Moblin 2.2, I think, was dropped as a F-13 feature so I'm undecided
about the status of the spin. I'm still very hopeful that I can get it
done in time but unfortunately upstream is not overly open so its a
matter of juggling. If it happens it will be a Meego 1 based spin. I'm
still working towards it and hoping the planetary alignment happens in
time.

SoaS is intended to be offered as an official spin from spins.fp.o,
I've just taken over the lead of this from Sebastian, I'll review all
the details next week when I'm back fully in front of fully connected
devices :-)
