Hi, I just received this and I think it would be interesting for the SHR community and devs :)
Sorry for all the forwarding stuff hehe ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: ya knygar <kny...@gmail.com> Date: 2011/7/26 Subject: Mozilla OS (was: Fwd: B2G and operating systems (was: Re: Booting to the Web)) To: develo...@limofoundation.org Cc: pespin.s...@gmail.com, khor...@defora.org, pen...@gmail.com, g...@openwrt.org Hello! Under the cut is a FW'ed message about possibility of using non-Android OS's in a back-end of upcoming *Mozilla OS* (http://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G - Boot 2 Gecko, actually) Welcome to participate and describe - how Your project could be used as a Web Apps platform with Mozilla's engines. Currently - Android is an obvious choice for B2G Mozilla team. If You aren't directly interested - please help to spread the message for possibly interested. Thank You, in advance! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mike Shaver <mike.sha...@gmail.com> Date: Tue, Jul 26, 2011 at 2:04 PM Subject: B2G and operating systems (was: Re: Booting to the Web) To: dev-platf...@lists.mozilla.org Lots of conversation in this thread about operating systems!

How to select an operating system on which to start our experimentation is obviously something that has a lot of variables, and people will (obviously!) have many personal opinions. Our intention is not to ship Android, any more than Android ships Linux. (Right now we don't even have a way to say what "ship" means -- we're a project and not a product still, and a nascent one at that.) Our plan of record is to start our experiments on Android for a number of reasons -- they've been posted to the thread, but I'll repeat them here: * we have experience with the Android platform which will help getting started * some pieces of it are open, and hopefully more will be later * we have existing hardware deployed and managed for automation of tests and builds * it has good device support right now, and improving rapidly * widely-available hardware that has features we want (VP8, f.e.) There may be other operating systems that are equally appropriate, or even more appropriate, in time. We *very much* welcome experiments on them, and reports of experience gained. It's been most of a decade since I last brought up an OS on new hardware Abstract advocacy about operating system choices is not really very helpful at this point, though. We have a lot of problem space ahead of us to explore, and we've chosen to start on this path. Others are welcome to do otherwise, and we hope to soon have code on github to fork (we hope to soon have code that is). If you have an impassioned argument about the architectural or moral superiority of an operating system here, but no experiential results to share, it would be better to sign up for a LiveJournal account instead, probably. :-) Thanks to everyone for their interest and contributions, though -- it is nice to have lots of conversation, even if we'll need to tune the topics a bit as we go forward.
