Peter -- sorry to hear that.  A couple points I wanted to make:

* We have a talking point currently listed for the Mobility spin.  It
  makes sense to me for the Marketing team to change that to simply
  mention inclusion of some software from the MeeGo project in Fedora,
  without reference to a spin at this time.

* Are you interested in using the upcoming FUDCon in Tempe to
  evangelize for Mobility, Sugar, etc.?  I think it'd be a good
  opportunity since we'll have student attendees from ASU.

* Are there specific tasks laid out somewhere that the Board and
  contributors like myself could point out to someone who wanted to
  help, like a blocker bug list, wiki page, or something like that?
  I'd love to bring some more hands in to help, and it's super-helpful
  if I can point them to a list like that.
