted at mobile devices and information
1.46 + appliances in the consumer electronics market, MeeGo is designed
1.47 + to act as an operating system for hardware platforms such as
1.48 + netbooks, entry-level desktops, nettops, tablet computers,
1.49 + mobile computing and communications devices, in-vehicle
1.50 + infotainment devices, SmartTV / ConnectedTV, IPTV-boxes,
1.51 + smart phones, and other embedded systems. MeeGo is today
1.52 + hosted by the Linux Foundation.
1.53 +
1.54 + It was first announced at Mobile World Congress in February
1.55 + 2010 by Intel and Nokia in a joint press conference. The
1.56 + stated aim is to merge the efforts of Intel's Moblin and
1.57 + Nokia's Maemo former projects into one new common project.
1.58 + According to Intel, MeeGo was developed because Microsoft
1.59 + did not offer comprehensive Windows 7 support for the Atom
1.60 + processor. Aminocom and Novell also play a large part in the
1.61 + MeeGo effort, working with the Linux Foundation on their
1.62 + build infrastructure and official MeeGo products. Amino was
1.63 + responsible for extending MeeGo to TV devices, while Novell
1.64 + is increasingly introducing technology that was originally
1.65 + developed for openSUSE, (including openSUSE Build Service,
1.66 + ZYpp for package management, and other system management
1.67 + tools). In November 2010, AMD also joined the alliance
1.68 + of companies that are actively developing MeeGo.

1.70 +Using MeeGo looks like
1.71 +----------------------
1.72 +Not worth showing Nokia videos
1.73 +Showing of Intel tablet video
1.74 +
1.75 +Commercial support
1.76 +------------------
1.77 +Nokia et Intel
1.78 +Texas Instruments
1.79 +LG and some others IVI exclusive
1.80 +Over 30 listed companies providing various types of support
1.81 +Local support by firma 4titoo on Landsberger Strasse
1.82 +Seems to be disolving with Nokia Windows Phone announcement
1.83 +
1.84 +Community support
1.85 +-----------------
1.86 +Central community repository
1.87 +Several communications vehicles
1.88 + Membership on MeeGo homepage
1.89 + Variety of mailing lists
1.90 + IRC is very popular
1.91 + Personal conferences
1.92 +
1.93 +Other support
1.94 +-------------

1.104 +
1.105 +Software package management
1.106 +---------------------------
1.107 +RPM based (like Fedora)
1.108 +Zypper based (like OpenSUSE)
1.109 +PackageKit on top of everything
1.110 +Exception is Handset image Harmattan (very Maemo like)
1.111 + Uses dpkg package management system (apt auch?)
1.112 +
1.113 +Software delivery
1.114 +-----------------
1.115 +Most common PackageKit GUI
1.116 +Various command line tools
1.117 +Rather poor 'Garage' application
1.118 +Community Apps in Beta (apps.meego.com)
1.119 +Intel AppUp providing commercial appstore
1.120 +Quite good update tools (at least on releases)
