    Time again for another meet up. Its been a while since we sat down and discussed the world of Tech. So come along and have a natter about MeeGo, Tizen, Mer, Nemo and anything else tech related that takes your fancy. Chill in a relaxed environment and if you have anything that you want to show off then drag it along (tech!!!)   [...]

    Since being featured on MeeGoExperts and other tech sites (that Engadget fella comes to mind) OpenMobile has been shunned into the limelight with its Technology that allows any non-Android / non-iOS device to seamlessly run the approximate 300,000+ Android apps (and counting). Obviously we are looking forward to these apps running on MeeGo and also Tizen in the future. They have received huge [...]

    Since the Tizen Announcement there has been little (no) further news to how this is all going to fit together. Hopefully within the next 6 short weeks that will all change with the First Ever Tizen Summit being held in Beijing, China on the 8th – 9th December. The conference will be hosted at the Beijing Marriott Hotel City Wall and promsies to gather [...]

    Since the announcement of Tizen the most contentious part of it all has been the dropping of Qt from Tizen going froward. Well Nomovok have announced a Nomovok Tizen build that has Qt integrated straight off the bat !!!! Nomovok provides Tizen with integrated Qt, both for x86 and ARM architectures. Our proven expertise on native ARM build on the OBS based Tizen [...]

  We certainly live in challenging times. Maemo / Moblin / MeeGo and Now Tizen. Not everyone is happy with the direction that MeeGo is going in and as such don’t want to blindly follow our leaders. One Answer / Proposal is “Project Mer” which aims at being: an open, inclusive, meritocratically governed and openly developed distribution, providing a mobile-optimised base distribution for use by [...]

    Earlier this Month MeeGo was not even touched on at Intel IDF. Fast forward two weeks and last night we knew that MeeGo will now become Tizen which was announcement by the Linux Foundation and Limo Foundation. Today Scott Apeland (Director of Intel’s Developer Network) was not shy with the word Tizen. Tizen is an Open Sourced Project which is Standard spaced, Cross [...]

  Today both the Linux Foundation and Limo Foundation Announced a new Operating System – “Tizen”. This Operating System is a combination of Limo and MeeGo that will eventually replace MeeGo. The project will be hosted by the Linux Foundation and led by a technical steering team composed of Intel and Samsung. As I have mentioned previously news was on the horizon and this is [...]

  Here is a Video of Raspberry Pi booting QMLviewer on Mer in 24 seconds.   The videos are starting to come in from partners we’ve sent alpha boards to at a very satisfying rate. Here’s Raspberry Pi booting QMLviewer on Mer, which is an open Maemo platform. (You’ll notice the kernel boot sequence looks a bit different from the Debian install you’ve seen in [...]

  Yesterday there was yet another announcement that sent the MeeGo world into a Samsung Flutter as the Wall Street Journal report that Samsung is planning to open source their Bada smartphone platform. Bada is not an operating system itself. It is middleware, application framework and the only feasible way to open source it would be if it was shipping as part of an Operating [...]

  Hello Planet KDE, hello RubyCorner! How To Next Steps Hello Planet KDE, hello RubyCorner! Much time has passed since i wrote my previous blog post about Kubeplayer. Things doesn’t change so much, but nowadays Kubeplayer is quite stable and doesn’t crash anymore. After a lot of difficulties I got Kubeplayer packaged for opensuse. It’s ready to install with only one click in the case [...]

    There are lots of rumours going around about the existence or potentially the “Lack of” existence of MeeGo recently. Mainly the piece from DigiTimes was the culprit. Well heres a rumour reported by netbooknews.de about Samsung being ready to step in and fly with MeeGo. Could this be true ? Well, this is something that we have also heard a few times but [...]

  It is reported by the website DigiTimes that Intel plans to temporarily discontinue development of the MeeGo OS due to a lack of enthusiasm for the platform from handset & tablet PC vendors, focusing instead on hardware products with its handset platforms to be paired with either Android or Windows Phone in 2012, according to industry sources. In response, Intel said it does not [...]

    Looks like the good people from Trim-Slice are getting together some Development Kits for you eager Developers.

They recognise the importance of having their devices in the right hands and as such have formulated a discount on the [...]

  Looking for something MeeGo TV related thats better than Sex ? Well, If such a thing exists then here it is for you. The following is the first look at XBMC running on a TrimSlice unit (nVidia Tegra2 using hardfp). Video Interface looks slick and smooth and something we have got used to seeing from Brendan Le Foll (arfoll‘s) work Sound is currently working [...]
