MeeGo code coming in March, will run on Atom boards and N900<br>

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.
<p>The MeeGo project began to take shape last month when Intel and
Nokia <a

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.<br>

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.<br>
<br>
"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."<br>
