Tizen Source Code Released 71
sfcrazy writes with news that developers for the Tizen project, an open source mobile OS based on MeeGo (itself a child of Moblin and Maemo), have posted a preview of their source code and SDK. They warn, "Please keep in mind that this is a very early preview and is not yet designed for use to create production applications. Further enhancements and improvements to Tizen and its development environment will continue as we work towards a formal release over the coming months." The source code is available here.
NOT based on MeeGo (Score:3, Informative)
The current Tizen is not based on MeeGo in any way at all. It was written entirely inside Samsung, Intel only joined the project at a very late stage when all the code was written.

No your right, Samsung makes decent phones, it's Motorola that's the problem, I take back 50% of my statement. Still an OS from Samsung? Seems everybody wants an OS nowadays ;)

Not a fork but a "mother of MeeGo".
Harmattan is Maemo 6.0 + Qt
MeeGo is Maemo 5.0 + Moblin 1.0/1.1 + Qt
Tizen is MeeGo + LiMo
Maemo 5.0 -> Maemo 6.0 Harmattan aka MeeGo/Harmattan
Maemo 5.0 + Qt + Moblin -> MeeGo -> MeeGo + LiMo -> Tizen
