Introduction to Mer

Mer aims to be a FOSS, inclusive, meritocratically governed and openly developed Core optimised for QML/JS, providing a mobile-optimised base distribution for use by device manufacturers. Mer is based upon the work from the Core section of the MeeGo project.

We have some clear goals:

  • To be openly developed and governed as a meritocracy -- see Governance for details
  • That the primary customers of the platform are device vendors – not end-users. info
  • To have a device manufacturer oriented structure, processes and tools: make life easy for them
  • To provide a device oriented architecture, see Architecture for details
  • To be inclusive of technologies (such as Sailfish/Qt/HTML5)
  • To innovate in the mobile OS space
