    ? AMD to contribute engineering resources to help drive Linux-based open source operating system ?



    DUBLIN, IRELAND ? Nov. 15, 2010 ? At the MeeGo Conference 2010, AMD today announced it has joined The Linux Foundation?s MeeGo open source Linux project, and will provide engineering expertise intended to help establish the technical foundations for next-generation mobile platforms and embedded devices.

    ?MeeGo represents an exciting, open-source mobile operating system we expect to be adopted by mobile and embedded device makers over time,? said Ben Bar-Haim, corporate vice president, software development, AMD. ?We are glad to provide engineering resources to joint industry efforts like MeeGo and expect that this operating system will help drive our embedded plans and create expanded market opportunities for our forthcoming Accelerated Processing Units.?

    ?Built from the ground up for a whole new class of mobile computing devices, MeeGo gives companies like AMD and its partners unlimited opportunities to accelerate innovation for the next generation of computing,? said Jim Zemlin, executive director at The Linux Foundation. ?As an existing Linux Foundation member, AMD will be an important and valuable contributor to the MeeGo Project.? The MeeGo Linux-based open-source operating system is primarily designed for mobile hardware platforms such as ultra-mobile notebooks, tablets, embedded in-vehicle infotainment systems and smart phones.

    The MeeGo project is hosted by The Linux Foundation, a non-profit consortium dedicated to fostering the growth of Linux. AMD is currently a gold level member of the Linux Foundation and has a seat on The Linux Foundation?s board of directors.
