So, Intel decided to left MeeGo, it's clear that their effort on the platform has gone. We need to organize the community to keep MeeGo development.
Why? (Honestly, why *must* we organise the community?)
I think that many other companies have interest in continue the development of MeeGo. Metasys consider MeeGo the best sollution available for Netbook platform and we are already deploying MeeGo on schools. For us the development continue, i think we (the community) need to settle new goals and reorganize the governance of MeeGo.
MeeGo is a collection of open source software components. Tizen will also be a collection of open source software components. which of those components will be different? There will certainly be a few, but I don't know how many. Which of the new components are currently closed and will need to be freed, and which of them are already free? I don't know.
Are there any software projects that people are attached to, which will not be part of Tizen? Dunno... I guess there was a nascent Buteo community, there's a little momentum around ConnMan (but as far as I can see, almost none around oFono); all of the netbook GTK+ based apps and components (all the "zones") appear to have no community at all.
I guess what I'm saying is, what's the difference between MeeGo and Tizen? And if they're not that different, why stay here, rather than go there?
