The GNOME Foundation announced today the GNOME Mobile and Embedded Initiative (GMAE) today at the Embedded Linux Conference in Santa Clara, Calif. The initiative is aimed at bolstering GNOME usage as an embedded and mobile development platform. The initiative has been in development since last year, says GNOME Foundation board member Jeff Waugh. The platform will be distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL). In the next 12 months the group plans to add a mobile email framework called Tinymail, the GeoClue geolocation service, Java Mobile & Embedded (Java ME), PulseAudio audio management, and the HAL hardware information system.

Gnome on the mobile? Gnome on embedded devices ? I hope they can make it fit ? I am running gnome 2.1x on 256MB,PIII and they want to fit this on an embedded device. It's not like they have an integrated toolkit like Qt, or platform like Java to "cut back", but they have a full desktop environment that is not as well integrated as the above examples to cut back ? That's a lot of work and hacking. I hope the company adoption follows to make this expensive community effort worth it
