Hello everyone, 

I would like to initiate a new open-source community project to port FireFox OS 
to the Intel/AMD x86-64 platform. 

I'm thinking along the lines of the port for RasPi that Oleg Romashin developed 
- executing Gecko on top of a vanilla Linux kernel with only the essential 
drivers/libraries loaded. 

Supposedly this method would let us run FF-OS on an x86 PC like other Linux 
distros; e.g. Ubuntu, Fedora; just that its UI would be Gecko instead of KDE or 
Gnome. 

This way we should also be able to reduce our dependence on Android as the 
backbone of FireFox OS. 

Perhaps further down the line we could also take advantage of UEFI booting and 
B2G in < 10 seconds? 

Would anyone be interested in contributing to this effort? 

Looking forward to an exciting time ahead! 


Hugh
