Excellent, thank you so much for this. "Next train leaving in <x> minutes" is sweet.


[n.b. I work for Intel on MeeGo]

MeeGo Netbook uses Clutter. It also supports Qt applications. Other products from our partners have used Clutter and I would expect them to use Clutter in the future.


Thanks for the correction.

I had been under the assumption that switching all the various GUIs over to Qt was part of the reason why MeeGo came to be in the first place... That is, the point was to harmonize mobile Linux by settling on common components even if that means abandoning some work (e.g. rpm packages instead of Maemo's apt, Qt instead of GTK+).

If MeeGo didn't even accomplish that, I have to question why Maemo and Moblin were ever merged. The two projects would have probably fared better on their own, without the uncertainty of the MeeGo reset. Now both lost their momentum and have been painted as part of the "MeeGo flop", undeservedly or not.


I know you cant speak on behalf on Intel, but pretty much the "is supported by the open source community. Its development is sponsored by Intel." on http://clutter-project.org still stands ?


I can guarantee that it works pretty well on the ExoPC.


Somebody should package GNOME Shell for MeeGo. Another cool UX :-)


They are now offered in the Android Kindle application as well.


So much so that they actually licenced the Joltid technology that they spun out of Kazaa. There was a lawsuit:

There were in fact several lawsuits related to licencing this stuff.


Sole carrier with Skype in the USA.


Go-OO is maintained as a series of patches which can be applied independently by distributions to add or remove features; this is intended to replace the OOo project entirely.

Or, to try and use a historical analogy, this is the tipping point from 'a patchy server' to Apache.


Yes. And since I lived in the UK my government impounded Icelandic owned assets up to their value[1] to pay me back my money. Yay for international relations!

Yeah. Those were strange times. The PM had the decency to threaten to use anti-terrorism laws against Iceland!


I believe Amazon use AT&T's roaming relationships rather than having to do deals with operators in each country, so the device is always using roaming data when it's not in the USA, thus the reason they turn off some of the features that use more bandwidth for international users.


Okay, that would explain it. Turns out that AT&T has no data roaming in Finland, at least according to this list: http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/international/dataconnect-...

It's AT&T who doesn't have a deal with Finnish operators and not Amazon, then. I still have to wonder why, though.
