Jan 26 HP To Open Source WebOS completely By September 2012

After stopping people from performing funeral dirges for webOS, the HP is hard at work to soothe its OS in any way. In an effort to achieve the goal, HP announced its aim to open source webOS approx one and a half month ago. The company today announced its timetable for releasing the source code of webOS. The OS will start its journey in parts from now and the company’s target for offering the complete OS and developer package will be completed in September this year.

The webOS code will be made available under the Apache License, Version 2.0.

• January: The trip will commence with Enyo 2.0 and Enyo source code. This Enyo will allow developers to write apps that work on a variety of webOS form factors.
• February: The process continues in February by releasing the intended project governance model, QT WebKit extensions, JavaScript core, and UI Enyo widgets.
• March: Linux standard kernel, Graphics extensions EGL, LevelDB, USB extensions
• April: Ares 2.0, Enyo 2.1, Node services
• July: System manager (“Luna”), System manager bus, Core applications, Enyo 2.2
• August: Build release model, Open webOS Beta, Open webOS 1.0

If you are wondering the webOS 1.0 (mentioned above) as the old webOS, stop doing it because it is the version counter getting reset for the new horizons of open source.
