Oops. Obviously I've missed that mail. I'm sorry about that. I think you were right. For MeeGo there's not a bit of code in public for now. But I think that won't be an issue for GSoC since we are working hard to make the debut as early as possible. > > In Intel we are starting late for the application and perhaps can't > > find many mentors before the deadline.

That's great! Thank you for your excellent work. I read the GSoC pages on maemo.org and they are very good. Since the deadline is tomorrow, is it possible for you to update the Proposal to include some background on MeeGo (and how it's related to Moblin and maemo)? Something like: "At Feb 15, 2010, Intel and Nokia announced that the Maemo and Moblin project would merge and supervised by Linux Foundation. So this GSoC project also covers ideas and projects for the upcoming MeeGo project..." (this is only my quick draft, for your reference) And if you need a back-up organization administrators, I'm willing to contribute my time. And could you please add me as a mentor? I've several ideas around MeeGo and would like to guide some students on it. My name: Yan Li maemo.org nickname: yanli My areas of expertise: MeeGo distro/OS/GNOME/X.org/C/C++/AI I'm drafting my ideas and will post them to the Project_ideas page soon (and I'm wondering whether we need a dedicated page for MeeGo-related projects so they won't confuse maemo users)... > > You can also find me on the #meego channel of freenode. > > Same here, VDVsx there :) I'm CCing this to meego-dev, as well as some guys from Intel who might be interested.
