Questions for Intel Elements - Seattle
 
zehjotkah is currently in Seattle at the Intel Elements.

I suggest we ask the relavent questions since the event time is short (28. - 29.) September.

Excellent question by Erendorn, so I will copy it (source):

What are the main differences compared to Meego?

What are the lessons learned from MeeGo and Nokia?

Will intel transfer existing N900CE resources over to Tizen and will there be a complete move away from all development on Arm?

  • What about Python support ?
  • What graphical toolkits will be available ?
  • Also do they plan some Aegis equivalent (hope not!) ?

  • What about the possibility for the community to support GTK+ and Qt based applications? Will this be allowed?
  • Are we able to promote them to the store?
  • What kind of packaging system will be used?
    RPM, DEB, no packaging or is it up to the vendor?

Awesome questions! Thanks a lot.
Here are the answers:

Quote:

The entire stack will be open.

sure, devices will be announced in the beginning of 2012 and come out in mid 2012.

Quote:
What are the main differences compared to Meego?
Underlying platform is mostly the same, application APIs are different, there is still some discussion going around.

Quote:

With the LiMo Foundation and WAC they have a number of industry players, not only just one partner.

Tizen will fully support ARM!
Even the AppUp Store will support ARM.
(my comment: since it's fully open souce, count 1 + 1 to know if there will be a N900 version, the most work is already done with the MeeGo CE, platform is very, very similar)

Quote:
What about Python support?
No idea
(my comment: take a look into MeeGo)

Quote:
What graphical toolkits will be available?
Known ones, no names-telling allowed yet but a hint: It is already very well known and heavily used

Quote:

The same one used already in MeeGo (not Aegis from Harmattan) SMACK based.

Quote:

There is nothing stopping the community to do anything they want.

Quote:
Are we able to promote them to the store?
There will be a compliance document – everything that goes into the store has to meet that. But yes, nothing against GTK+ and Qt based Apps in the AppUp Store. But HTML5 is encouraged.

Quote:
What kind of packaging system will be used - RPM, DEB, no packaging or is it up to the vendor?
RPM


Hope that answers many of your questions and removes a bit of uncertainty. If you have more questions please just ask! :)

These are very promising promises!
If they are kept, I'll be happy to be part of it.
