Mer

An open, community-led, Linux distribution for mobile devices

Former goals
Mer is now an inactive project, due to the introduction of the MeeGo (http://www.meego.com) project which shares a similar mission as Mer. Mer was a community research project into an open and openly developed Maemo platform.


 * Integrate the best solutions for a wide variety of small form-factor devices
 * Encourage wider access to device capabilities through the Vendor Social Contract
 * Demonstrably provide an easy route to market for vendors
 * Dramatically reduce costs to vendors of supporting EOL hardware
 * Focus, harness and support community contributions to the platform
 * Encourage and ease migration of existing applications
 * Support experimentation, innovation and development

or, to put it another way:


 * As much of Fremantle as we can get on the N8x0

We're hanging out on #mer on FreeNode IRC (irc.freenode.net) if you would like to discuss Mer (here's a web based IRC client) and you can follow all the chat on the IRClog.signals forex
