So, Intel decided to left MeeGo, it's clear that their effort on the

Why?
(Honestly, why *must* we organise the community?)
I think that many other companies have interest in continue the
development of MeeGo.
Metasys consider MeeGo the best sollution available for Netbook
platform and we are already deploying MeeGo on schools. For us the
development continue, i think we (the community) need to settle new
goals and reorganize the governance of MeeGo.
MeeGo is a collection of open source software components. Tizen will
also be a collection of open source software components. which of
those components will be different? There will certainly be a few, but
I don't know how many. Which of the new components are currently
closed and will need to be freed, and which of them are already free?
I don't know.
Are there any software projects that people are attached to, which
will not be part of Tizen? Dunno... I guess there was a nascent Buteo
community, there's a little momentum around ConnMan (but as far as I
can see, almost none around oFono); all of the netbook GTK+ based apps
and components (all the "zones") appear to have no community at all.
I guess what I'm saying is, what's the difference between MeeGo and
Tizen? And if they're not that different, why stay here, rather than
go there?
Cheers,
Dave.
If there are - as you say - no differences between MeeGo and Tizen, then
let me throw your question back at you in reverse and ask why go there,
rather than stay here and continue to fantastic work that has been
ongoing for MeeGo?
