I think it went quite well considering this was a group of up-paid volunteers and a few paid Nokia guys. Would I think the meeting went well with a bunch of paid employees only, no, but the focus does seem to be getting more professional, maybe because the majority of the council has been there before and knows what to expect?

As for the Mer guys, they are very important to the legacy Nokia is leaving behind with the n8x0 line and should be consulted vehemently. Its all to easy to concentrate on whats shiny and new but one of my gripes with the 770 way back (http://linuxuk.blogspot.com/2007/08/...urage-new.html) was that with the pace of development as it is (and I'm a developer so I should know) its all too easy to leave legacy hardware behind. Mer and to an extent liqbase is doing a great job of squeezing every last inch out of the hardware and this should definitely be taken in to consideration as the n810 and n800 get even further discounts, and hence exposure, come n900 time. The council should have part of the agenda concentrated on appeasing the 'old boys' once the new hardware becomes available.
