==> MeeGo Developer Community Grows as Ecosystem System Support Broadens <==

Companies from a broad range of sectors have committed to and are
participating in the MeeGo project. Comments from more than 25 companies
supporting the project are available on the Linux Foundation website:
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/node/6144.

 This participation translates into millions of developer hours dedicated to
cross-device compatibility, application portability and the user experience
for MeeGo-based devices. Contributors are attracted to MeeGo because it
extends reach beyond just smartphones to also include connected televisions,
in-vehicle infotainment systems, netbooks and more. MeeGo is the result of
the merger of Intel's Moblin and Nokia's Maemo platforms and is hosted by
The Linux Foundation.
