MeeGo keynote address at Akademy 2010

“To say you are “redefining the Linux desktop landscape” is a
bold claim to make. It is even bolder when presenting a non-KDE
project at the annual conference of KDE, one of the leading
providers of desktop Linux software. However, that was exactly how
Valtteri Halla, Director of Nokia MeeGo Software chose to title his
keynote address.

“MeeGo is a complete Linux-based operating system born out of
the merger of Nokia’s Maemo for mobile smart phones and Intel’s
Moblin for Atom-powered netbooks. However, as Valtteri explained,
it has aims far beyond phones and netbooks and should provide a
single platform for deploying software across a range of devices
all the way up to media centers. This makes MeeGo of particular
interest to KDE as KDE’s Plasma workspace technology was designed
with exactly this in mind: supporting the full spectrum of devices
with the same code base.

“So, what makes MeeGo special? Valtteri claims a number of
strengths”
