since meego.com checks the openId provider.
It simply means that MeeGo can now use your maemo.org login session (via the OpenID protocol) for registration and authentication, so you don't need to maintain your information (and passwords) in both services.

Each user has a personal URL (in format http://maemo.org/openid/id/username/) that are the ones that get connected to a meego.com account. So only you can use your maemo.org OpenID.

Here is some more information about OpenID: http://openidexplained.com/
