[MeeGo-community] MeeGo Community device program update

[Randall Arnold]

Greetings all,

It's been a while since I updated everyone on this list with what's going
on around the MeeGo Community device program [1], so here you go:

- several of us have been shaping up a database model and application
framework for an online device request system.  I'm still not clear on
who will be implementing this, but I believe the proposal that Ferenc and
I have put together is a good one.  More on this as details solidify.

- I am still trying to get more providers in.  I heard from the AAVA rep
again today but no actual progress yet-- he hopes to free time up this
week to talk with me.  I also reached out to GENIVI to see about
including the dev device they expect to have out in September for
automotive use.  Cross your fingers, IVI fans!  In addition, I have added
a new table to the wiki for tracking proposals/requests for provider
participation [2].  Feel free to help out there!  Also propose devices
[3].

- I was just down in Austin for the Texas Linux fest this last Saturday
[4] and got to talk with Jayabharath Goluguri from TI about Pandaboards
there.  TI is eager to get some into the hands of MeeGo members with big
ideas!  So pending the introduction of our online solution, email myself,
Dawn Foster and Brian Warner (included on this email) with your
proposals, based on the form requirements [5].  We'll pass the approved
requests on to TI!

Special thanks to Nathan Willis and Till Harbaum for agreeing to be
device champions (IVI and Beagleboard, respectively).  We are looking for
more volunteers, and there are many ways to help!  See the forum thread
[6] for more details.

* Note: the meego-dev list was added as an FYI only.  All general replies
need to go to meego-community.

Thanks all!
