So what does this mean to those of us who where waiting for IVI (and
really Moblin v2.) to reach a stable release?
Seriously, is this just a nice way for Intel to make it all "go away"?
(i.e. some cost accountant suddenly realized that Intel is NOT
principally a software company?)
Since Intel has washed their hands of it, what would be the incentive
for anyone else (read: 'Linux Foundation") to implement Intel's IVI
initiative?
I really wasn't looking to broaden the port to an ARM CPU (there are
already plenty of options for that CPU), but in any event, it would have
been nice to actually get a stable Atom Moblin v2 release and it would
have REALLY been nice to get ANY release of the Congatec IVI BSP to work
with Moblin, before it was "kicked to the curb".
Rusty your on the steering committee, can you tell us what the new
timeline is (especially in regard to IVI)?
Any what, if any, future involvement will the Intel development team (do
they still have jobs?) have with Moblin and IVI?
Because right now I am feeling that I made a big mistake pursuing an
Intel Atom based IVI system (i.e. "Congatec"), since it now appears
that Moblin and IVI are "dead projects", can you tell me why I
shouldn't feel that way, and continue to hold out hope for an Intel
based IVI system?
Thanks,
Chris

Linux Foundation to Host Moblin Project
The Linux Foundation (LF), the nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating
the growth of Linux, today announced it will host the industry's most advanced
and open Linux-based mobile project, Moblin. Created in 2007, Moblin is an open
source project that supports Linux-based software platforms, and is optimized
for the next generation of mobile devices, including netbooks, mobile Internet
devices (MID), in-vehicle infotainment systems, and other embedded devices.
The first developer meeting for the Moblin project, under the Linux Foundation,
will take place at the Annual Collaboration Summit April 8-10, 2009, in San
Francisco. http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/collaboration-summit
