b/c i leaked the news hours before the event any way atleast they would not of had a shock and worried

Well, he was supposed to be a community proxy and be involved, but it sounds like it didn't work out that way.

At a minimum they could have sent us a heads up prior to posting it on their blog.
Thats all I'm saying

I had decided to run for council again as I said mainly for transition and project continuation/closure purposes. Unless the idea of a council is utterly killed by some entity with clout, I will still do so.

There's a status quo to dissolve now and a new one to build. The former causes anxiety; the latter stimulates the creative juices.
No matter what the outcome, I'm going to stick around and try to bring closure to my (too many) pet projects. Help wind things down if nothing else. I owe that to the community that put me in the position of being part of something grand. If it had not been for that, I might not have ever seen Amsterdam (I don't get out much) and I am still glowing from that wonderful experience.
Some of those projects, like Brainstorm improvements, the Maemo User Experience Framework and even community outreach may very well have a place at the MeeGo table. I hope so, and hope to help out if nothing else.

So, a very simple question then, to the Council:
- can you ask the following question from Nokia (and via them Intel/Linux Foundation):
-- Can maemo community decide to move over to meego and will Nokia help implement such move, if the decision is yes?
(I thought about a 3rd cascaded question, but it is still morning ;-) )
This would clarify the possibilities. If the answer from Nokia is "No", then we are on our own and can decide to keep maemo community as it is, or rename it to meegocommunity.org or ... If the answer is "yes" from Nokia, then we can pick to move to meego.com, too.
So, the council could help perform the first 2 steps:
- check for constraints from N/I/LF
- poll the maemo community for direction

I'd like that question to be very specific. Nokia said a while ago that it was committed to the community being comprised of developers, enthusiasts and end users. I'd like to see some sort of commitment that end users are still wanted, since they don't seem to feature in the moblin landscape at all.

Very good point to clarify the meaning of community for Nokia too. Thanks.

Telling a community guy about the merge worth nothing for the community in general, but that action showed at least that they trust the people inside the community.
