By now, you may have read that The
Linux Foundation, with the support of several other companies, announced a new project,
Tizen,to build a new operating system for devices. This new project is firstand foremost open source, and based on Linux. So it begs the question:why
not just evolve MeeGo? We believe the future belongs toHTML5-based applications, outside of a relatively small percentage ofapps, and we are firmly convinced that our investment needs to shifttoward HTML5. Shifting to HTML5 doesn't just mean slapping a webruntime on an existing Linux, even one aimed at mobile, as MeeGo hasbeen. Emphasizing HTML5 means that APIs not visible to HTML5programmers need not be as rigid, and can evolve with platformtechnology and can vary by market segment.
Granted, this is a judgment on our part on which reasonable people could disagree, but that's the conclusion I came to.
But in the new project, a lot of things will be the same as they werein the MeeGo project. The Tizen project will reside within the LinuxFoundation, will be governed by a Technical Steering Group, and will bedeveloped openly with familiar and improved infrastructure. Much likeMeeGo, the Tizen project will support multiple device categories,including Tablets, Netbooks, Handsets, Smart TV, and In-VehicleInfotainment systems.
Over the next couple of months, we will be working very hard to makesure that users of MeeGo can easily transition to Tizen, and I will beworking even harder to
make sure that developers of MeeGo can alsotransition to Tizen.
I want to personally thank everyone who has participated in MeeGoover the past year and a half, and I encourage you to join us atTizen.org. We hope to use what we learned from the MeeGo project to makeTizen successful, and I hope to see you participating in Tizen!
