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.

The GNOME Platform is very modular, that's one of the reasons it's such a popular choice for embedded work. For a simple embedded device, there's no reason to have more than 32MB RAM for the GNOME Mobile Platform, X and your application. All of the optimisation and performance work happening in the embedded space is improving GNOME for your PC! :-)
