First Signs Of Wayland Running On Android

Name complaints

People MOAN and COMPLAIN about code names for one-shot projects, but HERE we have two projects, Weston and Wayland, which are NOT temporary for releases, but the actual permanent names of the projects.

If you are familiar with the namesake towns in Eastern Massachusetts, you will understand RIGHT AWAY how STUPID it was to name these Free Technologies for Everyman, after these towns. These towns are the Scourge of Massachusetts, they think that their trees and water and air and sunshine belong to THEMSELVES and no others. They are the ONLY towns in Massachusetts that have declined to take part in the Eastern Massachusetts Bikeway, and so GREAT PAINS have had to be taken to re-route the trail to deal with these SNOOTY RICH PEOPLE who don't want those criminals with their bicycles invading their town.

The FOOLS were taken in by studies showing that bicycle trails attract crime but NEGLECTED to notice that ABANDONED RAILROAD tracks attract EVEN MORE crime!

Why not names these technologies after hard working blue collar Massachusetts towns like Townsend or Gardner.

BEEFY MIRACLE will soon and shortly forgotten but these terrible names will be with us for a long time.

I must add that in all my years and thousands of miles of bicycling in many states that the ONLY time I have ever had something thrown at me from a moving car was in Weston.

By completely removing all Wayland support on 2012-04-07?

pekka i have a question (since i know you participate here from time to time)


is this work purely a collabora project or they have been contracted by someone else to do that???

What's the objective of running wayland on something that once ran Android?
I.e., what you end up with here is....
hardware --> kernel --> display driver --> wayland --> ??? --> acid trip --> profit
instead of...
hardware --> kernel --> display driver --> android

Note: It is no longer Android once you replace Android with wayland....
