Moblin is (and was) very developer orientated. The good side of this
is that the Moblin guys really get things done - the downside is that
there was never the real need for the community structures in place
which Maemo had.
The only community orientated resource I know of is a mailing list for
the Brazilian Moblin community
https://lists.moblin.org/mailman/listinfo/moblin-br
and there was never a need to create a council around that. They did
however run a competition for app building using the Moblin platform
and this was extremely popular (this was interestingly run in both
Brazil and India but nowhere else as I remember).
The prize was devices (like the Developer Device Program in Maemo).
Intel are also very keen to stimulate entrepreneurship around the
Moblin platform with a specific VC program related to it. I am sure
this will continue for Meego

In my opinion, Maemo was and is the same, "developer focused". The fact
that internettablettalk has been integrated into the maemo community
(talk.maemo.org) has not stopped this. It has just created two separate
communities that thus far have refused to integrate into a single entity.
Since SSO and linking the mailing list with the forums have failed to
happen, it has left a community divided and many of them don't even know
about the other, nor should the community expect its users to follow on
5 separate mediums to be able to get the whole picture.
