 From Wikipedia article:

   MeeGo is a Linux-based open source mobile operating system

   project. Primarily targeted at mobile devices and information

   appliances in the consumer electronics market, MeeGo is designed

   to act as an operating system for hardware platforms such as

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

   mobile computing and communications devices, in-vehicle

   infotainment devices, SmartTV / ConnectedTV, IPTV-boxes,

   smart phones, and other embedded systems. MeeGo is today

   hosted by the Linux Foundation.

   It was first announced at Mobile World Congress in February

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

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

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

   According to Intel, MeeGo was developed because Microsoft

   did not offer comprehensive Windows 7 support for the Atom

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

   MeeGo effort, working with the Linux Foundation on their

   build infrastructure and official MeeGo products. Amino was

   responsible for extending MeeGo to TV devices, while Novell

   is increasingly introducing technology that was originally

   developed for openSUSE, (including openSUSE Build Service,

   ZYpp for package management, and other system management

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

   of companies that are actively developing MeeGo.

 Using MeeGo looks like video

 ----------------------------

 Not worth showing Nokia videos

 Showing of Intel tablet video

 Commercial support

 ------------------

 Nokia et Intel

 Texas Instruments

 LG and some others IVI exclusive

 Over 30 listed companies providing various types of support

 Local support by firma 4titoo on Landsberger Strasse

 Seems to be disolving with Nokia Windows Phone announcement

 Community support

 -----------------

 Central community repository

 Several communications vehicles

   Membership on MeeGo homepage

   Variety of mailing lists

   IRC is very popular

   Personal conferences

 Other support

 -------------

 Linux Foundation very involved

   Hosting

   Mediation

   Steering

   Coordinating

 Licenses used

 -------------

 90% source code uses GPLv3 or GPLv2

 Software package management

 ---------------------------

 RPM based (like Fedora)

 Zypper based (like OpenSUSE)

 PackageKit on top of everything

 Exception is Handset image Harmattan (very Maemo like)

   Uses dpkg package management system (apt auch?)

 Software delivery

 -----------------

 Most common PackageKit GUI

 Various command line tools

 Rather poor 'Garage' application

 Community Apps in Beta (apps.meego.com)

 Intel AppUp providing commercial appstore

 Quite good update tools (at least on releases)
