MeeGo Conference round-up

Last week was the second MeeGo Conference, held in San Francisco. The conference started well, with a two-day warm-up, including live-action Angry Birds with teams building catapults and levels out of balsa wood. However, the conference proper's start marked a low point, with feedback on the keynote almost entirely negative. Your editor, Andrew Flegg wrote:

Announcing new devices, or freebies for attendees, isn't necessary. However, I did expect the MeeGo Conference Keynote to address the challenges facing MeeGo now; particularly since February 11th there is not a mass-market consumer electronics vendor onboard as a strategic partner. Celebrating the work that has been done to date is necessary for the community psyche. Outlining the next steps, including a roadmap, is integral for the development ecosystem. None of these things were done, and it left a pall over the entire conference.
However, the sessions, BoFs, and sense of community still left it feeling like a worthwhile event. No date or location has yet been set for a subsequent conference.
