  • 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.

  • Qt Framework
    About Qt Qt is a framework to develop cross-platform applications. Currently, the supported platforms are Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS, Embedded Linux and some others. Genarally, it means that the programmer may develop the code on one platform but compile, link and run it on another platform. But it also means that Qt needs help: to develop software it must cooperate with development tools on specific platforms, for example in case of Windows with Visual Studio. Qt is well-known for its tools for developing graphical user interfaces (GUI) , but it also provides powerful tools for threads, networking and communication (Bluetooth, serial port, web), 3D graphics, multimedia, SQL databases, etc. Qt has its own Integrated Development Environment (IDE): QtCreator. History: 1991: version 1.0 as cross-platform GUI programming toolkit was developed and implemented by TrollTech (Norway). 2005: version 4.0 was a big step ahead but the compatibility with older versions was lost. 2008: TrollTech was sold to Nokia. 2012: Nokia Qt division was sold to Digia (Finland). 2014: Digia transferred the Qt business to Qt Company. The latest Long Term Support (LTS) version is 5.12. Official website: https://www.qt.io/ Installation The link is https://www.qt.io/download. Select the non-commercial and open source version. It may be possible that you must register yourself creating a new passworded account. Select the latest stable release and the C/C++ development system(s) you are going to use. Tip: the Qt installer proposes to store the stuff in folder C:\Qt. To avoid later complications, agree.

COM Sailfish OS Job Interview Preparation Guide. Question # 1 Tell us what you know about Sailfish OS? Answer:- Sailfish is a Linux-based mobile operating system developed by Jolla in cooperation with the Mer project and supported by the Sailfish Alliance. It is to be used in upcoming smartphones by Jolla and other licencees. Although it is primarily targeted at mobile phones, it is also intended to support other categories of devices. 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.
