Just installed the meego DE (alpha) and installed power-kernel uboot too. No problems and I am frankly amazed at the transitions in this version (no tearing and very fast.....awesome). Way better than previous recent meego images. It blows away maemo. It seems the hardware adaption has been done very well and now the fun part of fleshing out the ui should take place. Well done!

Well IMHO it does'nt blow away Maemo yet, but for sure it will if we all start to contribute because it has potential to be really good :-)

Let the community show boarddirectors at Nokia it was a big mistake spit on Meego :-D

Thanks Carsten again for taking care of the maemo folks Sorry I haven't been around here, I have been focused on MeeGo for some time now.. Thanks for your comments, I am getting a positive vibe (and ignoring the negative of course)(just joking). Keep the feedback coming.

We are working hard as we can to make a good release for MeeGo Conf. Like I said on the letter, please join that effort if you want to help! Carsten and other folks can you help you get started, and also feel free to join our weekly meetings (http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N900/Devel...ition/Meetings). I hang in #meego-arm during the workdays, and whenever I can.

Jukka

It's a open source project and everyone is capable of taking benefit of it, with no royalties paid. Mikko Terho from Nokia said recently MeeGo is a businessman's distro. Except that everyone is a businessman, able to take advantage of the project. Noone can doubt the strength of a free, open source, industrial quality mobile Linux stack.

So, you're welcome to use it, even to not give any feedback. Feedback would allow the platform to become better which feeds back into your own user experience.

That is like saying Fedora or Open SuSe is a commercial project, they're clearly not, but Novell and Red Hat contribute to those projects along with the open source communities involved, a lot of which are the same communities around the same software that makes up MeeGo. Red Hat and Novell, like Intel, or Nokia, or whoever take this open source platform and then customise it, productise it and sell hardware running it.

Is it wrong that we want to have a completely free in all sense of the word operating system on our devices? That is what MeeGo is, and from my perspective there is nothing commercial about it. I sense your statement is rooted in some bitterness you have towards Nokia, but don't take that out on MeeGo and the community we're trying to build. If you cared about having a truely open platform for mobile and embedded devices, you'd probably realise what we're doing, but I guess you don't understand or care?

But like Stskeeps said above, we don't mind if you just want to test the platform for yourself and not contribute your findings back, that is your choice. The fact you have that freedom is testiment to what we're trying to acheive. But our goals are to share, contribute and improve to the best we can, MeeGo.

I just wish Ovi Maps would be somehow someday ported to MeeGo.. As the Ovi Maps on Symbian is just great..

It's unlikely outside of a Nokia MeeGo product, and even then it's not entirely likely it'll be anything like the Symbian version, though with Qt, we can only hope. Also with the limited resources that the MeeGo devices division of Nokia have now, niceties like that become even less likely. But guessing at this point is quite pointless
