My guess is that they're all closed and CSSU is it. I would just appreciate it if someone would just say so explicitly.

Back when the N900 was just out if Nokia just stuck to their guns and held on to Maemo and knocked out Harmattan without the distraction of MeeGo I wonder if we'd be in a different place. I guess we'll never know.
Hi,

Quick comment: We're still alive, kicking and we are just finishing up last touches of the N950 release before we do a formal announcement of the Fall Release.

We have rebased on MeeGo 1.3 Core instead and it brings along immense performance improvements and honestly, it feels very good and useful.

The CE has just moved on to a new steering group form based on meritocracy - and they will decide the direction of CE going forward. The steering group members are:

Jukka Eklund (jukkaeklund), Tom Swindell (alterego), Marko Saukko (Sage), Carsten Munk (Stskeeps), Vesa-Matti Hartikainen (veskuh)

What will this new Tizen news mean in practice? Remember, that when it comes down to everything, most Linux distributions share a same set of packages for basic system software, like bash, glibc, etc. It means that you share the load of work.

The Tizen news makes compliance a hell lot easier. You need to be sure to implement the HTML5 + WAC apis for html5 apps, that's it. Compared to "you shalt have this version of glib".

It's easy to imagine simple Tizen deriatives that uses Qt for it's differentiation. Tizen uses OBS and RPM, too - and has a ARM port based on the effort put into MeeGo.

Initial thoughts, from myself, is simply to run a Tizen deriative that includes Qt and that we can sit the CE UI on top.

Needless to say, we're still active and contributions are coming in. Hope you'll enjoy the Fall release.

P.S. We have a Intel architecture build of the CE image now too.

@ stskeeps
thanks for the update. Can you advise if intel is willing to continue support (at least in the short term) for the N900CE team, in the form of bugfixes etc, or should we expect a move to Tizen core after the formal 1.3 release wiht a focus on Qt integration?

support your comments re the latest daily build. much quicker and more responsive all round. thanks for all your (and the entire N900Ce team) hard work.

Let's see how things go - Intel will probably only focus on Tizen, but keep in mind that it's very likely Tizen shares a -lot- with MeeGo Core.

So Tizen basically is Meego with gtk/qt stripped out?

I can't talk for CSSU, but from my perspective, MeeGo CE is not closed. How exactly we'll continue work is still a bit up in the air, but it will happen, as there's a lot of determined individuals and invested companies in keeping MeeGo ticking over.

See: http://blog.rburchell.com/2011/09/be...en-source.html for some links to some of the discussions ongoing, and "watch this space" as it says.

I can't talk for Meego CE but one can check commits and merge requests here and draw his/her conclusions whether CSSU is closed

Well, that's part of it. Will they be in the core repo, or (assuming compliance policy equivalent or more braindead than meego's) will every Qt/GTK+ app have to bundle the entire stack along with it?

No exact clue. The important thing is that it's not banned. The app story is HTML5.

What I personally care about is the core stack

@Stskeeps - Thanks for the update. It's good to see the progress you continue to make. When might there be a version of MeeGo that is usable on a daily basis. Would that run N9 apps without modification?

I'm just trying to nail down what is there for the N900 coming in the future besides CSSU updates. Thanks.
