The community is ready to revive HP webOS in the face of the project Phoenix
As many already know, Hewlett-Packard Corporation has abandoned the further development of the webOS operating system, designed for communicators and tablets. The failure of the project was one of the reasons for the reshuffle in the top management of the company, including the CEO Leo Apotheker. After Meg Whitman took the post of CEO, it was decided to analyze the system code and release it under the free Apache license.
According to the company's plans, the full source code of the system will be available by September 2012, but already now the list of open components allows you to get ready to work on adapting the system to your needs: the Enyo JavaScript framework, Isis project (QtWebKit) , Nyx project (platform layer - PPL), DB8 (databases), and many other components, including the Linux kernel. All of them can be found on the HP Palm Open Source and Open webOS Project .
Having received the necessary minimum for development, the community announced the start of a project supported by third-party developers, not HP. The fact is that the HP webOS team suffers rather tangible losses - before the company's failure, the leader of the design team Matthias Dyuarte with several colleagues went to Google, where he became the inspiration and performer of Holo (Honeycomb / Ice Cream Sandwich) interfaces of the Roboto font family and other visual changes of the Android system. Now, the leading developers of the Enyo framework have also left the team. They went on the beaten path Duarte to Google. In order to be ready to catch the support of the system, independent developers Daniel Giovannetti and Yusif Abdulla launched the Phoenix project, which will provide further support for webOS after the release of the source codes. The team is still small, but after Engadget shed light on the activities of the project, Phoenix leaders received a lot of letters willingly to support.
If there are developers on Habrahabr who are interested in continuing the story of Palm, then they can join its webOS.
