Thanks David for bring this important issue to the community's attention. I'm certain the community can solve this issue more quickly and effectively than the LF. > "The Linux Foundation have told us in private conversations that they will > not permit apps.meego.com to be served from the MeeGo.com infrastructure > hosted by them.

Shouldn't the same folks who do the Maemo forums and garage be involved?

I agree David and I must say I'm disappointed too, but I cannot say I'm surprised.
