MeeGo code coming in March, will run on Atom boards and N900
By Ryan Paul | Last updated 2 days ago

In an announcement published last week, Nokia's Valtteri Halla revealed 
that Intel and Nokia are planning to launch the public MeeGo source code 
repository by the end of the month.

The MeeGo project began to take shape last month when Intel and Nokia 
announced 
<http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2010/02/intel-and-nokia-unite-their-linux-platfroms-to-create-meego.ars> 
plans to merge their respective Linux-based mobile computing platforms 
into a single open source software project. The unified software 
platform, which consists of technology from Maemo and Moblin, will be 
designed for use on a wide range of device form factors and will support 
both ARM and x86 architectures.

The convergence process seems to have gotten a promising start. When the 
source code is made available at the end of the month, it will include 
basic support for running on Atom test boards and Nokia's N900 
smartphone. This is a promising sign for N900 owners, who were initially 
concerned that they might get left behind by the new mobile software 
platform.

"Nokia and Intel have set the target to open the MeeGo repository by the 
end of this month. I guess this is something that finally will signify 
the real 'Day One' of MeeGo project, a genuine merger of moblin and 
maemo," wrote Halla. "What is scheduled to be available then is the 
first and very raw baseline to a source and binary repository to build 
MeeGo trunk on Intel ATOM boards and Nokia N900."
