This is a very interesting development as a possible base platform for a future fully html based Sugar. B2G always felt like the perfect platform for it, if not because it wouldn't (fully) work on a normal Linux distro. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Hugh Tay <<a href="mailto:hugh@hadronization.com">hugh@hadronization.com</a>> Date: Tuesday, 25 February 2014 Subject: [b2g] Introducing B2G to x86 To: <a href="mailto:dev-b2g@lists.mozilla.org">dev-b2g@lists.mozilla.org</a> Hello everyone, I would like to initiate a new open-source community project to port FireFox OS to the Intel/AMD x86-64 platform. I'm thinking along the lines of the port for RasPi that Oleg Romashin developed - executing Gecko on top of a vanilla Linux kernel with only the essential drivers/libraries loaded. Supposedly this method would let us run FF-OS on an x86 PC like other Linux distros; e.g. Ubuntu, Fedora; just that its UI would be Gecko instead of KDE or Gnome. This way we should also be able to reduce our dependence on Android as the backbone of FireFox OS. Perhaps further down the line we could also take advantage of UEFI booting and B2G in < 10 seconds? Would anyone be interested in contributing to this effort? Looking forward to an exciting time ahead!
