Gnome 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.

I don't expect, for example, that anyone's going to run the GNOME desktop itself on a cellphone or media player.


I've done it on a Zaurus just to prove it could be done. Reminded me of the dancing bear, only a lot slower.

You haven't lived until you've brought FireFox up on a QVGA screen.
