MeeGo 1.2 Tablet UX: now open source

Previously, MeeGo Tablet UX was a partially open source operating system for tablet and now it has been reported that the MeeGo 1.2 Tablet UX is now officially open source – which is great news for developers of the platform. With complete access to the operating system’s innards, this means that developers will now have an easier time working out and testing out apps for the operating system. Here’s the official announcement:

We are pleased to open up development of the tablet user experience project. This release provides a touch-optimized user interface for MeeGo tablets, introducing the new panels UI concept and including a suite of built-in applications for Web browsing, personal information management and media consumption. This project is a work-in-progress under active development and considered pre-alpha. We welcome your involvement and contributions.
