3. What is MeeGo? MeeGo = best of Moblin and the best of Maemo
MeeGo is a fully open source software platform
MeeGo provides a common set of APIs across client devices with one unified voice to developers
MeeGo supports multiple hardware architectures (IA and ARM)
MeeGo is an independent project under the auspices of the Linux Foundation 3

MeeGo Core
One WebKit in the stack. Qt folks have a copy of their own. Nokia does not have two WebKit
Qt Location APIs will map over D-BUS to GeoClue Daemon. - Gap analysis and close the gap. Have not closed on Qt Mobility APIs either.
libSocialWeb – need a schedule of what it takes for Nokia to opensource
OpenGL or GL ES – either one is required
UPnP – do we require a server for all use cases.
Codecs – Gstreamer plug-in vs OpenMax; Camera – Video4Linux; There are other cameras that use OpenMax
Media Framework – Mikko needs to check what we are putting in there
Pkg Manager – PackageKit includes RPM
SyncEvolution – alternative from Nokia – multiple syncs, dynamic storage plug-in. Different clients, multiple transports; Intel needs documentation, schedule, what will be open source pieces, review in the architecture forum. How do we scale this out – mail for exchange?

OSV charge for the following based on OEM needs:
Integration of close source components; Moblin provides all open sources software and several closed source components are required to complete a distribution for an OEM platform. Some examples are closed source codecs as well as closed source drivers for components used in the OEM platform. These closed source components may be made available by the OEMs, however, the OSV has to ensure these components are integrated in the distribution.
Customizing the UI per OEM requirements; Moblin provides a rich application and UI framework based on Clutter technology; however, the reference distribution on moblin.org would include a basic reference UI; OEMs would prefer to customize the UI to deliver a rich end-user experience that can be made possible with the moblin UI framework and OSV can provide this service.
Develop additional middleware or applications per OEM requirements; these could be either or both open source applications modified/optimized to work with the rest of the stack in the distribution
Integration and validation of all Moblin and non-Moblin components on OEMs platform; The validation of the Moblin reference stack will be typically done on Intel customer reference boards and not necessarily on specific OEM platform; in order to make sure the Moblin distro put together by the OSVs is qualified on the OEM platform, the OSV and/or the OEM need to do complete validation on the final platform.
OSVs also may localize for geographic markets, coordinate upstream community activities, ensure legal compliance, and manage file and security updates.
Last but not the least is the on-going support to an OEM on all associated software services ranging from bug-fixes, enhancements and software refreshes for subsequent platforms.
