Tizen is realized from a new open source project utilizing the Linux kernel and a range of established upstream open source projects. Tizen will support multiple device categories, such as smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, netbooks, and in-vehicle infotainment devices.
Tizen is backed by all major mobile Linux proponents and is positioned to serve the industry as a strong independent device platform supported by a collaborative governance structure.
The Tizen project is hosted by the Linux Foundation, with engineering governance provided by a Technical Steering Group.
