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 link building 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.
Read Documentation / Development Status.
See tasks, blueprints, proposals and user reactions for the project.</div>
