MeeGo Conference 2010 Wrap-Up

By Lisa Hoover (19 posts) on December 10, 2010 at 11:20 am

The MeeGo Conference 2010 wrapped up in Dublin recently with a whole lot of information crammed into a mere three days worth of sessions. If you weren't able to attend, here's some of what you missed.

• AMD announced its intent to contribute engineering resources to the MeeGo project. Ben Bar-Haim, corporate vice president, software development, AMD said the the move will "help drive our embedded plans and create expanded market opportunities for our forthcoming Accelerated Processing Units.”

• Doug Fisher, Intel Vice President, Software and Services Group, General Manager, Systems Software Division, discussed how MeeGo brings strategic freedom to the computing ecosystem, particularly handheld devices. He says the next generation of computing devices "will be built upon a wide range of connected and intelligent devices [and] will enable new experiences that exist in between devices as much as on them." Fisher goes on to suggest that Meego's open OS is the perfect design to enable devices to work together and "support the continuous, connected experiences that define the next era of computing."

• MeeGo Community Manager Dawn Foster took an inside look at the MeeGo community metrics, based on the monthly data she collects on everything from membership numbers and content stats to the type and amount of media coverage the project gets. "The most interesting part of gathering metrics data is looking at the trends in all of these various areas over time, and the growth in the MeeGo community over the first 6 months has been impressive. While the growth is great to see and easy to measure, the really interesting part is in the analysis and looking at the conversations that people are having and the topics that generate the most discussion," says Foster.

Dozens more presentations and Birds of a Feather sessions were held during the event, including an in-depth look at MeeGo's infrastructure, MeeGo security, and how to get started with the MeeGo SDK. Check out the session summaries at the conference's website for a complete overview of all the talks. As a happy surprise, each conference attendee received a free Lenovo Ideapad, courtesy of the Linux Foundation, Nokia, and Intel, giving developers get the opportunity to test their apps on a MeeGo-powered netbook as they build them.
