As we now have some kernels to play with on recent versions for N8x0, I suggest we start the real work.

Tools of the choice: Fedora chroot or VM. There's problems with MIC2 currently that needs to be fixed before we have proper support on Debian/Ubuntu. This guide should get you started building RPM packages for MeeGo.

I have some tasks we need to get started on in order to get N8x0 properly supported. Who will take these?

1) Adapt the kernel source package from MeeGo to make a kernel build for the N8x0. There is some work regarding 2.6.33 already we can probably piggyback on for ARM support. The patches Termana and tmr has provided should provide a good basis for this.

2) Package up Xomap for MeeGo - there is no good omapfb driver for N8x0 for Xorg sadly. Alternatively, someone can put in effort to work on this.

3) Integrators - someone good with RPM packaging that developers can contact regarding questions.

4) Testers - we need 2-3 committed testers to test the output, documentation provided, etc.

Testers so far: rlinfati

Discussion topics:

* What should be our deployment target? My suggestion is to target at least a 2GB (mini/micro)SD card and boot from there.
* What should be initial (realistic) hardware usable for MeeGo 1.0 with N8x0 HW adaptation? Remember, MeeGo 1.0 is in May
* Should we even care about the 3d drivers or should we look into OpenVG for Qt for instance?
* What would be useful to have Nokia provide in a tablets-dev.nokia.com RPM repository (closed source bits), so people can generate images with the bits.
