With the announcement of Tizen, where does this leave the various community efforts to bring MeeGo / MeeGo-Harmattan CE / HE / ?E to the N900.

My guess is that they're all closed and CSSU is it. I would just appreciate it if someone would just say so explicitly.

Back when the N900 was just out if Nokia just stuck to their guns and held on to Maemo and knocked out Harmattan without the distraction of MeeGo I wonder if we'd be in a different place. I guess we'll never know.

first off, with the announcement only made yesterday, I'd suggest that all parties are scrabbling to find ground and determine where things will go from here.

To my understanding I'm not aware of any efforts to bring harmattan to N900 in it's current N950/N9 form, so I guess there's no change there.

As for the N900CE (REAL Meego) builds, I can only hope that we'll see the 1.3 release before it all ends.

Given that Intel has been fairly specific about Tizen targetting Intel chipsets, I would think that all Arm ports of Meego may not have much of a future, so for those interested, now might be a good time to start downloading the non-oss components from the repo.

Don't assume that Meego was the distraction that caused all the grief for Nokia.
Nokia's decision to completely rewrite for Qt was the major hurdle for the quick and smooth progression of Fremantle to Harmattan, not their involvement with Meego.
