* [http://www.linaro.org/ Linaro] aims to make ARM open source development easier and faster. Linaro creates a common software foundation for software stacks and distributions to land on and provide the best open source tools for developers to develop on. The focus is on low level software around the Linux kernel that touches the silicon, key pieces of middleware that enable new markets and tools that help the developer write and debug code. Linaro aims to maximize the potential of the latest features of ARM-based processors, helping provide optimized performance in a lower power envelope. Linaro is both a community and a supported project with engineering teams spread globally. | * [http://www.linaro.org/ Linaro] aims to make ARM open source development easier and faster.

The situation between MeeGo and the ARM community is quite peculiar currently. The role of Intel awakes a predictable suspicion but at the same time many ARM stakeholders are increasingly involved in MeeGo related activities. The mobile focus combined with the multiple form factors targeted and the open setup make MeeGo a very interesting proposition for chipset vendors in the ARM community and device vendors shipping ARM based products.

According to the marketing strategy, it is crucial for MeeGo to be a neutral platform. This implies the engagement of chipset vendors other than Intel and device manufacturers other than Nokia. The link between this goal and the ARM community is obvious.
