OpenedHand developers will join the Intel Open Source Technology Center

Chip giant Intel has acquired London-based mobile Linux development firm OpenedHand.

The firm, which counts Nokia, Intel and One Laptop per Child among its customers, is a significant contributor to the Gnome desktop software project.

Members of its team have contributed to projects such as the Linux kernel, X Window System, Debian, OpenEmbedded, GTK+, GStreamer and Abiword.

"The OpenedHand team will join the Intel Open Source Technology Center and will focus on the development of the Moblin Software Platform, the optimised software stack for Intel Atom processors," said a statement on the OpenedHand web site.

Intel, meanwhile, will continue to support open source projects being led by OpenedHand developers, such as the Clutter and Matchbox projects, said OpenedHand.
