The Mer platform is a Linux distribution for mobile devices based on the Maemo platform from Nokia. Mer goals include:
- Improving and developing parts of Maemo that are of interest to the Maemo community.
- Making it easier to port existing desktop applications by hildonizing and adjusting them to the tablet form factor.
- Encouraging third party experimentation and development.
- Supporting tablet hardware no longer receiving updated OS software by Nokia.
- Making Maemo a generic platform for all tablet devices, including non-Nokia ones.
- Focusing Maemo community efforts in platform-related areas
Mer platform development will be done in the open, with public SCM repository, bugtrackers, and Wiki-based blueprint discussion.
We should stop seeing the tablets as strictly under-powered embedded systems, and see them for what they really are: powerful, power-efficient, economical handheld computers.
Historically, the Mer platform came from a discussion on reconstructing Maemo and a desire to make a proof of concept system of the thoughts in this proposal (M-R PoC), which developed into Mer after realization that it was a viable direction of development.
Sprints
Sprint January 2008 and before: Basic installable image
The purpose of this milestone:
- To provide a basic installable image, both through installer and through flashing, for N8x0 tablets.
- The image must include a basic user interface and ability to connect to Wi-Fi networks.
- To provide a installer and image for 770 tablets.
- To provide initial developer tools so we can start developing for the tablets
- Prepare for next milestone in terms of collaborative
