The MeeGo community is a working community. Sure, we like to have fun but we also like the communications to run smoothly. To that end here are some guidelines for participating in our forums.
There’s only one of you, so you only need one account, right? Multiple accounts will be deleted.
Got something interesting to add to a conversation or a question about something? Don't just sit there, jump in!

The button is there for a reason, and everyone likes to be thanked. Yes you do too, you know you do!
We have both techies and non-techies here and we both know we don't exactly speak the same language at all times.
I have this friend named Google who knows a lot of stuff so you might want to try asking him first. Then why not search the forum, maybe someone else has already asked your question?
Some people browse MeeGo.org from work. Would you want your boss to see you looking at that stuff?
Please don't post links to bootleg software or any other illegal content. You don't want to pay for expensive lawyers.
Don't post malicious instructions that may cause harm to system the instructions are used in without due warning.
You know the guy. Don't be that guy.
Nobody likes spam. We don't want to see your "marketing messages", and we don't want you to wire us money from your Nigerian bank.
If you wouldn’t like that said about your mother, neither will the other guy.
Ultimately, the moderators and admins reserve the right to remove your posts or even your account if its felt to be unhelpful for the MeeGo endeavor or community. See our process for dealing with violations for more details.
We also have some fancy legal stuff on our Terms of Service page that covers a few other things you might want to know.
