The Tizen Association, formerly the LiMo Foundation (short for Linux Mobile), is a non-profit consortium which develops and maintains the Tizen mobile operating system. Tizen is a Linux-based operating system for smartphones and other mobile devices. The founding members were Motorola, NEC, NTT DoCoMo, Panasonic Mobile Communications, Samsung Electronics, and Vodafone. The consortium's work resulted in the LiMo Platform—which was integrated into mobile phone products from NEC, Panasonic and Samsung—and later became the Tizen platform.

LiMo & Tizen
In the end of September 2011 it was announced by the Linux Foundation that MeeGo will be totally replaced by the Tizen mobile operating system project during 2012. Tizen will be a new free and open source Linux-based operating-system which itself will not be released until the first quarter of 2012. Intel and Samsung, in collaboration with the LiMo Foundation and assisting MeeGo developers, have been pointed out to lead the development of this new software platform, using third-party developer frameworks that will primarily be built on the HTML5 and other web standards.https://www.engadget.com/2011/09/28/meego-to-be-folded-into-linux-based-tizen-os-slated-to-arrive-i/ MeeGo to be folded into Linux-based Tizen OS, slated to arrive in 2012 MeeGo is dead: Meet Tizen, another new open source OS based on Linuxhttps://meego.com/community/blogs/imad/2011/whats-next-meego What's Next for MeeGohttps://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=OTk1Mg Tizen Is Announced; MeeGo Will Transition To Ithttp://www.tizen.org Tizen Official Website As of October 2012, the LiMo website traffic is redirected to tizen.org.
