Oki, yet another revision, I'm happy with that :) Are you fellows? :) (/me likes the way of putting a logical stop to an action by asking if everyone is happy with it :)) Completely agree with Sivang: we'll adjust it as we start getting actual reaction on social sites.
But the bleeding parts I addressed in the current version below are: * "Mer -can- power a vast range of devices", it doesn't power e.g. smart TVs atm (yet ;)) - this disperses first confusion of a non-geek reader (see my prev email) * "Become a -developer- and enjoy". Nemo is still not for end-users, and putting it on your tablet requires you to be a developer (and how!) - disperses second confusion * Invented a verb "to Nemo-power sth", think it's comprehensible * Added IRC link, for those who think #nemomobile is a hashtag :) Here it goes: NemoMobile The future of mobile is in our hands - today. Presenting Linux operating system for your mobile! Feature rich. Free and open source. First of its kind. At the heart of NemoMobile runs the lightweight Linux distro (called Mer), which can power a vast range of devices: from interactive alarm clocks to car entertainment systems and smart TVs. Become a developer and enjoy. Nemo-power your mobile phone, tablet, LCD shopping list on your fridge, ... , and share the experience! If you mold it to make tea, invite us! The more users the merrier. The more feedback the better. It's pure fun, and we're one of the friendliest open-source communities you've ever met. Excited? So are we -- join us at irc:// freenode.net/#nemomobile or leave a comment here and lets influence the future of mobile, together! -- Was playing with Nemo on N9, now looks and feels really great, as my UK SIM cards started to work, and N9 performs really fast now! (L2 cache enabling bug fixed!) Will start to make nice screenshots and video casts (also one user luring is missing: ringtones still do not work! I'm looking into the status of that, bug NEMO#593) Can't wait for first logos and cover photos from you ! :) Cheers, Simonas On 12 December 2012 22:31, Sivan Greenberg <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > On Wed, Dec 12, 2012 at 10:53 PM, Simonas Leleiva < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> We quite often mentioned a phrase "easier to understand for non-geeks" in >> this thread. >> >> Are we targetting tech-inclined gadget-lovers?
