Meld was launched on March 3, 2009 as an online service for the embedded Linux community. Meld's purpose is to assist embedded developers in connecting, sharing and designing embedded Linux products. The community is open to anyone.
Meld differs from traditional open source projects (kernel.org, busybox, gnu, etc.), where developers collaborate to drive a particular Linux technology forward, in that it is a place for developers to discuss how different Linux technologies work together for embedded devices.
On August 3, 2010 Meld was relaunched using entirely Open Source software, including Drupal.
MontaVista Software sponsors and develops Meld, though it is not a MontaVista-exclusive community.
