Our intent is the following:
+
We have a few [http://pandaboard.org PandaBoards] that we can provide to enable MeeGo community efforts. The PandaBoard's for this program & shipment is sponsored by Texas Instruments. We would recommend these boards be leveraged for work that cannot be done on more available hardware e.g., MeeGo running on Netbooks, Nokia N900 etc.
-
# To provide boards that helps make MeeGo rock on ARM hardware (in our case OMAP :)
+
-
# Enable meego community access to HW to do the necessary optimizations for ARM SoC's (in our case OMAP)
+
-
# Enable innovation with MeeGo that is typically possible only with development platforms (e.g., multiple display support, boot from MMC, interfacing & integration to various sensors)
+
-
When the above happens we all will benefit from it.
+
Current allocation is one device targeted to MeeGo Community per month (may be increased depending on demand and proposal quality).  The program selection committee has been empowered by TI to make all allocation decisions; TI will handle logistics.
-
Constraints (we prefer but not absolutely need to make this happen):
+
Please use the MeeGo community device request process to submit your request for consideration.  
-
* We would 'prefer' these board not be used for work that can be done on more available hardware e.g., MeeGo running on Netbooks. i.e., community council can factor if there is a need for these devices for the project.
+
Once approved the requests will be forwarded onto TI team via [https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dG5mcVNXSFFleVZjVFNtMVVqXzVYY1E6MQ PandaBoard request form] .  
-
* If boards are not activitly being used by a developer we would 'enourage' developers to pass it onto someone else in the community who can make better use of these platform.
+
-
The boards that I plan to use for this activity are coming out of quotas allocated by TI to sponsor various PandaBoard community activities (including MeeGo). I might be able to find more boards if I can get TI marketing team to foot the bill (I havent had a discussion with them yet - but can do so based on the MeeGo community needs)
+
If you have any question please ping the TI contacts on IRC.
-
With the current plans - I might be able to provide (I can confirm the exact number within the next week):
+
==Other Platforms==
-
* 4-5 Boards in Dec 2010
+
<This is just a place holder for other platforms that can be sponsored by TI for this program>
-
* 1 Board/month in 2011 (i.e., 12 boards)
+
-
* In addition: I am planning having PandaBoard.org participate with key projects to collaborate for GSoc 2011. We can also explore other opportunities e.g., MeeGo 2011 Google Summer of Code projects that required ARM/OMAP hardware. I can certainly get board allocated for Mentors as well as students.

PandaBoard

  • Backup TI Contact: Omar Baron (IRC: orbarron on irc.freenode.net)

We have a few PandaBoards that we can provide to enable MeeGo community efforts. The PandaBoard's for this program & shipment is sponsored by Texas Instruments. We would recommend these boards be leveraged for work that cannot be done on more available hardware e.g., MeeGo running on Netbooks, Nokia N900 etc.

Current allocation is one device targeted to MeeGo Community per month (may be increased depending on demand and proposal quality). The program selection committee has been empowered by TI to make all allocation decisions; TI will handle logistics.

Please use the MeeGo community device request process to submit your request for consideration. Once approved the requests will be forwarded onto TI team via PandaBoard request form .

If you have any question please ping the TI contacts on IRC.
