I have read the meego mailing list. There is to be a decision on build system and how to make the project widely of interest.
Will you still be work with maemo community? and with Cordia project? You are certainly welcome to. We have funding, infrastructure, etc., and of course we were the original home of Mer. I encourage you to read our revised freedom in maemo for software development

If all that pans out, users will be able to install Plasma/CE/Cordia on their devices [with Mer running under the hood, as an implementation detail]

We're not entirely bound within that space, though, so I don't think it's completely appropriate to just jump in and make ourselves at home: we aren't limiting ourselves to just the Nokia devices, and a lot of the software we're talking about differs.
In terms of infrastructure, etc, a lot of details still need to be worked out (i.e. how exactly Mer's repositories are going to be shared, etc), but currently things are looking like they can be managed quite well on a shoestring budget and ported around pretty easily, so I don't expect we have any needs (if any) - but thanks for the offer, it's nice to know we have alternatives if need be.

If things come back to maemo and move forward as Mer, a lot of momentum will surely build. I'm sure a lot of the "i'm leaving" brigade peek in, through the one-way way glass of not signing in. If things are really stiring, then this could be quite an exiting place to be ... and may draw back old talent as well as new ... hopefully! Perhaps Meego folding was a good thing for maemo.org?
For those who'd like to know more and potentially offer some input, where's the best place to head at the moment? Everything seems quite fragmented at the moment so apologies if that info's clearly written somewhere!
Lastly, although some contributions to this thread have seemed quite ranty-shouty, getting the responses from the Mer team (and others) out in black and white, for all us maemo folks to see has been quite useful. Again, apologies if the re-iteration has given you sore throats. It was worth it, for the benefit of all the rest of us. Thank you.
