Also, from Nokia's perspective, MeeGo is an outgrowth of Maemo, and a fair bit of additional, formerly proprietary Nokia pieces were fully open sourced for that transition, so that's further progress.

As I've said, the Community Council doesn't govern the community. Nor do they have authority over Nokia. Blaming the Council, particularly just the current members, for Nokia not fully open sourcing Maemo is unreasonable.
Fair comment but sadly i have to disagree with you mainly because THE only real link between Nokia and Maemo is in fact this community.

I feel a lot lot more should have been done by this community to get the much wanted code out of Nokia than it has done.

I also feel this community head(s) listen's to Nokia far too much and not to its members.

I am a bit in the dark about this but thanks to posts like yours we are learning more so thankyou !.
