The source is open, so in practice the work done on the open dimension can't get lost. So the effort put in by nokia and intel in meego is all good for open source/linux point of view. Samsung and intel are already continuing the work in tizen, and they have some kind of more open agreements enforced by the linux foundation there, so I would be surprised if we wouldn't see linux on more and more of devices in the future. Also the tizen probably isn't a threath for nokia, since they should know the ins and outs of the system pretty well, so I would see it as samsung chipping also in for the platform, which can be used by everybody.

or something in the lines of that
The biggest problem I see in the moment is fraction. Even if we get Tizen, then there still is Harmattan, Maemo (for those of us still using the n900), Ubntu Mobile and Mozilla's System. What I would love to see would be a Nokia device running open webOS, since HP is doing a good work in the moment and while the system itself (webOS) still has its flaws, a Nokia device with the new release would be great.
Don't get me wrong, the community is doing a great work, inventing and developing things, but it's gonna be hard to be one community, if we have Maemo, MeeGo, Mer, Nemo etc etc, since all are slightly different...

My two cents,
blck

P.S. But then again, WP7 looks like a great system to me and even if I would have a more open OS (like open webOS could be), I doubt that HP has the ressourcesto make it succesful, whereas Microsoft has - in the end: everything that's not iOS or Android is more than welcome...
