The Community outreach program has gotten to the point it is without Nokia's direct help (which is a good proof!). The last thing from Nokia's side is that I asked for a rough budget (isn't it?). I guess the MeeGo steering group (or whoever will decide on budget for community activities) will ask just the same.

Also note that "community merger" doesn't mean stopping the work until everything is "merged". It's by keeping working and converging on common directions and projects how the merging happens.
