    40 From Wikipedia article:

    41   MeeGo is a Linux-based open source mobile operating system

    42   project. Primarily targeted at mobile devices and information

    43   appliances in the consumer electronics market, MeeGo is designed

    44   to act as an operating system for hardware platforms such as

    45   netbooks, entry-level desktops, nettops, tablet computers,

    46   mobile computing and communications devices, in-vehicle

    47   infotainment devices, SmartTV / ConnectedTV, IPTV-boxes,

    48   smart phones, and other embedded systems. MeeGo is today

    49   hosted by the Linux Foundation.

    51   It was first announced at Mobile World Congress in February

    52   2010 by Intel and Nokia in a joint press conference. The

    53   stated aim is to merge the efforts of Intel's Moblin and

    54   Nokia's Maemo former projects into one new common project.

    55   According to Intel, MeeGo was developed because Microsoft

    56   did not offer comprehensive Windows 7 support for the Atom

    57   processor. Aminocom and Novell also play a large part in the

    58   MeeGo effort, working with the Linux Foundation on their

    59   build infrastructure and official MeeGo products. Amino was

    60   responsible for extending MeeGo to TV devices, while Novell

    61   is increasingly introducing technology that was originally

    62   developed for openSUSE, (including openSUSE Build Service,

    63   ZYpp for package management, and other system management

    64   tools). In November 2010, AMD also joined the alliance

    65   of companies that are actively developing MeeGo.

    67 Using MeeGo looks like

    68 ----------------------

    69 Not worth showing Nokia videos

    70 Showing of Intel tablet video

    72 Commercial support

    73 ------------------

    74 Nokia et Intel

    75 Texas Instruments

    76 LG and some others IVI exclusive

    77 Over 30 listed companies providing various types of support

    78 Local support by firma 4titoo on Landsberger Strasse

    79 Seems to be disolving with Nokia Windows Phone announcement

    81 Community support

    82 -----------------

    83 Central community repository

    84 Several communications vehicles

    85   Membership on MeeGo homepage

    86   Variety of mailing lists

    87   IRC is very popular

    88   Personal conferences

    90 Other support

    91 -------------

    92 Linux Foundation very involved

    93   Hosting

    94   Mediation

    95   Steering

    96   Coordinating

    98 Licenses used

    99 -------------

   100 90% source code uses GPLv3 or GPLv2

   102 Software package management

   103 ---------------------------

   104 RPM based (like Fedora)

   105 Zypper based (like OpenSUSE)

   106 PackageKit on top of everything

   107 Exception is Handset image Harmattan (very Maemo like)

   108   Uses dpkg package management system (apt auch?)

   110 Software delivery

   111 -----------------

   112 Most common PackageKit GUI

   113 Various command line tools

   114 Rather poor 'Garage' application

   115 Community Apps in Beta (apps.meego.com)

   116 Intel AppUp providing commercial appstore

   117 Quite good update tools (at least on releases)
