Nemo uses Mer as core and the UX is based on MeeGo Handset UX. The Nemo Mobile project continues the work started in the MeeGo Community Edition to create open community driven OS and apps.” - Nemo wiki ● Both Mer and Nemo are developed in the open – Contributions are more than welcome ● Jolla contributes heavily to both and the related upstream projects.

Linux Foundation to Host Meego Workgroup
Linux Foundation To Host MeeGo Workgroup New Open Source Software Platform Backed by Intel and Nokia will Power the Next Generation of Computing Devices SAN FRANCISCO, February 15, 2010 – The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux, today announced it will host the MeeGo project, the open source software platform for the next generation of computing devices. MeeGo combines Intel’s Moblin™ and Nokia’s Maemo projects into one Linux-based platform. MeeGo, announced today in a joint release by Intel and Nokia, will be deployed across many computing device types - including pocketable mobile computers, netbooks, tablets, mediaphones, connected TVs and in-vehicle infotainment systems, and brings together the leaders in computing and mobile communications as the project’s backers. MeeGo is designed for cross-device, cross-architecture computing and is built from the ground up for a new class of powerful computing devices. The workgroup will be hosted by the Linux Foundation as a fully open source project, encouraging community contributions in line with the best practices of the open source development model. The Linux Foundation expects MeeGo to be adopted widely by device manufacturers, network operators, software vendors and developers across multiple device types and for many organizations and developers to participate in the workgroup. “With MeeGo, you have the world’s leader in computing – Intel – uniting with the world’s leader in communications – Nokia – in a true open source project hosted at the Linux Foundation,” said Jim Zemlin, executive director at the Linux Foundation. “MeeGo has been built from the ground up for rich, mobile devices and will deliver choice to consumers without lock-in.

Read More Answers. Question # 2 Explain Sailfish OS Components? Answer:- Jolla has revealed its plans to use the following technologies in Sailfish OS: The Mer software distribution core A custom built user interface HTML5 QML and Qt Read More Answers. Question # 3 Do you know about Sailfish OS software availability? Answer:- Sailfish will be able to run most applications that were originally developed for MeeGo and Android, in addition to native Sailfish applications. This will give it a large catalogue of available apps on launch. Considering upon Jolla's declarations that Sailfish OS is be able to use software from following platforms Sailfish (natively created + ported like from Qt, Symbian, MeeGo - developers have reported that porting a Qt written software with Sailfish SDK takes a few hours only) Android applications are directly running in Sailfish OS. They are compatible as they are in third-party Android stores, with no needed modification (in most cases). MeeGo (because of backward compatibility thanks to MeeGo code legacy included in the Mer core) Unix and Linux (as Sailfish is Linux then using such a software is possible, especially RPM packages, either in terminal/console mode or with limitations implying from using Sailfish UI, if not ported and adjusted) HTML5 Read More Answers.

Sinkarenko, S. Zanzottera, V. Baggiolini, BE-CO-APS, CERN, Geneva, Switzerland Abstract technology choices for GUI, even at the cost of not using Java – our core technology – for GUIs anymore. For more than 15 years, operational GUIs for accelerator controls and some lab applications for equipment experts have been developed in Java, first with Swing and more CRITERIA FOR SELECTING A NEW GUI recently with JavaFX. In March 2018, Oracle announced that Java GUIs were not part of their strategy anymore [1]. TECHNOLOGY They will not ship JavaFX after Java 8 and there are hints In our evaluation of GUI technologies, we considered that they would like to get rid of Swing as well. the following criteria: This was a wakeup call for us. We took the opportunity • Technical match: suitability for Desktop GUI to reconsider all technical options for developing development and good integration with the existing operational GUIs. Our options ranged from sticking with controls environment (Linux, Java, C/C++) and the JavaFX, over using the Qt framework (either using PyQt APIs to the control system; or developing our own Java Bindings to Qt), to using Web • Popularity among our current and future developers: technology both in a browser and in native desktop little (additional) learning effort, attractiveness for new applications.

System Collaboration and Information Sharing Through Internet of Things
System collaboration and information sharing through Internet of Things Mälardalens Högskola School of Innovation, Design and Engineering Maja Grubisic [email protected] Tina Marsic [email protected] Thesis for the Degree of Master of Computer Science – Software Engineering 30.0 credits June, 2015. Examiner: Ivica Crnkovic Supervisors: Hongyu Pei-Breivold Mälardalens Högskola Kristian Sandström ABB AB, Corporate Research Larisa Rizvanovic ABB AB, Corporate Research Abstract The focus of this thesis is realization of system collaboration and information sharing between devices through Internet of Things. Internet of Things is a network of things, where a thing can be any device capable of acquiring an IP address. Internet of Things has been discussed in many domains. Companies are exploring the full potential of it, with the purpose of automating their services and optimizing their productivity. In this thesis we have conducted a systematic research review to investigate the existing Internet of Things solutions with respect to system collaboration and information sharing through Internet of Things. We have also implemented a prototype, using Arduino microprocessors and NUCs, to illustrate system collaboration and information sharing between the two systems.
