Open source doesn't necessary mean community made...I mean, decisions about Meego development are taken by Nokia and Intel, not by community. Of course, if you want you can grab Meego sources, modify them and then recompile, but it's not the same: I would like to see a whole system made by us! Something like Openmoko or SHR...
