Mer is a Linux distribution for mobile devices, based on the Maemo platform from Nokia. Mer goals include:
|
Mer is not a Nokia project. It was started and is run by maemo.org community members. |
Releases
If you want to download a Mer release - see Mer Releases, latest is Mer 0.6.
Mission
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.
